Widescreen vs. standard

[hassen1]

Widescreen is becoming the norm against standard aspect ratio in notebooks, partially because a widescreen will effectively add a lot more reading space to a screen with a minimal amount of increase in size. More than that, widescreen is fairly logical for humans, since our eyes aren't jammed right next to each other.

If you're going to be a gamer, though, widescreen can become a problem. While many games will run at widescreen resolutions, many won't either. This is one of those things that really just befuddles me, as most gamer boutique notebooks are being made with widescreens these days.

However, if you're going to be watching (or editing) movies on your notebook, widescreen is the screen of choice.

Standard notebooks are becoming a true rarity on the market, and routinely only appear in the lower budget machines these days, barring ThinkPads where only one model exists (the new Z series) that does have widescreen

With a widescreen television, viewers can enjoy high-definition broadcasts and widescreen DVDs to their maximum.STANDARD (the picture is the regular 4:3 aspect ratio (square), and there are black or gray vertical bars on either side. This isn't a good mode, because i've heard that there is a possibility of the lines burning in on RPTV's. and what's the point of having a widescreen if you can't use the whole screen?)
