Well, actually, I was thinking more along the lines of widescreen TVs. :-)
But I figured what's applicable to a desktop as far as the equivalent screen
size would be applicable to a TV. :-)

Subject: Re: widescreen vs "standard" monitors

Don't recall the discussion, but I know that a 19" widescreen has
roughly the same vertical space of a 17" "standard" (what is that, 4:3
aspect ratio?).

My OPINION, based on experience, because I have deployed a lot of both
standard and widescreen monitors is this:

If you work with lots of big spreadsheets, or work with graphics
(particularly movies), then widescreen may be a good idea.

Otherwise, I don't see the value at this point in time. I'd rather
have a 19" standard monitor than a 19" widescreen (for work, anyway).
