That sounds reasonable. Still I find it better to view proportionable screens than wide screens. This is just my preference. It is similar to viewing a painting for me. My visual sense does not suffer when I have to look up and down as well as side to side. Whether it is anatomically easier on the head or eyes I do not know. I guess I would need to be a physician or opthamologist to really know that.
