1920 x 1920 resolution monitor

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.

We spent years on 4:3 aspect ratio and now they want to return to almost the same thing.

Golden ratio is a winner for a loooooooong time.

I agree. the 4:3 was decided upon a long time ago but for technical reasons as well as being 'pleasant' for the viewer to look at.

Looking back tho, the original screens, about 3.5" were square, but that was a technical limitation that decided not only the size but also the aspect ration.

In my past I was an electronic typesetter for printing pagination setup and 2 screens were used in that field.

One was a screen for command and text input visualisation and was 4:3, the second screen as for pagination output simulation with a tall aspect of about (I'm guessing) 3:7
