I definitely want to find a 16:10.
16:9 is the same ratio as 1920:1080. Don't bother trying to estimate with the screen size, use the pixels

I've run 4:3, 16:10 and 16:9. I definitely prefer the later, but, 16:9 isn't as bad as you think (go look at a HDTV in a local store and see if you'd like that on a computer). You can find the 1920x1200 resolution on 24" monitors, maybe on some lesser ones as well. 1680x1050 is the next step down (and also 16:10).
