Hmmm let me see if I can talk you out of a 4:3 set! Here is a simpe experiment: Take one hand and place it on you forehead as if you were giving a salute. Place the other hand on your chin. Now, gradually move your hands apart while looking a fixed spot a few feet away. Now move you hands apart while keeping your head level. Notice how quickly you hands move out of view. Now try the same thing but this time with you hands cupping your ears. Move your hands apart. I think you will find that even very far apart you can still see your hands. This will tell you about the "shape" of human eyesight. We see more on a horizontal plane than a virtual plane. 4:3 is an unnatural aspect ratio. Well if you decide to buy anyway, don't say that I did not tell you, lol!
