What about the monitor format? I always prefer 4:3, you only loose height on a widescreen monitor. A standard film format isn't existing, there's 4:3, 5:4, 16:9, 16:10, 22:anythingelse and so on. I think in the consumer corner you'll get mostly widescreen, professional monitors are still 4:3 I think.

To all TFT users: Have you tried a monitor color calibration of your monitor in MacOS? It needed heavy adjustments on my Samsung Syncmaster 204b. CRT monitors don't need this, also my Eizo monitor works perfectly without corrections.

@Beaver: Do you want to use an OSx86 system for business? Think about the (il)legality, especcially if you live in Australia this could be very problematic.
