I am retrofitting a mill and am planning on using the qtdragon GUI. I found a Planar PT1945R-BK touch screen monitor. I'm concerned about the aspect ratio. The picture of it look almost square. Will this work with qtdragon?

If not what is the minimum size monitor that is practical for the GUI?

I think 16:9 (1920x1080) is what you would be looking for. Especially if you are going to run QTDragon_HD. I was previously running QTDragon but have since switched to the HD version in LCNC 2.9.1. I'm using a ASUS VT229H touch screen monitor and it works great out of the box. No fiddling or calibration.

I have a 16-inch monitor on a moving arm. qtdragon works fine. To increase the size of text and gui touch things I set the display resolution to lowest  1280x768 even if physical resolution of the screen is higher. Not smaller than 16 inch I would say.
qtdragon is resizable so there is a chance it works. Qtdragon_hd is fixed at 1920x1056.

I did the same thing to get QTDragon to fill the screen and make everything bigger on the screen.  The only downside was that touch screen would be out of calibration.  QTDragon_HD solved that issue.

Didn't have a problem with that. Qtdragon_hd on 16 inch monitor - you need good eye sight and small fingertips. 16 inch is too small.
20 inch should work. I have a 22 inch where I run gmoccapy still and the screen size feels a bit large, need to move a lot on the screen to touch things. Apart from that it is nice with a large screen.

I had a 15.6" I think it was 1280 x 768 and I had to upgrade to a 15.6" 1080p monitor and go to qtdragon_hd as I could not get qtdragon to size correctly. It is OK for touch but a 21"or so is better. I had to work with an existing enclosure.
