For the vast majority of users, in reality the need is for a PORTRAIT oriented screen, not a landscape one of WHATEVER proportion !

After all, how many web pages are wider than they are tall ?

And how many word processor documents ?

As I posted earlier, the industry has screwed the silent majority, the sheeple, the typical user - call this group what you will - just for the sake of saving about 15% of the pixels and marketing a 16x9 screen to SEEM to be the same as a 4x3 one of the same diagonal dimension when in truth it is not, and when these ordinary folks get their new computer home, they are more concerned with getting it to run at all, rather than understanding the relative merits of various screen geometries, and by the time they figure out that their OLD monitor suited them better, it's long gone.

1x Apple Cinema Display
1x Crossover 27Q LED-P ($350 CAD) (Same screen as Apple SO CHEAP!)

You can get Catleap, Crossover and other brand from Korea. Shipping is 2 days for me to Montreal.

And making the font smaller just so it fits in the screen is not worth me squinting to read what's 24" from my face.

Absolument !

16x9 screens are the nothing more or less than the fruition of yet another rape of the public's common sense by large corporations dictating to us what to buy, in order to cut their manufacturing costs by misrepresenting the REAL size of the product by selling it based on its diagonal measurement.

Who the HELL needs a wide screen on a computer ???!!! (except possibly a few accountants who use spreadsheets)

Widescreens on a PC are PC (PURE CRAP).

Sorry, but them's the facts.
