Ok, I stand corrected.

Here is the list:
Name	Resolution	Ratio
VGA	640x480		4:3
SVGA	800x600		4:3
XGA	1024x768	4:3
SXGA	1280x1024	5:4 (it's still an abomination...)
UXGA	1600x1200	4:3
WXGA	1366x768	16:9
WSXGA	1680x1050	16:10
WUXGA	1920x1200	16:10


But I did refer to CRT not LCD monitors. Here's mine f.e.
Samsung 957p	352x264mm	4:3
