Oooh, I know this one :)  Some commonly used resolutions on 19" CRT's (I 
think 1280x1074 was an example?) produced a slightly stretched image 
(the 'pixels', on that screen size at those resolutions, were not 
square).  End result is, before widescreen LCD's became the norm, 
assuming 4:3 monitor aspect produced more accurate image for more 
people.  (monitors were made in 4:3 proportion, but the XGA resolutions 
greater than 1024x768 are *not* 4:3)
