I much prefer the standard 4:3. I have an old 22" CRT (20" visable) and I find it far superior to any current LCD out there. My freind got a samsung 204b back in the day, a 20" standard 4:3 LCD 1600x1200 and while it doesnt look quite as nice as my monitor it too is far superior to any current LCD Ive seen including some of the "nice" Dell monitors. If my CRT blew up Id want and would even pay extra to find an LCD like my freind has. Even the 20" size aint bad and its only weakness is the fact that it doesnt look and displays colors as acurately...but that isnt the end of the world since Im not a photo pro. I get migrains trying to force my eyes to cross outwards to see the widescreens. Yeah, widescreen is great when your 10 feet back watching TV, but for any kind of computer work the old standard square is far more productive and you get more screen for your money.
I want to see a 24" LCD with something like 1920x1440 with good even picture and color acuracy (basically a larger version of my freinds LCD). His seems pretty good on input lag too (compared to my CRT with no lag) Id pay 3-500$ for it. Why are we forced into these terrible formats? Am I really the only one who likes the old format? Im curious how many are out there getting screwed by the widescreen too.
Other possible resolutions would be like 2400x1800, 2000x1500, 1800x1350, or 1600x1200. I think the 19x14 would fit both the widescreen users and us "normals" because its a good resolution and capable of displaying full 1080p content without stecthing/scaling (bars only on top and bottom).
