My old, bulky CRT monitor has started randomly re-sizing the screen size (mostly the horizontal) 3-5x/hour. So I am shopping for a flat-panel. Shocking though this may be to some of you, I do NOT want a widescreen. I do lots of word-processing and Internet research, and would really prefer more VERTICAL space, but I doubt that's possible.
So, for my shopping purposes, is there a term used to designate a monitor that is not widescreen? So far, I have found no way to narrow my searches to exclude widescreens, and even after opening an entry for an item that is not designated as widescreen, I often find that it is when I get to the specs.
In new or refurbished, the best-looking choice I've found so far is the Dell Ultrasharp 1905FP, available at [url=http://www.accurateit.com/details.asp?iid=679][/url] or maybe for a little less on ebay. Any experience with that one?
It seems expensive compared to most because it does not use a TN panel, and because of that, it has a significantly improved color and general appearance over most panels. It's also not widescreen, and can even be rotated 90 degrees for a portrait orientation, for even more vertical space. The 1600x1200 resolution is quite nice too. It even has a built in USB hub.
