Widescreen or a conventional monitor?

[unknow user]

I've been wondering for a while now, what are most people getting? Widescreen or conventional sized monitors? What are the benefits between the two? And why would you (the reader) would get one?

Right now, I would definetly consider getting a widescreen monitor. Almost all games support WS now, and of course movies are widescreen.

I would get 4:3 until everything supports widescreen because whats the point of putting out good pictures onto a monitor that just distorts it?

widescreen all the way, i love mine and would never go back to a conventional monitor

widescreen sucks when you have a game that you love but it doesn't support widescreen so you're left with this crazy blur on the edges of your screen or the whole picture is slightly blurry...might not sound like much but it bugs the hell out of me

Conventional CRT is the way to go.

Widescreen

For me because of the progs that i use and i dont game. depends on what you want it for and at the min im using a CRT! nothing better either!

I think 4:3 is going to be outdated quite soon, and no, the widescreen will never distort pictures if u want, they wil in worst case leave edges blank. i hav been using widescreen for two yrs now and i can't even think of working with those 4:3 monitors they look too old fashioned....

By definition, skewing an image will distort it to a certain degree.
