I have never seen 17" and 19" 4x3 LCD's. All the non-widescreen ones I have ever seen have been 5x4 with 1280x1024 resolution (and it is actually 5x4 screen). I have currently LG L1953S on my table for example. Weird thing is, that the LG homepage claims, that it is "4:3" - but actual screen has 5x4 proportions (about 37.6x30.2 cm for actual screen area). And native resolution is 1280x1024. So it seems, that manufacturers are for some reason incorrectly using 4x3 instead of 5x4 in their documentation.
