That seems like a pretty low resolution for a monitor...or is this supposed to be an HDTV? Also, I hate LCD makers trying to tell us that these new aspect ratios are for our viewing pleasure when in reality they are just cheaper to manufacture...
16:10 is the perfect ratio for a computer monitor IMO. 16:9 is good for movies, but not much else.
yeah, i don't understand this super-widescreen trend in computers. most things you do with computers are naturally vertical, like typing a paper. most web pages are designed to work with monitors 1024 pixels wide, and then stack everything vertically. Actually, if you have a monitor with at least 1024 vertical resolution (1280x1024 or 1680x1050) that can swivel, try turning your monitor vertical. it's actually very nice.
16:9 for computers is rediculous. maybe TV's should go 16:10.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”

16:10 is very close to the golden section, so it is perfect!
But I still wait for the day I can buy a 1600x1600 25-29 inch LCD for Mameming!
