EIZO makes a 1:1 monitor you can buy off the shelf right now:

I like how they target programmers specifically on their landing page.

I wonder how well it works in practice. I typically have multiple tabs open so I don’t mind going wide over long. But it is easier to look down rather than sideways.


What I'm really concerned about is having to look down for longer periods of time with monitors like these.

I used to have a terrible back pain that magically disappeared when I elevated my laptop so that the screen is at my eye level.

I still have a lighter version of this pain whenever I have to work for an extended period from a coffee shop or wherever I can't elevate the laptop.


Great aspect ratio but pathetic DPI. I'd buy it in a heart beat if it had 4x the pixels.


It’s a great test case for your “is this display landscape or portrait” functions


I love it, perhaps we are entering a golden age of 1:1 screens. I had a blackberry passport and the second greatest thing about it was that it had a square screen and took square pictures.


It's been out of stock for years at this point.


i have that and the one thing i don't like about it is the max rate is 60hz. even 75 would be fine; i don't need amazing, just a bit more than 60. this new lg monitor has really neat features: the picture by picture and the built-in kvm are clever and useful, but it has the same 60hz.
