Ah, that's partly why i asked this question in the first place as i pretty much couldn't find any 4:3 monitors anymore in PC World, Currys, Comet etc. I wondered how far back this went, whether it's only the last 6 months that they have stopped selling (and people have stopped buying) the older non-widescreen monitors/screens.
Of course. They've started killing them.Hey, does anyone remember the "Floppy Disk"? You know, the thing used in the "Save" icon? No one? What about the CRT monitors? Video tapes? Anything?
Yeah i remember video cassettes, audio cassettes, Betamax, LPs, VCRs, 386's, 486's, ZX Sinclairs, they were all great. But they all got succeeded to be fair, despite how fond i (still) am for all of them.
Good point Borgi, it doesn't lend itself to the retro feel of older titles! There's nothing i like more in a retro title than 320x240 screen resolution!
They were even cheap about 5 years ago when i bought my old pc. The model of lcd screen that came with the pc was sold out so i picked up a £49 19 inch crt monitor and ive used it ever since. Came in a bloody big box though.
