Actually I still miss 4:3.

I personally love my 1280x1024 desktop LCD screen. I am going to hate it when that thing dies.

Same here ... 24" 16:9 displays are for who? I work with my display, not gaming or movie reviewing.

...and besides, any self-respecting movie buff knows that all the best movies are shot in anamorphic widescreen, with no less than a 2.35:1 aspect ratio.

They're starting to get closer to that ratio now: http://www.dell.com/ed/business/p/dell-u2913wm/pd

Is it really that big of a difference?

16:9 has won, and will continue to be the standard for some time.

Get the Cannon 4096x2560 or the Chrome Pixel if you need something closer to square.

"In November 2013, Canon entered a new market: high-resolution display monitors. The new 4K Reference Monitor, the DP-V3010, a 30-inch 4K IPS LCD flat panel display, is priced at $40,000 and will be available in the first quarter of 2014."

Chrome Pixel isn't even a monitor.

Your advice is not at all helpful.
