I see the aspect ratio as the main problem with current monitors, especially on laptops. 4:3 was nice, 3:2 is pleasant, 16:10 is wide but tolerably so, 16:9 has too little vertical pace.
It is sad that current monitor are all glossy and very wide: optimized for movies instead of text and other "lean forward" applications.
BTW, Dell still produces very nice and not too expensive IPS 16:10 monitors.
