widescreen is better if you use it for watching films at all or playing games. It is also good in that you can have two pages open & at a usable size at once which can be good if you are rewriting something from fresh or following a tutorial for example.
Downside is that it takes up more space, will probably cost more& i seem to have an issue with some web pages having TINY writing (though that may just be me!).
In my opinion the pros far outweigh the cons. Do it.

4:3 screen = webpages look natural.
16:9 screen = some video files, dvds, etc look much better.
I have used both. Right now I am using a laptop with a 16:9 screen. My desktop has a 4:3 screen. The best thing to consider is the overall quality of the monitor and how it will be used.
Web browsing? Go for el cheapo.
Online gaming or movies? Go for the best widescreen possible.

Wide screens, in my humble opinion, distort images, or scrunch the screen, so that you're further away, to see the entire "wide" shot! I was watching a friends wide screen the other day, and Serena Williams was on, playing someone else (who wasn't as hot as her!) hey, we all have our tastes! and his widescreen made her look like an oompa loompa! Nope, I would go for a standard, unless it's a top of the line wide screen that has technology to overcome the image distortion.

A flat demonstrate is a usual CRT (television-form) visual demonstrate unit the place the front is flat truly of somewhat curved like previous form TVs. a great demonstrate visual demonstrate unit is almost a demonstrate at a movie theatre. the place this is lots wider (from left to genuine) than tall. extensive monitors could be the two CRTs or LCDs (very skinny monitors like on a working laptop or pc).

Widescreen (16:9) is way better, because more is visible on the screen

If you plan on watching HD movies, a wide screen LCD is better.
