Petition to tv makers (your thoughts about that)

I noticed that quite often people talk about lack of large 4:3 lcd monitors, I was thinking how about a petition to all tv makers? From those well known all the way to relative unknowns. If there was at least a 1000 signatures I'd think they might be interested.
All we are interested is what?
-4:3 aspect,
-Resolution?
-Size?
-Cost?
-PC-only connection?
-No ghosting (how's that called? Forgot)
-whatever else I'm forgetting
I don't know how this works, but it seems like they don't manufacture tvs into millions but rather tens of thousands, short series of different models, maybe large amount of the same type would make them to at least consider? I know there will be nay sayers, that no one will ever agree, but it would cost the community absolutely nothing, some time create the petition and hosting.

Neither one of those I could do as I don't:
a) speak/write english with proper grammar
b) don't know how to build web sites.
(in other words I just nicely excluded myself from my own idea)

And if they ever agree, then we can always ask them for very wide narrow monitors to cram them into our marquees ;)

c'mon there we go with the negativity. And you know that how? As I said it would cost nothing to really find out.
Further thoughts. We (community) could go as far as establishing a saving escrow account for down payment to entice the companies to look into it. Remember we probably don't even need cases for those monitors only a way to mount it and the guts. Also we would bypass retailers so that saving could be passed either directly onto us or pay higher price to manufacturer to offset smaller run of the line.

Of course escrow would have to be established by several hopefully well trusted people so no one could just take all the money and run. If it wouldn't work at least you would have small interest on your money.

This would be pointless.  Even 10,000 customers wouldn't be a blip on their radar.

That isn't negativity....that's reality.
