16:10 is an uncommon aspect ratio these days but NEC has introduced an excellent new 30-inch screen ? the EA305WMi. It sports a wide gamut with a GB-r-LED backlight driving an AH-IPS panel. We?re checking it out today.

It's a fact that if one buys a computer monitor today, it will almost surely come in a 16:9 aspect ratio. But one doesn't have to set their time machine too far in the past to find an era when this wasn't the case. Like televisions of yore, desktop displays also conformed to a 4:3 ratio. This was ideal for just about any computing task and even today would work well for web browsing, document creation or even gaming.
