Which actually gives a more 'natural' look? I also notice that W. screen looks a little 'distorted'.	bk T (215)

In games a slight flattening of circles is noticed on the wide screen, but not enough to distract. I run ms flight sim on the wide screen and all ancillaries on the other. An ideal setup	JJJJJ (528)

Widescreen monitors are quite handy for working with text - often it is more convenient to have 2 shorter pages side by side than it is to have one big page.	Greven (91)
