Does 16:18 monitor need a pivot?
I guess I'm not a target, but I definitely like that something this unusual is available and for a reasonable (for a niche product) price.
Sadly as-is, it's too niche; given the affordability and availability of thin-bezel 1440P displays and 4K HDTVs (portrait).
Neat. -but, underwhelming.
