I just did some measuring in my office: My 17" TFT has a width of 13 1/4 inch, height 10 3/4 My co-worker's 17" (viewable) CRT (so I guess thats a 19" CRT) has width 14 1/3, height 10 2/3
LCD displays these days are often running far stranger resolutions than 1280x1024. If the pixels are square and the drivers are good then nothing will look distorted. I know the 23" apple cinema display runs at 1920x1200, which is an aspect ratio of 1.6. Since the pixels are square everything looks fine (though full screen video shows black bars on the sides).
As far as to the 1280x1024 question, I don't know. What I do know is that when I run my 19" Trinitron on 1280x1024 everything looks great, and when I run it at 1280x960 things look strange. Maybe I just got used to the aspect over time.
