Yes - I think it was in a magazine I read (CPC?) that most of the big names are dropping 16:10 aspect monitors this year.
but I'm just a little worried about how noticeable those black bars are for people? If they are not too noticeable, then like you say, the extra space more than makes up for it. Anyone?
I'm seriously thinking about a 24" 1900x1200 monitor, but there are two questions I would like to ask relating to the 16:10 vs 16:9 debate:
1) If the long term future of computer monitors is 16:9, do you think that eventually game developers will stop offering 1900x1200 resolutions in games, and if so, how long before that would happen (roughly speaking of course)?
2) How much of an issue/noticeable do people find the letterboxing of 24" 1900x1200 monitors when watching 1080 movies?
Thanks
