The only reason to ever go wide was for entrepreneurs to make a buck off of the blithering idiots of the world. you see next they will sell square screened monitors for more than the wide screens. All just a marketing ploy for blitherings. I still have my 24" square flat screen, and it can view wide screen with the correct resolution. wide screens suck. a squre screen is perfect for any type of autocad operation. have you ever seen the cruddy view of a building or ductwork on a wide screen?

I am an amateur photographer, I shoot more vertical than horizontal images for portrait and architecture, and they are forced to appear smaller than the horizontal ones. At present I'm using two crt's, one of them in portrait mode, but I need to split my slideshows in two. I agree, I hate wide screen and would love a 2k x 2k (or 1200 x 1200 at least) square monitor.

I, like you, could not find a manufacturer, but I support that there must be a demand, 2 people anyway. I came upon this after looking at my old 6x6 negatives from my old medium format camera, I always preferred that format and found that not worrying about orientation was neat. I don't buy the wide screen or golden ratio stuff, I want square. I found your article while trying to find a square monitor myself. 2k x 2k would be perfect.

It's a sweet setup. I would never run any of them landscape mode though. I have to agree with Damn Brit. One day, you are going to wake up with a very stiff neck that won't go away.

That also goes for normal TV. I hate that they've started to broadcast news and such in 16:9 here in Denmark, especially since they just don't add a black bar at the top or bottom, no they add a black section around the picture most of the time since not all clips and shot in 16:9. RETARDS! Back to pc monitors... I kinda understand why you think 19" are crap compared to 17" because you can't set it to a higher resolution but I diagree with you there. Having 19" allows me to sit a bit further away from my monitors and still enjoy the quality. And that way I feel my overview of my two screens is better. Atm I'm using two Samsung SyncMaster 913N (19") and I love it. I would feel handicapped if I had to go down to one screen again. I’d go for a 4:3 any day if you ask me. That also goes for normal TV.

I'm often in two or three different applications and it's nice to see them side-by-side. The new side bar on Vista also takes more advantage of widescreen. Of course, the wide screen setup does leave a bunch of empty space on the the sides of various blogs. I like the widescreen displays for multitasking.

But you just need to find the right distance. Highstakesliving: Yup, I do play a bit online poker and always shuffles the chips, also do it from time to time when I work. Didn't play any poker for awhile, got to change that.

I'm always shuffling chips while playing :D Nice setup Sam, I’m guessing you play a little online poker due to the poker chips next to your mouse. I’m always shuffling chips while playing :D
