Widescreen will cost a hell of a lot more, I can tell you that.

Other than that, you might have black bars on the sides for some games? I think it all depends on your video card.

Your workspace should be fine once you install the necessary drivers.

ahem. as i said, widescreens at the same sizes are going to be around the same price as thier normal screen brothers.

i think i looked at that acer when i was thinking about mine. the viewsonic had a better responce time and was brighter people said.

mine was 309 when i ordered it... oddly now its 325







and GM, yes most tv shows (expecially older ones are full screen only) and i cant say i've ever seen a tv show that has come in both formats.. even ones like Alias, or Lost which play on full screen for normal tv's, only come in wide screen when you buy the DVD.

Oh. I guess they measure diagonally 19 inches. Then you can ignore my comment.

i quit looking. i couldnt find anything that says they cut it off.. i found some stuff on errors that said the error couldnt be seen in widescreen because a tv cuts it off, and if played on the computer or a projector it would show it (like the 2nd helicopter, the one holding up the camera man or something) but thats not what your talking about.

sooo i gave up. lol
