I kept waiting to get an LCD monitor 'til I found a good PIVOT-To-PORTRAIT type I could afford. Finally got a 19" Dell FP1900.

But I've noticed that some go the other way and are W-I-D-E-screen.

So what is up?

I assume they are for DVD movies--but I've seen DVD on widescreen Tele's and the letterboxoing STILL shows on at least 50% of them.

Also.the central stuff seems more important than the end-zones in the Net.

So, what good are the wide screen jobs?
Opinions?
Facts?
Tales fum da Front ?

And can that Letterboxing be gotten rid of ?
