Looking to upgrade my 7 year old Dell. Are there any good reasons to go
with a wide screen monitor other than a little more data on the screen?

For me the 24" monitor change my computing experience quite a bit. I
can use it in portrait mode to see whole web pages without scrolling.
I have it in a dual monitor set up with the 20" monitor from Dell
which I am disappointed with -- it doesn't get nearly as brite as the
24".

A friend is borrowing my Dell 17" monitor. When he returns it I will
have a 3rd monitor because I have two video cards. It was hard to set
that all up, and I had to download the driver from Dell's web site, do
a reinstall, and reboot and it fixed the problem.

The 24" in any dual monitor configuration is great. The monitors are
not that expensive either.

If someone wants the 20" one at a good price please let me know.
