First I want to note that everybody is missing the subject about *square
1:1* displays...

larger than 19"... some, perhaps, but not many. The world switched to
16:9 about the time prices started falling on > 19" panels.
We have/had tons of 4:3 20" monitors (mainly Philips and HP). I will have
to junk them because they have been replaced by newer ones and I really
don't collect modern LCD monitors.
I have a couple of arcade cabinets I'd love to
switch to LCD. No luck
yet except with a 16:9 that would fill the cabinet space but give me a
black bars and a smaller playfield size than the CRT.
Why? Can't you ignore (i.e. hide) the left and right margins?
