I've stuck with it, because it was only in the last few months that ANY LCD's came out which had a low enough pixel refresh that FPS games wouldn't blur before they hit 60fps.
Bollocks. My 8ms Acer TFT screen is at least a year old. 8ms = 125 fps.

I suspect you're stuck at maybe 1280x1024 which isn't even a square pixel resolution.
I think the word you're looking for is 4:3 aspect ratio. On a 5:4 aspect ratio screen, a 1280 x 1024 resolution does indeed have square pixels.

Infact, the visuals are tons sharper with this monitor minuse the glare from the CRT.
Not to mention that the combination of Graphics card + Digital Visual Interface + Digital Flat Panel TFT gives an accurate 1:1 image of what the graphics card wants you to see rather than one that's been converted to analoge with all the data loss associated with DACs.
