HDTV has ruined computer monitors. Manufactures now think that 1920x1080 is a good resolution to have when itn fact, it's not. We were having monitors going up in resolution. Then HDTV came along and most now stop at 1920x1080. My monitor is NOT widescreen. But is is a 19" monitor at 1600x1200. Which for the size is more pixels for the screen size them most 22-24 inch monitors. The problem is that to replace this monitor, I'd need to get one that is 1920x1200. They are not easy to find at a reasonable price.
