Eizo Debuts Monitor With 1:1 Aspect Ratio

jones_supa writes: Eizo has introduced an interesting new PC monitor with a square aspect ratio: the Eizo FlexScan EV2730Q is a 26.5-inch screen with 1:1 aspect ratio and an IPS panel with resolution of 1920 x 1920 pixels. "The extended vertical space is convenient for displaying large amounts of information in long windows, reducing the need for excess scrolling and providing a more efficient view of data," the firm writes. The monitor also offers flicker-free (non-PWM) backlight and reduced blue light features to avoid scorching users' eyes. Would a square display be of any benefit to you?

OK, I don't know much about those monitors, but you did say Sony. So my immediate assumption would be that they patented them (that's OK), but in addition made all connectors to it patented and everything had to go through Sony display drivers/cards. And they likely only accepted video data formatted in a patented Sony format that they would never open up, etc. etc. etc. bunch of Sony bullshit ad nauseam, all of which made anyone else who thought about using them say fuck that; why pay a shitload of money for something I can't use with any of my other stuff? And like a bunch of other rather good ideas Sony has had in the past, it died and withered on the vine of incompatibility.
