I personally use a 4:3 because I got it for free and it works fine for what I need. In fact I have 2 of them!

 

PS. Sorry if this is a repost but I searched and did not find anything

16:9 has been the standard for awhile now........

I prefer 16:10 but....kinda hard to get 16:10 monitors (for decent prices and VA panels) or TV's

I play CS on 4:3 aspect ratio but other than that I do 16:9.

 

What do I vote?!

I use the 16:9 format but that is only because it is standard and therefore cheaper. 16:10 is nicer but I think I like the 3:2 format that the Chromebook Pixel uses the most. 2560x1700 is lovely to work on!

I'm still running on my core i7-920
