are pixels on monitors not square or what?

no

standards in media are only loosely defined, that's all

They probably just wanted to use smaller numbers instead of saying "64:27 aspect ratio" so they rounded it off.

You can check whether or not the pixels are actually square, though. Make an image in Paint that's like 1000x1000 and get out your ruler.

they just rounded it off, the aspect ratio is actually like 21.35:9

>> No.5903258

Not that it has anything to do with it but, pixels are actually round

>> No.5903459

Yes, pixels are not square.

This is due to atomic imperfections in the way pixels are produced at the pixel factories.
