kumicota :shrazil: (npub10jp…elmz) I think 16:9 largely became popular due to the change in film aspect ratio.

Film used to be 4:3 and then moved to widescreen formats. As people got sick of the pan and scan used to crop the newer film formats to 4:3, portable media started switching to widescreen.

People got sick of letterboxing on their 4:3 screens so, widescreen screens started.

That isn't including the evolution of screens due to games/computers as well.
