How many people have one? I do, and it causes wacky things to happen to people's layouts. In fact, the Mood List has a space the size of a fist between it and the text box used to post. My old ways of determining how long my post is no longer work, either--I can type a lot, but it's all on one line for me!

I simply prefer old 4:3 simply for the sake of familiarity.

I prefer 4:3 for computer screens, widescreen is a little bit too wide for my liking. I do prefer widescreen TVs though.

I want to use a 16:9 HDTV for my monitor, but those are expensive. Right now I've got two screens at 1280x1024, which is 4:3. I don't generally stretch windows across both, as they're fairly far apart and one is a shitty CRT that's hard to read.

Well, yeah, that's what I'm using, and it cost $470 or so. It's pretty awesome, though. But somehow, I still manage to overload my mIRC's tabs! >.<

A $470 HDTV? Do give details. I should have clarified that mine would need at least 1080p.

Recently got a 17" wide screen LCD monitor for my Linux box. It was pratically a steal; it was normally $160, but because it was the display model of an out-of-stock and out-of-production model with no box or manual, I was able to buy it for $100.

I uh, honestly don't know my monitor's size or have anything to measure it with.

I'll just assume it's not widescreen.

This seems to be able to to 1080i, unsure on 1080p, however the manual never mentions it...


Samsung 19" Flat-Panel LCD HDTV - $479.99

It does the job for me, heh.

Why the hell would it need to be 1080p when most broadcasts these days don't even jump the 720p/1080i mark? :\

I'm sure there's a model just up from this one which can do that, and more--I had to fool around with it to get it to work as a monitor anyway, heh.

Here's mine.

I wasn't really planning on getting a widescreen LCD, but this one was on sale for $300 at Costco (a true steal at the time), so I couldn't pass it up.

(and now I see that it isn't the top of the line anymore... )

I have a 20" iMac running 1680 x 1050. Layouts don't screw up for me unless they're coded badly. Besides, the idea of a widescreen monitor is that you can multitask with the rest of the screen - my browser window never takes up more than half of the available real-estate

I have my screen layout arranged in a very space-(in)efficient manner; windows tend to overlap and can be buried, but it's always a click away (or some alt-tabbing)...

A lot of my screen is delgiated into some areas; top left, browser; bottom left; IRC; top right, junk; bottom right, IM windows.

Variousother things take up random residence on my screen and get thrown about without care
