Maybe it's generational

As noted earlier, I had to replace my desktop monitor last week. Old: 19", standard dimensions. New: 20", widescreen. Which means I lost three inches of screen height (from 12" to 9"), in exchange for a very wide image which might be great if I watched a lot of DVDs, but I don't. Instead, mostly I'm looking at Web pages that seem distorted. Is it

I'm with you. (Age 39)

I haven't had occasion to use a widescreen computer monitor yet, but I definitely prefer squarer screens. IMO, widescreen is nice for movies shot in widescreen, and that's about it.
