The Widescreen takeover. Are regular monitors a thing of the past?

[tuqqer]

I use dual montiors, and like getting new ones every 18 months or so, selling the old ones on eBay. I've been through 5 sets now, and this last set, View Sonic VA226w, is the first time I've tried widescreens.

I don't like them. Or, they're okay, but I miss the additional height of normal 1200x1600 units (widescreens at 22" are 1050x1600).

Are normal screen sizes the new betamax? Are they eventually going the way of the dodo? I rarely see them on sale any more. It's all the widescreens now.

I think it's a sign that I just need to suck it up. But I am watching the deals; I'd eBay these otherwise very nice monitors for a good pair of 1200x1600s in a heartbeat.
