No, it just means you can add "...on the internet." and get a patent on something that was otherwise old news.

Forget square monitors, I'd be happy if 4:3 made a comeback. Yes, I know they still exist, but they're a lot harder to find than they used to be. Go to any Best Buy or Staples and all you see are 16:9. Those are great for watching movies, but I prefer to watch movies on my TV and do work on my computer. And for pretty much all work except video and movie editing, 4:3 is better. I'm currently working on an old Samsung 4:3 which is starting to give me trouble (making strange noises and going dark at random times requiring me to cycle the power on the monitor.) I hope I won't have too much trouble replacing it when it dies.
If that old Samsung is new enough not to be a CRT, then you've probably got "capacitor plague" going on in the power supply.
Plug the Sammy's model number in at lcdalternatives.com and see if they already offer a replacement cap kit for that model.
If they do, that most likely means that model was produced with the "plagued" caps and lots of other people have had the same problems as you.
"it's not so useful TO watching video"
I think you mean "FOR watching video", but then, those damn two and three letter prepositions are just SO difficult for you Americans, aren't they.
You moron.
Or should I say "moran", since that seems to be have most Americans spell it, the irony being lost on their tiny brains. And let me add in 'definAtely', 'rEdiculous', and 'could care less' to that long list of words and phrases that moronic Americans can't spell or write correctly. You fucking idiots.
At least those of us who know not to say "different than" know that when things differ, they differ "from" each other, not "to" each other.
Finally get back some of the vertical space lost when every laptop and desktop downgraded to "HD".
Absolutely. I mourn the dearth of tall-screen monitors. When I want to watch TV, I use a TV.
Televisions have been advertised by diagonal measure pretty much starting with when they went to rectangular screens from round ones well over 60 years ago.
Since they were all 4:3 ratio, if you were comparison shopping a 19" Zenith and a 19" RCA, it was apples to apples, and you could figure out x and y from the hypotenuse if you had to know width and height.

Having recently "downsized" their QA staff testing work has been outsourced to paying customers.

Are you kidding? This is Microsoft, that's always been the function of the paying customers.
Or are you saying they've been promoted from beta to alpha testing?
How many colored people live in the Ukraine? Hmmm? Just sayin'. Coloreds are all the same.
All the people who live there are colored.
Most of them in various shades of beige.
Truth is the first casualty of war.
Usually before the war even officially starts.
I wouldn't be surprised if murdering the truth was done on occasion specifically to facilitate starting the war that follows.
Yes, but it was an unexpected reply.
Is there going to be a separate website where you have to copy and paste the URL of the page you want to report (what could possibly go wrong?), or will your ISP somehow insert the button into every webpage you load (what could possibly go wrong?), or will the button be a separate pop-up on every page (what could possibly go wrong?)?
And if you're trying to report a single comment on a page full of comments, how will you go about being sure it's that comment and only that comment that gets reported? (what could possibly go wrong?)
And how much extra will your ISP tack onto your monthly bill to cover their "expenses" in providing this "service"? (what could possibly go wrong?)
The issue is the "PSU" on-board a big graphics card is not replaceable. It's power cirtcuitry that feeds on the order of 200 amps to the GPU and handles huge transients / power and voltage transitions.
Perhaps you mean 200 Watts?
