    Hey guys,

    I'm looking for a monitor to use when I'm home. I have the z590 and I would love a sony to keep everything the same brand, but the most important thing I'm looking for is the aspect ratio.

    I want a monitor with the same ratio as the z's 1.78 aspect ratio (1600x900 resolution). I don't want all of my stuff to shift around whenever I put the laptop on the dock.

    I've searched but I can't find any lcd monitors with that resolution/ratio. Do you guys know of any? Do any even exist?

    1600x900 is 16:9 (quite obvious ;)) - monitors with that aspect ratio come with a higher resolution. 1920x1080 for example. Dell UltraSharp S2409W for example.
    I dont know if Sony still builds monitors (except for TVs)
