Not sure I agree completely. For example, they're great for Excel. Very

Unless you're planning on watching movies on it there is no point in
having a widescreen monitor.

I am looking at a new computer. Just wondering about the monitor options.

Seven years old? Buy a new machine. I'm going to guess your video card
won't support it anyway so you'd need a new card, too.
