My monitor's been having a real weird time of it lately, what with having hella problems displaying anything if it's just being turned on, as in the power light shutting itself off after a few seconds*, and also there are discolored areas that, while not burn-in themselves, are actually susceptible to image persistence in moderate contrast situations. Plus it's pretty ancient, it goes up to 1280x1024 basically. Basically it's about time I changed it.
I'm looking at taking the widescreen plunge on this, which is also way overdue. That said, the monitors in my price range are like 1600x900. I have like no experience with widescreen in any capacity and I'm kind of anal about vertical space so I was wondering-
Wait what the hell is my problem, I'd lose like 124 pixels of vertical space, what am I even worried about. Everyone's doing widescreen, it must be completely worth it. Never mind, guys. Sheesh. I guess I had to type it.
*: Once it's on it's fine for an indeterminate amount of time though, so I just don't shut down my computer anymore. Which is probably gonna be a problem.
