You mean a square-screen display?  1280x960 is 4:3.  I have an 18.1"
1280x1024 LCD on my desk at work, and it's decidedly more square than
my laptop screen (1024x768).  I don't think I've ever seen an LCD monitor
with non-square pixels anyway, and running 1280x1024 at 1280x960 would be
absolutely horrid.  ;)
