Widescreen or square?

Question

Which is more comfortable to look at for the net and typing and what size is too big for a work station.

Answer 1

19" 4X3 is probably more than most people need.

That's if you are using a normal desk / table and a wired keyboard. If you're going to a wireless keyboard, you might spend for something bigger.

The 4X3 screen ration has been the norm for a long time and most websites are set up that way. I doubt if web viewing will ever go to 16X9 so if wide screen costs substantially more and you're not intending to watch a lot of TV of DVDs on it, I'd stick with 4X3. If the cost differential is low or unimportant to you, get wide screen.

Answer 2

I have a 17" widesreen on my laptop, but I notice that some websites leave a large space on the right hand side of my screen, also i created my own website using this laptop, and iv had to change all page sizes in my editing due to others peoples pc, not having a good viewing experience, so it did make my website a bit more user friendly, hope that helps, its not negative comments, ist only constructive, so it rather depends on how you wish to use the internet and and how your going to use your pc.

Answer 3

19" Widescreen is ideal really, anything bigger and it's ridculous, anything smaller and you'll always be thinking, "I should've got the big one."

[Widescreen PC monitors are actually 16:10 ratio, not the standard 16:9 ratio that TVs use.]
