Maybe it's generational
As noted earlier, I had to replace my desktop monitor last week. Old: 19", standard dimensions. New: 20", widescreen. Which means I lost three inches of screen height (from 12" to 9"), in exchange for a very wide image which might be great if I watched a lot of DVDs, but I don't. Instead, mostly I'm looking at Web pages that seem distorted. Is it the sideways thing that's throwing me? I fear I'm clinging to some vestigial relationship to 8½x11 dimensions. Hey there, GenXers and younger, do you prefer squarer/taller screens?
