you know I was a little unsure of it as well. I even thought it may "stretch" a little, but that isn't the case. It is like having my 2 old 19" CRTS, but on one screen. I am a big fan of the wide screen now.
Before you make the investment try to fine both LCDs to look at. I found some at Compusa, a couple traditional Veiwsonics and the Samsung 243. When I looked I went for the WS right of the bat, they where just so ........ big. Plus with the Samsung coming in at $1700. it made me feel alot better about my Dell purchase (~900).
