OT - Monitors (warning - math ahead!)

[Kamog]

I prefer the regular 4:3 monitors to the widescreen version.

I'm not sure if games would adjust to a wide screen. What happens if a game isn't designed to work with widescreen, do you get unused sections on the left and right sides of the screen? If so, that area is wasted and you end up with effectively a smaller screen.

Most games these days support widescreen resolutions. In the absence of such, the video card can either stretch them to fit 16:9, or cut off the sides to make the display 4:3.

Hrm... widescreen LCD's... shows how much I'm out of the techno loop

I'm in agreement with you Kamog, I too prefer the 4:3 ratio.
