what's so unusual? it's easy to understand

first it was 4:3, then (4:3)^2 = 16:9 and also 16:10 (also it has to do with old resolutions like 320*200 (16:10), 320*240, 640*480, 800*600)
then from 16:9 it evolved to 18:9

when you say 2:1 you have to calculate to understand how it is different to 16:9, whereas 18:9 tells you which dimension became bigger comparing to usual ratio.

PS 3:2 is nasty to look at, would be better if it was called 15:10

That sounds like marketing language again. It is a damn legth ratio, nothing more. One side is twice as long as the other. Simple. If anything forces me to calculate anything, then it is presenting it like 18:9 or 1486:743. Why should I care how different is it from anything?

But OK, let's assume it matters. Then why not 16:8?

But I see I am fighting an uphill battle. The damage has already been done. If the population at large really sees it like the quote above, then there is no chance. We are all doomed. And we deserved it.

Of course it is.

Product Engineer: "Our displays are bigger! Now they are 2:1!"
Marketing Person: "That sounds smaller... I'VE GOT IT!"

Regardless, this kind of thing should not be news. No one advertises their product logically. Thinking it strange when they don't is just as illogical.

Because people like 'common denominators'. Hey, it's even in math!

PS What if I told you that there are 21:9 monitors? mind you, 21:9, not so logically-looking-for-you 7:3

If the Product Enigneer says: "Our displays are bigger! Now they are 2:1!" he is an idiot
If the Marketing Person answers: " That sounds smaller ..." he is also an idiot.
The aspect ratio is not telling you anything about the size of the screen. Whoever don't get that is an idiot.

If you want to tell somebody what's the size of the display, tell him:
"It's 12,8 x 7,2 cm" Whoever still don't know what's the exact screen size is a complete idiot.

I have the H3123 variant, I think it will work, as at least for Android, ROMs for H4113 works on H3123, hope that will be the same
