Why would 16:10 be SMALLER than 16?

16x10 > 16x9 ...?


16:10 is a ratio, not the size of the screen
SC2 has fixed height. the wider your screen, the more you see

ratio = width:height
width: higher = "better"
height: lower = "better"

or you can divide both values by the height:
16:'9 = 1,7777:1
16:10 = 1,6:1
4:3 = 1,3333:1
5:4 = 1,25:1

Use the native resolution of your monitor. No reason to use anything different.


i hear this a lot, but what is the reasoning for this?

My 'native resolution' is 1280x720, I have it set to 1280x768 because my widescreen display looks weird at native resolution (screen doesn't fit yet everything is oddly too big) yet my nVidia control panel recommends I set my resolution to 1900x1080 (which in and of itself is weird because my monitor is 720p).

i just figured to set my resolution to the resolution that's closest to my native resolution, seeing as how it doesn't fit things properly at native and I'm not smart enough to know if there's a way to fix that.

Lots of people prefer 4:3, there are great quality CRTs with 4:3 resolution. I recently switched from 16:10 to 16 and I notice hardly any difference whatsoever.
