I am disappointed in this article for the reasons stated by the above commenters. Perhaps I will stick to other review sites. Normally I have a lot of respect for the hard work at Notebook check...

Put black bar to get corect aspect ratio

The Galaxy S20 has a 20:9 ratio. The iPhone 11 has a 19.5:9 ratio. Tall ratios are the norm on premium devices. Black bars are practically a non-issue for OLED displays like Velvet's, and are only a concern for cheaper/older backlit LCD displays. There are so many more important display factors for YouTube viewing like resolution, HDR support, refresh rate, color calibration accuracy, peak/minimum brightness, etc. Even battery life (for binge watching videos) is more important than aspect ratio.

What a horrible fluff piece. At least take a shot at Samsung or Apple for even more rage clicks if you're going to waste time lamenting display ratios.

If it's an OLED display then those black bars are nowhere near as annoying as on LCD ones where they're backlit.

Personally, I have a 21:9 Xperia 1 and not even once did its aspect ratio bother me while watching YouTube or even older 4:3 video content.

With the Velvet, the Korean manufacturer has managed to pull off a fascinating comeback into the midrange smartphone segment. However, due to its very tall aspect ratio, the LG Velvet is not suitable for watching 16:9 or 18:9 video content.
