Hi,
Was planning to upgrade my 17 LCD to a 21, problem is it's impossible
to find 4:3 aspect monitors anymore (at least for a reasonable price).
So the other option is to buy a widescreen (16:9) 21 and use it in 90-
degree rotated portrait mode... more lines of code/search results on one

With wide-screen monitors, I end up wasting a lot of screen space even

Reading wide displays is surely more difficult that reading shorter
