Two word docs side by side One word doc and a browser
Etc... Having to scroll/move windows to fit full lines left-to-right as you read EACH LINE is a _PAIN_. Scrilling one page up at a time is muuuuch better. But, rarely do I need to have JUST a doc open... a widescreen monitor lets me do that and still have access to other junk on the screen. -sc From: Maglinger, Paul [mailto:pmaglin...@scvl.com] Sent: Monday, August 10, 2009 12:18 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Monitor: regular or widescreen I personally don't see a benefit to the widescreen for typical computer work. You could get a few more spreadsheet columns on a widescreen, or more area to display if you're using a graphics program. If the price is the same or within a few bucks, get the wide. Otherwise, I don't see the value. ________________________________ From: Tom Miller [mailto:tmil...@hnncsb.org] Sent: Monday, August 10, 2009 11:03 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Monitor: regular or widescreen Folks, I"m about to start purchasing for our annual PC refresh cycle. I normally purchase 17" monitors (we are a Dell shop) but I see I can get 19" regular and 19" wide screen for just a bit more. Anyone care to comment on the benefit of wide v. regular size?
