Hi, I am very fond of the previous generation square type monitors and really dislike the current trend of wide screen monitors. but i see that the square type monitors are becoming rarer and rarer nowadays and in the laptop sector they are no more available, for company built desktops too the square type monitors are not available but the square screen is available in the market if you are self building a desktop computer.
What a great 15 inch square type laptop monitors used to be available before but now the 15.6 wide screen has replaced it totally. i personally feel the pictures and the letter size on the web pages look larger with the square type monitors compared to the wide screen type, for example chess boards, youtube videos, letter size while reading news in the yahoo, letter size while reading the email etc all look better for me on the square type monitor compared to the wide screen. I feel the movies too appear better on the square monitors (characters look larger). since no laptop nowadays comes with square screen i may think of building my own desktop with using one of the square type monitors available in the markets. there are couple of brands available with 17 inch square type monitors for desktops (dell, iball etc) and i may use this type of monitor. my question is will there will be any major technical problems i will face if i choose the square type monitor over the wide screen type. since the wide screen laptop went off the market i have been silently crying and desperately looking for a square type monitor, so if i build my own desktop with square type monitor will there any technical issues i face with the display of pictures, video, or reading a web page like yahoo etc, i am asking this because i feel the web pages are prepared for the wide screen nowadays. Thanks!
