I wonder how many people still use 4:3 monitors these days. Do they even still make one?
-
I think our both our TV's are.
-
Still have 3x 21" Sony Trinitron CRT monitors (feels like 30-40lbs when I lift them up lol) and 2x 19" BenQ T903 LCDs. Don't think they make any more 4:3 monitors though. Oh and my 9-10 yr old Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop is 4:3. It's my kitchen laptop for looking up recipes and other basic things.

I still have a 19" one, as a temp backup in case my current 16:9 24" monitor dies on me..

I have none at home however at a business I worked at this summer, 4:3 panels were actively used.
You can still purchase them:

This one is nice:

Commander Wolf can i haz broadwell?
I'm using a 4:3 Samsung SyncMaster 204B as my primary desktop monitor. It's got a pretty good pixel count for the size (20" UXGA) so I don't really see the need to replace it unless it breaks.
My secondary monitor is a 5:4 Sony, and my "backup" is a 4:3 ViewSonic CRT
Heck, up until two months ago, I was using a 4:3 laptop as well... -
I have a 19" in the office for business

Typing this on a 5:4 (1280x1024) LCD from 2003/2004. If it ever dies, it's nice to know I can still replace it with something roughly square.

Also use a 5:4 1280x1024 as my primary screen on my work desktop. Hyundai L90D+ from 04/05. Love it.

On my main desktop I got a Dell 2001FP. I use it in portrait mode. You just can beat 1600 vertical resolution for internet usage. I wish I could find one of the 2048x1536 monitors, but they're all like $3k, which is too much for me.

I still have a 4:3 monitor for my old IBM, and a 5:4 Acer monitor attached to my Acer back up desktop.
However, my absolute favorite monitor is still my trusty old Dell E248WFP. It may have been Dell's cheaper option vs the Ultrasharp, but a good old 24" 1920 x 1200 monitor with a matte finish is hard to beat. Colours and contrast is surprisingly good for a TN panel, as well, better than both of the screens in my notebooks. -

i used to have JVC CRT's JVC , Samsung and some other brand tv's till 2009 till i got a samsung LCD TV but i still have a dell 19 inch, 1280X1024 monitor.. more screen space but its with my desktop.

I bought one of these Newegg.com - SONY SDM-S74/B Black 17" 16ms LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 500:1 in 2004 and it's still running like new, viewing angle is perfect from any angle, no screen flaws of any kind. I use it all the time with Mathematica and text editors. When you work with text only, 4:3 aspect is your friend. Resolution is 1280x1024.
-
ALL monitors at work are 4:3 and unless someone breaks they are not scheduled for replacement in the near future.
-
I have a T61 4:3, and dread when it dies. Even big monitors are being designed for movie watching instead of working. I'm seeing more 1080p widescreens rather than the 1920x1200 :-(.

Yep, most workplaces I see have tons of 4:3 displays still going strong, I have 1 4:3 left at home and a bunch of 16:10 that I'm holding out with as long as I can to try and resist the encroaching doom of 16:9
-
We still have a 4:3 CRT monitor (17"). It hasn't been used for several months though. Waiting as a back-up device.

90% of monitors are CRT, someones 15". -
I still have a 17" Philips LCD with 1280x1024 and an old 17" Philips CRT at my other place, they are both 4:3, there is also a second, even older 17" Philips CRT in my basement, but that one is dead and is awaiting some new for old special where I can dispose it.
How many households still have 4:3 monitors?
