Widescreen LCD vs. Standard, which to get?

after my widescreen... its so awkward to use a normal one now. widescreen gives u a lot more room.

i have been using a 17" CRT and i like it but i think i would rather have a widescreen because you can view 2 things at once like have IE on one side and word one the other when you need to type a report

that will require some dragging around the windows

might as well go dualview if you wanna do that.

for around half the price of 1 widescreen you can buy 2 19" crt's and do the same thing + more

Not really. You could just tile them vertically and if your screen is big enough then they would fit fine.

Hope that helps

uhm, I'm getting a $300 22" widescreen... where are these $150 19" LCD's that are actually good?
