16:9 Widescreen
I feel like turning my monitor through 90 degrees, can you do this with some monitors? Dunno, havent noticed that for many years now.

Pal & Widescreen
The games get stretched out to fill the widescreen. The aspect ratio wasnt the same as on a standard monitor but it didnt look bad to me just a little different.

Afraid your going to have to decide which one to go with, or get a projector with the same display ratio as your monitor. The other option is to set the card to "extend" and this results in having to manipulate the output onto the right hand side of the screen as "extend" is too wide for a "standard" desktop.

For anything with detail, you'll want 1080i... and a monitor that's actually up to that resolution. Most of the LCDs and many of the plasmas are just up to the Widescreen or standard, a 1080i picture is 6x larger than a DV picture. That is significant. That way, you have a wide image without adding file size.

This looks especially bad on a widescreen display. With a standard square display it's not as noticeable.
