I couldn't go back to HD or lower unless it was a laptop or 22" or less. With 4K one doesn't see pixels without a magnifying glass. It's glorious!

1. How does this help you?
2. Isn't this kind of personal?
3. I'm sitting in front of an Acer something or other 27" (which I'm very happy with) "LED TECHNOLOGY" connected via DVI at 1920x1080 at refresh rate of 60. My laptop has 11.6" 1366 x 768 and it's functional.

I have a Dell UltraSharp 24 inch 16:10 IPS panel with 1920 x 1200 resolution.
I got that almost five years ago.
Before that, I used a Samsung SyncMaster 5:4 with 1280 x 1024 resolution.
Before that, I used a 17 inch eMachines CRT 1280 x 1024. It was part of a computer bundle from Circuit City in 2006.
That eMachines 17 inch was the best looking CRT I've seen. Unfortunately, they didn't make a 19" version.

I see a lot of people still use 4:3 monitors, both here and on the screenshots threads. Is this a choice, or have you managed to keep a monitor working for 10+ years?

In my case I accumulated several 4:3 flat screens years ago when we upgraded the store computers. We had CRT's and they wouldn't fit the space anymore. At that time 4:3 was the standard.
Then we upgraded again and now most screens at the store/office are 16:9 and I inherited the old 4:3 screens. I use them as second screens in my office and at home in my lab. But I also have some of the old CRT's which are a lot nicer to view in my opinion.
Also, when I see an old 4:3 flat screen in a thrift store for $5 I usually buy it. I've had a few go bad and then I pull from the inventory to replace the bad one. Or use them temporarily while purchasing a new 16:9 screen.
