  • they just don’t take advantage of the extra space on their own. A wide monitor allows you to put multiple windows side-by-side without the expense of an additional monitor though.

    A square monitor is much more limited.

    Stop making a single browser window full screen and use the additional space on the side for something useful. A chat application, a notepad, a calculator, file browsing, a second browser window, documents, etc.

    Or rotate the display to be tall instead of wide if you really want the extra vertical space.

    Just because you haven’t bothered to take advantage of the space doesn’t mean it’s useless. You’ve just trapped yourself in a close-minded box. Making the monitor wider doesn’t ‘reduce the amount of viewable area top to bottom’, it adds additional area to the sides, primarily for additional tasks in an office setting. It’s up to you to actually use it.
