    Don't recall the discussion, but I know that a 19" widescreen has
    roughly the same vertical space of a 17" "standard" (what is that, 4:3
    aspect ratio?).

    My OPINION, based on experience, because I have deployed a lot of both
    standard and widescreen monitors is this:

    If you work with lots of big spreadsheets, or work with graphics
    (particularly movies), then widescreen may be a good idea.

    Otherwise, I don't see the value at this point in time. I'd rather
    have a 19" standard monitor than a 19" widescreen (for work, anyway).
