Why all monitor and tv's shape is square(or rectangular)?

Question

Is there any specific reason for it?

Answer 1

You got to transmit in pixels which had to be has the length breath definition. thus in square /rectangular.
this also applies to your camera . The lens /scopes are round but end up square on the screen, due to the above.
Cause that is the shape the image is broadcasted in.There used to be round TVs when they first came out.
Here writing work takes place from left hand side to right hand side and comes faster to left without writing and continoe to write as I said earlier. This is just like we wrirte ustng pen and paper.So,Monitor is designed in rectangular shape just like our Note book . Because it is the most convinient shape to view the visual effects. One can easily concentrate on videos that have square frames. Also, one has better depth perception while focussing a square frame. Besides you wouldnt like your round shaped TV rolling on the table. Square is definitely the best shape to keep TVs steady so as to have a better vision . TVs used to be circular because the first CRTs were circular (or conical if you are pedantic) However they displayed a rectangular picture . Something that has a constant width is easier to deal with than something where the width varies as you go down the screen, so you end up with a rectangle.

I wish televisions and particularly monitors were still sold in square format. A 4:3 TV is defientely better for displaying old programmes and movies, and widescreen content can be viewed letterboxed or with the sides cut off.

Also, when you compare 2 screens of the same diagonal size, one standard, one widescreen, the standard one is always taller and has more display area.


While a widescreen monitor is good for gaming and widescreen videos/movies it isn't so good for everyday pc work ie documents, internet browsing, as these activities make use of vertical real estate rather than horizontal. A 1280x1024 monitor will show more of a webpage at once than a 1440x900 monitor, for example.

On a large widescreen monitor (such as 1920x1080) you will get lots of blank space at the sides. On a smaller widescreen monitor, you will lack vertical space. Therefore a non-widescreen monitor is better for general pc usage rather than a widescreen one. An exception to this is if you multitask, but the majority of users still use most applications maximized.

Even if you compare a 19 inch 5:4 1280x1024 monitor to a 16:9 22 inch 1920x1080 one, alough the widescreen monitor technically has more space both horizonatally and vertically in terms of pixels, the the 19 inch one is still physically taller, becuase it has a 5:4 ratio (see my point earlier about diagonal size) and so better for everyday work - alough the 5:4 monitor has less pixels, that doesn't mean a thing once you take zoom levels into account - for example, lets say I have a word document on a 1920x1080 monitor - to make it readable I have to zoom in - but on the taller square monitor, I don't have too as it appears bigger.

The 19 inch one will display everything larger too as it has a lower pixel density. The trend these days is to have high resolution, high pixel density screens which alough make everything sharper make everything smaller! I sometimes miss the old days when I ran my 17 inch CRT at 1024x768, yielding a pixel density of 75, everything was nice and big. Try cranking down the resolution on an LCD monitor, you'll lose sharpness and make the fonts blurry.

I actually currently run my 21.5 inch monitor with a native resolution of 1920x1080 at 1280x960. This resolution is stretched if I run it full screen so I run it with black bars on the sides. Why do I do this? Well, 1280x960 and 1280x1024 are the only two resolutions that display well on it. Every other resolution makes text blurry and lack sharpness. I have tried running my own custom resoultions, such as 1800x1024 (which is roughly 16:9 ratio) but they just run blurry. There is also this weird effect on some resolutions where different lines of text have different levels of sharpness. If I choose 1280x1024, the black bars at the sides are slightly larger, so I chose 1280x960.
I also prefer this resolution because I don't have to look into the corners of the screen as much and everything isn't as spread out when using applications.

Because it is the most convinient shape to view the visual effects. One can easily concentrate on videos that have square frames. Also, one has better depth perception while focussing a square frame. Besides you wouldnt like your round shaped TV rolling on the table. Square is definitely the best shape to keep TVs steady so as to have a better vision.

Answer 4

What shape would you like them to be?

TVs used to be circular because the first CRTs were circular (or conical if you are pedantic) However they displayed a rectangular picture.

Something that has a constant width is easier to deal with than something where the width varies as you go down the screen, so you end up with a rectangle.

Plasma reveal is the fluorescent reveal Tube, Its a vacuum Flat tube. In Plasma situations you could discover the photograph Like CRT reveal, the two have Phosphor strip. mild will generated from crimson eco-friendly and blue Phosphor. you could considered finished reveal photograph from any perspective like Flat CRT Tube. yet in liquid crystal reveal situations perfect viewing perspective ninety degree in basic terms . approximately 40 5 to 60 degree you could viewing the image with much less assessment and brightness. Brightness label will decreases while perspective will will advance. you could try with OLED(organic and organic mild Emitting Diode) reveal gadget. Its the only reveal which you will fold or roll If its manufacture for that way. Already used and effectual at lots of cellular telephone Small television reveal and digital cameras . Its greater mild and shade intensity then liquid crystal reveal

Here writing work takes place from left hand side to right hand side and comes faster to left without writing and continoe to write as I said earlier. This is just like we wrirte ustng pen and paper.So,Monitor is designed in rectangular shape just like our Note book.

Answer 7

Cause that is the shape the image is broadcasted in.

There used to be round TVs when they first came out.

Answer 8

hum that is a good question
let me see

Cause that is the shape the image is broadcasted and give good result.

There used to be round TVs when they first came out.

Answer 9

You got to transmit in pixels which had to be has the length /breath definition. thus in square /rectangular.
this also applies to your camera.
The lens /scopes are round but end up square on the screen, due to the above.
