Yes, you get 16:9's you can rotate and that will beat any 4:3 you can think of. A 16:10 would be even better.

lol, still not what I'm looking for. Looking for a normal 4:3 lcd. I know you get it in 20", looking for a little bit bigger.
Ok. The biggest 4:3 panel you get for a consumer LCD monitor is 21.3"
Samsung has a 214T, http://www.samsung.com/me/products/monitor/lcdmonitors/214t.asp
There are other manufacturers that satify your requirement like Eizo but expect to pay R10k-R20k EIZO L997-BK & EIZO S2100-BK
If you have money to blow then we can start looking at displays used in the industrial/medical field which are about 22-23" but expect to pay about R100k+
Or get a 30" with high resolution and work in a windowed 4:3 environment if you are so hung up about it. http://www1.euro.dell.com/za/en/dhs...pd.aspx?refid=monitor_3008wfp&s=dhs&cs=zadhs1

Do you maybe know what I can expect to pay for that 21.3 inch locally?
IF you can find one it's going to cost about R5500 unless you can get a secondhand one.
They came out in 2007 so I don't think they make them anymore.

A rotated 16:9 lcd will look awful imo.

Rotated 16:10 looks crap. Your eyes are horizontally set, so a vertically set monitor takes more work to read, not to mention the crap viewing angles and colour shifts (the monitor was designed to look its best when set horizontally).
I can confirm what previous posters have said, 4:3 max size is 21.3". BUT, the resolution on those monitors is 1600x1200, while my CHEAPER Philips 24" is 1920x1200. So you don't loose any pixels vertically, just gain a few horizontally. If you need more pixels vertically, then you have no choice, buy a 30" (2560x1600) and a DL-DVI card. I've looked into this issue before, but if you find any new info please let me know.

I have not seen any 4:3 LCD's bigger than 19", at any of my suppliers for some time now. Maby you should look at a 32" Full HD.
