Not when you figure in that widescreen is closer to the human vision, especially the good motion detection ability at the sides. Human eyes couldn't use that much height on a screen.

I can only get a 20" 4:3 display for that money as well.

there is only widescreen if you get a new LCD (and yes I did see gaming on widescreens)

What's wrong with widescreen Jmke ?

I'm rather a widescreen enthousiast!

19" TFT wide next to 17"TFT (both samsung) next to each other here. I like the widescreen one a bit more

if games don't support widescreen resolutions you're stuck with spread out images; and for office work it's only so-so because you'd end up turning the screen 90°C to get a higher screen, not a wider one

for movies.. Okay granted that has its advantages, but for movies I got a HDTV and a comfy seat

you're stuck with black bars at the sides and some lost screensize

well, I neither got a DVD player nor a big TV

Widescreen is okay, but I don't like it with certain games. Great with widescreen movie, I do watch movie occasionally from my PCs. Get two

If you can't see, go to an eye doctor first.

Ok that's a valid point. But not everyone has an HDTV you know Jmke
