    Can't say I've ever met anyone that hates working on 4:3. Pretty much everyone misses them. But 16:9 benefits from huge economies of scale since TV sales vastly outnumber monitors, and there's lots of issues using the same assembly lines for different aspect ratios. And I suppose it legitimately works better for laptops where the keyboard is a major size-defining element.

    So I finally gave in and bought a 16:9 monitor that was tall enough. 20" tall in fact (42"diagonal) Which is actually a bit bigger than I would have liked, but the smallest 4K TV I could find at the time. (I was hoping for a 35"). Best $200 I've spent in a long time (after extensive research I settled on a TCL - most other TVs don't make good monitors.)
