Eizo makes a 1:1 26" 1920x1920 monitor. I've been tempted several times but the 1k price tag is keeping me off for now.

I wish they made this with a high refresh rate. It would be hard for me to go from 144Hz panels back down to 60: https://www.eizoglobal.com/products/flexscan/ev2730q/index.h...

Looks like they also offer a 2048px square 28" for anyone willing to pay Air Traffic Control prices: https://www.eizoglobal.com/products/atc/sq2825/index.html#ta...

Also this is the first time I've ever seen a monitor brochure page be NSFW https://eizo-or.com/en/global/products/monitors/

I've got one. 100% recommended. Bought mine at $1500. I'm not rich but I've never regretted this purchase.

Have you considered buying an nvidia card and 4k monitor of the same height (or width) and setting square resolution + cropping one/both edges?

No, I didn't think of that. It would give the same effect (after all 1920x1920 isn't that high a res). But on the other hand, could I resist using the other pixels I paid for?...tough choice.
