Quote from flytiger:

They are not as popular as standard, therefore you get the same quality for less.

Then again, they are not as popular for a reason.

huh? widescreens cost more...

They are less, if you read the post or priced them.

:eek:

Don't forget a 20" widescreen has less screen space than a 20" fullscreen.

19" widescreens are roughly a 17" screen stretched horizontally.
22'"widescreens are roughly a 19" screen stretched horizontally.
oh, and 19" wides are cheaper then decent 19" standard LCD's

I use one LG standard 19" and one Samsung 22" widescreen. Side by side they match very nicely in height.

If I was going to run more then 2 I would go with one center 22" wide flanked by a standard 19" on each side. After that i would rather stack vertically because the width of you screen space would be huge. IMO
Oh and I recommend the LG-1953 very good quality and a slim bezel.
