more info? (how could they not be square? are there any that have deliberately non-square pixels?)

i was going to say, either a big error, or just a bad idea.

they were probably "square" technically, but when adjusting the monitor to fit the desktop top- bottom- left- right edges, a circle on the screen was wider than it was tall in every resolution, it wasn't so major i couldn't use it, but i did always notice it
- ribit0
but thats just your choice of what you want to put on it... same problem with wide-screen displays, you have to decide how you are going to display stuff on it... constrained proportion (which you would use for most stuff), or 'stretch to screen' (things like wallpaper)
- ribit0
um... what settings were you adjusting exactly?

i'm talking about a 4:3 monitor set at 800x600, 1024x768, 1152x864, 1280x1024(native), and 1600x1200
always looked a little squashed
it wasn't like i was trying to fit a 16:9 resolution on a 4:3 screen
- ribit0
actually...sounds like you were using it at non-native resolution (bad and blurry), and choosing resolution proportions that didnt match the screen proportion (even more badder)...
- version30
settings adjusting:
size/center on crt screen
reset to default even have the same appearance.
crts have this issue because of the tube i would assume
- ribit0
that cant be right... pixels are square and those are 4:3 resolutions...must match up.
Where did you buy this thing?!

you're an idiot, i'm done with this conversation
- ribit0
duh... you are talking about a CRT... I missed the switch from LCD to CRT discussion there......
- ribit0
actually I'm not an idiot... I thought we were talking about a report of LCDs with non-square pixels

I think he was talking about an LCD display dude.

I was talking about an LCD with non square pixles.
my dell 1905fp (and viewsonic VA912b), has a native
resolution of 1280/1024 == 5:4 ratio. not 4:3
but the screen itself is 4:3. therefore: squished pixelswhy they didn't make it 1280/960 is beyond me.
- skelly0
like i said, either a manufacturing mistake or just a bad decision.

LCD. I design magazines, so the colour is an issue, and I think the LCD does quite well. Unless you get your CTR calibrated, its never going to be spot on for colour anyway. I find LCDs much easier on the eye and they don't have the glare and reflection problems CTRs do.
- ribit0
Isnt the Dell 1905FP 5:4 ratio? (i.e. with standard square pixels?)
- auxillary0
I made the decision actually already but now I know for sure...
I am going LCD.Thanks for all the input guys!
