Newer monitor with this shape exists?

Somehow nobody has mentioned the BenQ RD280UG Programming Monitor yet? It's brand new, and is specifically a 4:3 monitor with modern technology and features. Pretty much exactly what you're looking for.

Monitor for Thinkpad x1 carbon gen 13 aura edition

I equipped the trading room users with BenQ RD280UG 3:2 aspect ratio monitors marketed to programmers. Two of those fit nicely on a standard desk, lots of vertical screen space.

Monitors for coding

I’m currently using the Benq rd280u coding monitor, the squareish 3:2 aspect ratio feels great, big enough but not overwhelming.

Which matte finish monitor for a mini? 5k or 4k? Confused....

I really like my BenQ RD280U (use two of them side-by-side). They are a bit taller, which is great for Xcode.
