Dual Screens with Widescreen monitors?
- by nmuntz
I want to build a new computer and purchase new monitor(s).
At my old job I had two 20" 4:3 and I absolutely loved this setup.
However, the stores in my country only seem to have widescreen monitors nowadays, and the only 4:3 LCDs i have been able to find are 17".
My question is: Do widescreens suck for using them as dual monitors? Can anyone with this setup comment on their experience with having multiple widescreen monitors?
Would it be better to get three 17" 4:3 LCDs instead of two widescreens?
If i go with widescreens, should i go with the smallest ones i can find?
Purchasing a single big widescreen monitor is not an option for me, since being able to maximize an app on a specific area of the screen is a must have for me and im not willing to use "hacky" apps for this purpose that do a crappy job.
Thanks in advance for your advise.
