I'll admit it did seem a bit strange at first but it was explained in
the Acer Brochure:

The different aspect ratio accommodates Vista's Live Sidebar features.
I'm not planning on watching HD movies nor do my video work on this so
the 16:10 shouldn't bother me (I'm not Vista yet either).
I saw one today and it really looked good but they were out of stock
until???

The monitor market changes weekly, so it's sometimes hard to rely on product
reviews for the latest deals. But this quote from the article jumped out at
me:
this monitor has 16:10 aspect ratio, which is considerably more favorable
than some similarly priced monitors.
What a pain. Apparently someone is selling 16:9 ATSC monitors alongside
16:10 computer monitors?
