I have actually never used a 1600SW for an extended time, but I was thinking. If we could find a Chinese or Taiwanese firm to make the 1600x1024 panels, we could get a VA or IPS panel made to drop in for the 1600SW. Throw in a more modern PSU, and we have a pretty decent quasi-5:4 type monitor. But I only say this because I am sick of the lack of any modern 4:3 displays. 16:9 and U L T R A W I D E feel like ripoffs to me and I don't like just turning them portrait. Just doesn't feel the same. 

Anyone ever considered something like this? A VA panel would be cheaper and could have a higher refresh rate.
