One day TV makers are going to switch to 9 by 16 screens, vertical portrait mode TVs on the wall. Im from the future. Check back in 10 years, you will see.

the problem with that, and a big reason why it probably won't be adapted, is that portrait mode shows you fuck all, it's good for showing one person (you know like a portrait) but if you want to show multiple people you have so much deadspace top and bottom. Landscape is just aesthetically better

Also, our freaking eyes are horizontal. There's no way around that

You'd still need landscape video.

The Sero from Samsung back in 2020 is how it all started to go sideways.

Or in this case, upways?

[-] meekah@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

I'd like to think the opposite of sideways is downways

Was trying to be semi-funny based on how the screen changes orientation.

You are probably right though.

[-] meekah@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Oh, I was trying to build off of your joke by saying that the change from horizontal to vertical video is a downgrade haha

[-] randomuser38529@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Of course.
