No joke, if they refreshed CRT tech for computer grade monitors I would really consider buying one. Hopefully with weight and size reductions. They are the superior PC item beyond those two things.

My desktop resolution is 2560 x 1440.

If I want 4:3 with the black area off to the right would my viewport command be:
/viewport 0 0 1920 1440

I am struggling to see the benefits of using 4:3, the bit that is chopped off doesn't seem like a big deal to me.

Thank you.

Think of it this way: if you are facing two trees, and those two tree are on the far left and far right edges of your screen, any viewport you have.. 4:3, wide, ultrawide, even a rediculous ultra narrow 1:2 it something, those trees will always be on the edges. The horizontal viewport is locked. But the more narrow the viewport, the more will be rendered vertically.

People play 16:9 and don't seem to mind. I think that's okay 3rd person. I still think 4:3 is better. But ultra wide is bad. And first person really benefits from 4:3

UI toggled off. Taken in the same spot.

1600x1200 4:3

A few days ago I started reading about Pantheon Rise of the Fallen and came across this interview with Brad McQuaid done by someone called "Countdown to classic" :

https://countdowntoclassic.com/2019/...4rd-on-quests/

Somewhere along the line Brad talks about regrets/mistakes from his previous games and SPECIFICALLY mentions the spellbook medding saying that "it was probably one of THE most stupid things he implemented"

Brad interview starts at 1h05m and he mentions spellbook medding at around 1h51m15s
