I switched from widescreen back to standard, and I can't say I miss widescreen. I just like having a more "square" display.

Anyway, very nice monitor . I have the 19" 932BF, which looks to be the same general design.

Chalk up another person who still prefers the square monitors, although if I were considering widescreen..... a 22" samsung would certainly be a great place to start!!!

does your video card have two outputs, because nothing beats dual monitors - except tri-monitor - which is what I have.
