mine is 32" and also 19:9, but:

I prefer the minibuffer output to start
at the same position at all times, so I
do not have to "search" for it.

Don't know if eye movement to the left
bottom corner as opposed to the centre
bottom is any slower / more strenuous,
but I hate searching around on my
monitor for things I suppose to find at
a specific place.

Just my 2¢, Gregor
