roughly equate (give or take a few pixels) to the formats we're used to in film as they have proved to be pleasing on the eye.



I've never thought of 35mm (3:2) as being a pleasing proportion 1:1.414 (square root of 2) seems much more appealing.




I beleive the ancient Greeks determined that the Golden Ratio, 1:1.6180339887498948482..., was the most appealing aspect ratio. See here.
