I did not find much here on a search so maybe a direct question would help me better. I have been looking for a new monitor lately and searching the internet all I really see is hundreds of choices for LCD widescreen versions.
I tried one of the cheaper Acer versions and yes it was very thin and indeed flat but the widescreen just looks odd to me. It seems as if it stretches the images and I have also noticed that I really do not like very widescreen angles on home TVs either. Maybe it is just me but I would rather have a thin screen monitor with just a plain old square screen. It seems I see much more of the image when comparing this new widescreen version to my old Dell monitor (E771A).
So can anyone tell me what I should search for as I have tried "regular screen monitors" and everything else in between. Is everything offered these days simply a widescreen version? 200 dollars is about good for me as I am simply trying to upgrade to a better (bigger) monitor without the widescreen option. I do like the thinner monitors offered now as this old Dell monitor looks like a microwave on my desk....it is huge.
