From around the web
Come back 4 x 3 screens (for business)...
"The 16:9 1080p panel just about makes sense at this size, but we still think a good 16:10 screen offers a more natural working area."
The 4 x 3 screen seems a better bet for businesses than most wide-screens, if only because it is closer to the portrait mode that most people work in for web pages and Word documents.

"...and if you want those three extra inches..."
There are people who have paid rather more than £250, for substantially less than 3 inches ;-)

but surely a widescreen monitor turned 90 degrees to portrait view IS EVEN CLOSER or is it me being stupid?
