No, it's not.



I'd be interested in hearing other use cases.


The aspect ratio media query just lets you apply certain CSS to the page depending on the viewport aspect ration. It does not set an aspect ratio on an element.

Maybe there’s something I’m missing, but I’m not sure how knowing the aspect ratio of the screen would help make an element 16:9. If my browser is narrower or wider, that doesn’t affect how I would style the element.


Oh, sorry, I was reading an article about the new CSS aspect-ratio property and mixed it up with the CSS aspect-ratio media query.
