Widescreen format has a width/height ratio of 1.78, human vision has a width/height ratio of 1.8.

Why would you want a screen that isn't somewhat close to the same ratio as your vision? Your one pixel tall screen is quite far off from the ratio of human vision.

"wide screens" != "widescreen". I'm merely demonstrating that distinction with an extreme example.
