[wellylug] Monitors in the other direction...

[Bruce Hoult]

There are huge numbers of high resolution 4:3 screens sold these days! My
most often used web browsing computer has a 4:3 2048x1536 screen with built
in dual core 1.3 GHz 64 bit ARM, 1 GB RAM, and 16 GB of flash.

However it's only 7.9" (or 9.7" as an option). And the pixels are kinda
small.


However, you'll note that a 20" with 1600x1200 has virtually identical
pixel size to a 23" with 1920x1200 (it'd be 22.6) and it's easy enough to
find those cheaply AND easy enough to make them display a 1600x1200 image
with useless (but cheap) black bars down the side.
