Group Testing Widescreen LCD Monitors
An anonymous reader writes "If you're in the market for a new widescreen display, there's a group test of five models at the Bit-Tech site. The test focuses on real world gaming and DVD watching rather than artificial spec tests, and there's also discussion of design, ergonomics etc. An interesting read for those making the jump to wide." From the article: "Let's define the point of this test. We're going to make the assumption that you've got a half-decent graphics card, and you're looking for a new flat panel to connect to it. You want to watch movies on DVD and in hi-def (either as Apple trailers or via BitTorrent) and you want to play the latest games. The price range we're looking at is the £300-£400 range. Above that, you start to get into the territory of 24" screens from companies like Dell and Samsung. Below that, you're going into a range occupied mostly by 19" displays at 1280x1024."

Didn't you know that Great Britain and America make up 97% of the civilized world...(and 70% of the uncivilized world)
Everybody knows that widescreen monitors are primarily used for viewing pornography anyway. This is about as newsworthy as a new brand of warming lubricating pleasure gel.
Yes, I failed Introductory Calculus, I couldn't intergrate with the class.

I've got a pair of widescreens, and I've got the dignity to not need to post as an AC. Widescreens are better suited to your eyes, and it's not just coincidence that the viewable area is roughly a golden rectangle.
How are sites slashdotted when nobody reads TFAs?
Maybe the story should have started with "If you live in Britain and...". If you're an American this article is worthless to you.
But to some it was worth the 2 seconds of Schadenfreude from reading your post.
