869501 2010-03-23 18:35:00 I currently have 3 19" (not widescreen) LCD monitors attached to my computer. I am looking at replacing one with a widescreen, but am not sure what size I need. It needs to be as close to the height of a 19" display (ignoring the surrounds) as possible, but definitely no shorter (slightly taller is fine).

Anyone know what size widescreen I should be looking at? The sizes of widescreens don't seem to match the size of non-widescreen monitors. And it's a bit expensive for some trial-and-error testing :D

And on the note of widescreen monitors, is there anything I should look for or avoid?

Cheers,
Mike.

869503 2010-03-23 20:13:00 If you are thinking 22'' you might have to go to a 16:10 aspect ratio to get that height.
A 24'' with a 16:9 would also be about that height.

869504 2010-03-23 20:50:00 My 19" 1280*1024 (5:4) non-widescreen is 303mm high.
My 22" 1680*1050 (16:10) widescreen is 298mm high.

The monitor size calculator at

cubic.bioc.columbia.edu

is quite good
