You can buy it right now, famalam.

...

so uh, what's the point of getting a square monitor?

Kek this reminded me I had a dream last night (or maybe the night before) that my local Sony shop closed down because they only stocked those old crt cctv/surveilance monitors, also had p3 for like 100$, more than slim.

Okay, so they do exist. They'll be rare as fucking hen's teeth, because I've never seen one in person.

But more importantly, what's the point? Why would you want one? It's not an aspect ratio that anything is made to work well with.

It's great for text.

I thought portrait 4:3 was the way to go for that?

I'd buy it if it wasn't $1200

How so? documents side-by-side on a large 16:9 or 16:10 is good for text. 4:3 is good for text. Turning a widescreen monitor sideways is good for text. Perfect square only gets you a little more vertical space than 4:3.

Square most closely matches the non-peripheral field of vision

Irrelevant. You don't stare at the dead centre of the monitor to read, you centre your vision on the text you're focusing on.

Damn that's sexy. I'd buy one if they weren't a thousand fucking dollars.

Even mid-peripheral vision most closely matches a square.

Still irrelevant.

Hot opinion

Few things to start off with =]. 1. Yes I am replying to you because you are a femanon, 'tis an awesome thing to see! 2. I'm anonymous. 3. Don't be intimidated, but I am not a stereotypical guy. If anything, I'll be the one at the feminist rally =D.

But you can have the best of both worlds only for a fraction of the cost...
>sry for the shit image

1080 horizontal pixels is too little
1920x1920 is perfect

>one thousand three hundred fucking dollars
Literally what's the point of this meme shit? any decently sized 4K monitor will literally give you a bigger workspace in

DIRECTIONS at like half the price.

is your GPU incapable of outputting 4K or something?

Says the guy who thinks anything other than the centre of vision matters for reading text.

>is your GPU incapable of outputting 4K or something?
4k was available 15 years ago, so yes.

Too little for what?
It's perfect for browsing the web, shitposting on Sup Forums, and writing code.

Sorry to hear that, Jamal. Maybe you can still return your square monitor and buy a superior 4K panel along with a GPU made in this decade with the cash left over.

The square monitor has more pixels than 4k.

When are non uhd 4k monitors going to become affordable. I don't want to move off 1440p unless there's a substantial upgrade for a good price.

But it's god-damn perfect for office work.

5:4 for office shit,
16:10 for gaming,

and you're good to go.

Can get one for $995 but it's still too much. I'm tempted though.

Post feet

poorfags gonna poor--they see what they want and don't take it like the pussies they are

Are you retarded?
