If not, splash out and get a widescreen. I got a Samsung Syncmaster 172W from Harvey Norman for $850. Admittedly it's the only part of my system I really splashed out on but as it's the bit I look at the most then I thought it was the most important.
It really makes a huge difference for watching those movies. Useful for games too by the way. Having a wider view of the playing field on Fifa 2005 makes a big difference. :)
Also useful for office applications, especially if you've got a few things going at the same time. You have a bit more screen space to play around with.
If you go widescreen, you will never want to go back.

If you have a look at PCWorld.com (not the NZ PCworld) they have comparisons for LCDs (some you can get here, some you can't) They also have a pretty informative rundown on different things to look for in LCDs.
