| 559722 | 2007-06-16 07:37:00 | If you are not watching DVD's I would recommend a 4:3 aspect ratio over widescreen, you get more "real estate" for the width than you do with a wide screen . I run 2 x 19" 4:3 aspect ratio's side by side, but my laptop that I use occasionally is 16:9 wide screen . The laptop is good for DVD, but highly annoying for 99% of the work it is used which is MS Office related . When working on a letter you simply don't see as much of the letter height wise on a wide screen . The desktop with dual 4:3's are just great though, even in single screen mode . I would not want wide screen by choice for office type work . Putting 2 letters side by side on a single wide screen makes them too small for me . |

| 559724 | 2007-06-16 08:00:00 | now..I guess if you're rich you can try running dualscreen one more 'square' and the other widescreen and just pick which monitor to use under different situation~ I watch both 4:3 and 16:9 material would be nice if I was..well..rich :D add a 24' widescreen with my 19' would be nice~ um..think I just posted a useless post.. |

| 559725 | 2007-06-16 08:53:00 | Imo 24" is the mint spot :thumbs: | mejobloggs (264) | ||
| 559726 | 2007-06-16 09:14:00 | Thanks again guys . 24" would be the bees knees - with a mortgage |

| 559727 | 2007-06-16 09:18:00 | Dual 4:3 for the win :D | Erayd (23) | ||
| 559728 | 2007-06-16 09:44:00 | dual monitors would be the bees knees too - with a mortgage |

| 559729 | 2007-06-16 14:50:00 | I like my wide-screen, you will gain pixel height if you go 20.1" or above and a lot more width too. Widescreen 1680X1050 Normal 4:3 1280X1024 |

| 559730 | 2007-06-16 16:33:00 | I have to lend my support for those saying 4:3, mainly because this is my personal preference. I don't need a wide screen and ones I have used have done weird stretching things with the screen...also I prefer 4:3 for gaming and my main things for this computer are internet and gaming with a bit of assignment work on the side, but that stuff's not important compared with the former ;) I'm quite happy with a 17" LCD at 1280x1024 (although I don't run 2 apps side by side) |
