WIDE SCREEN MONITORS
I don't mind wide so long as the monitor is tall, too. But too
mmany damned monitors really emphasize wide, I suppose to
accommodate displaying movies.
But that means there is less room to display a page of copy you
might have written, or the full page on a book or magazine.
Oh well..
Huh?

Math illiteracy affects 8 out of every 5 people.
The vertical is compressed in favor of the horizontal.
Rotate the monitor. Any proper OS and monitor will recognize this
and
adjust.
Did that...works...pain in the ass flipping one way and then another.
Problem is these damned "letter box" monitors. :)
Right now, I am using the 21" monitor from my old PC desktop with my
Mac
laptop. I was amazed the video chips in the Mac would drive this
monitor
at its native 1600x1200 resolution, but it does and does it well. For
most apps that are not movies, though, the width on a Mac is
overkill.
I'm still fiddling, though, and will find a solution that suits me.
Think software development or circuit design where screen real estate
horizontally is king. 15 years ago my boss the Director of Ops chewed
me
out for buying 19" monitors for the developers. I gave her my 15"
monitor and asked her to go trade mine for anyones 19". No takers.-

The wide screen format is even more useless on TV. Twice as wide as
tall so nobody's head fit in the screen, much less full body shots or
decent scenes. Nobody sees like that, we see in about the shape of
conventional tv, it is just frekin' rediculous. I was watching the new
Miami Vice (btw sucks boring, over directed.. etc..) the other night
on wide screen format, you have to keep going back and fourth to see
scenery that is totally irrelevant to the story line anyway. That's
why those panoramic cameras never really took off, I've got one
sitting in a drawer, used it maybe once then realized it was stupid....
---------------------------------
If the programming is in 4:3 aspect ratio, why don't you watch it in
such?
I love widescreen but only for video content designed for it.

Poor JustHate!
I set my screen mode to 'Normal'
This allows me to view the 4:3 aspect programming with the two black
bars on
either side.
When I switch to HD programming, the video fills the screen and
everything
is in proportion.- Hide quoted text -

That's what he claims...but he could be full of crap.
I'm thinking his wife would have 'scalped' him by now...no more ponytail.

He has a ponytail?

Sheeeesh. He's a hillbilly.- Hide quoted text -

For real?



When we lived in Puerto Rico, off the Navy base, I kept my Honda 350 in the
living room.
Had to, if I wanted to keep it.

No offense to any Puerto Rican readers here, but the truth is the truth. I
came home from work one day to find a brand new backyard swingset that we
purchased for my then young daughter and cemented in the ground in someone
else's backyard, about 3 houses down from us.

You can't find one instance of me saying I got shoved "down the
stairs" of course, because you made it up. You are just another piece

Nope, heart-attack, a natural cause. Which is more than you will
recieve, some day, asswipe.
Hopefully, some truck driver will barrel down that secondary road you
live on, and crash right through that **** house of yours, killing you
while you sleep. Or maybe the rest of your ****ed family, while you're
out rowing one of your leaky boats. Or maybe while you're chopping
wood, and can see the whole thing.

Tick, tick, tick........douchebag.

Open minded conservative? Now there is a contradiction in terms.

So, you have a ponytail and a motorcycle in your kitchen. Is your
refrigerator on the front porch?- Hide quoted text -

You mean you were only shoved "on the stairs"? You were shoved...you said
so here.

He must have been more than simply 'shoved'.
He cried like a little schoolgirl...badmouthing every cop east of the
Mississippi.
What a sook!
