Unfortunately, the whole affair is a ripoff of epic proportions. Put
a 20" 4:3 display next to a 22" wide-screen display and the 4:3 model
looks positively gigantic. Since screen size is measured by the
diagonal, making the screen wider than high drastically inflates that
number. A screen that's 5 inches tall by 19.5 inches wide is a 20"
display.
You can still get 4:3 displays; see the NEC LCD195VX+ for example.
NEC also sells color-corrected displays in 4:3 format, such as the
LCD2090UXi-BK-SV.
You're probably not going to find these at your local Wally's World.
