I spent 2 years cropping screenshots with the wrong aspect ratio for my phone wallpaper

I was making all these cool game screenshots into phone backgrounds and they kept looking stretched or cut off weird. A buddy in a Discord server asked why my wallpapers were 16:9 instead of 19:9 like modern phones. I had been using an old preset from a 2015 tutorial and never changed it. Took me 20 minutes to realize I could just measure my actual screen pixels and set a custom crop. Now my backgrounds actually fit without looking trash. Has anyone else been using default settings forever without thinking to check?

Man you are way overthinking phone wallpapers. I set mine to fill the screen and if it crops a little bit off the edges who even notices? You are obsessing over a tiny detail that nobody else will ever see unless they literally borrow your phone and start analyzing your background. The time you wasted fixing this could have been spent on literally anything else. Those game screenshots probably looked fine with some black bars or a slight stretch. Perfect alignment down to the pixel is not something normal people check.

Is it really that deep though?
