Eizo Intros FlexScan S1703-T 17-inch Professional Monitor
5:4 isn't dead yet, with Eizo announcing a new 17-inch monitor for productivity applications, using the latest consumer monitor technologies. The FlexScan S1703-T from Eizo uses an LED-backlit LCD panel, which draws no more than 9W in typical usage. The monitor features 1280 x 1024 pixels resolution, 170° horizontal and 160° vertical viewing angle range, 250 cd/m² brightness, 1000:1 static and dynamic mega-contrast, and 5 ms response time. It's also one of the few monitors in its size category to feature DVI connectors, with HDCP compliance. Its feature-set includes Auto EcoView, which adjusts brightness to match ambient lighting conditions, and 2W stereo speakers with headphone jacks. Measuring 367 x 188 x 384 mm, it weighs 4.4 kg. It is slated for November 22.

Also, 17inch 5:4 screens rotated into portrait mode are the perfect size for reading magazines and comics,and vertical 2d shooters in MAME,
unlike 24' 16:9 which are just too big for using like that.
So for niche usage, 5:4 is better than anything else available.
it's MVA and I can already tell it's way nicer than this TN W-LED cra...
See that excel spreadsheet. 44 rows?! That is a 1600x1200 screenshot cut and paste onto a 1280x1024 screen. SHAME ON EIZO.
I'd like to see more "square" TFT offerings... in fact I would love to see 2048x2048 available for "productivity" users rather than military at $10,000 a shot.
