IT seems to be the default for wide-screen aspect ratios for 19" and 20"
monitors. I see that (and 1920 x something) everywhere, even in the 21"
and 22" monitors. *I* wan't more vertical space (less scrolling when
reading a page), and am less interested in horizontal geography.

I'm waiting for a good deal on a Samsung 204B. Might want to look at
this one yourself, if you haven't.

I'll bet they were. :)
I'm using a Sony Trinitron Multiscan 400PS 19", which I don't think will do
1600x1200. My last Trinitron would, but at that (same) size for me the
elements were a little small. They should be fine with the two more
inches diagonal that moving to a 20" LCD from the 19" CRTs provide.
