....about many of today's computers...
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.. |

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. |
