The only time I like wide screen is for movies and gaming...

but nowaday you actually have to pay a premium to get non widescreen format display.
Excel is WAY better with widescreen ... First of all, you get more visuals in the ribbon, which makes your workflow easier. Comparing worksheets side-by-side is easier. You have more cells to work with. WTF is the problem ? I use Excel every day and, when I went to a widescreen monitor, it was a frickin' godsend.

Photo editing ... So your photos aren't widescreen ? What's your point ? Guess what, that means you can have tool bars down the side, which means you can your work done quicker instead of going through menus all the damn time.

I don't know about you, but I actually like to get my work done quickly so I can spend my free time playing games. A widescreen monitor benefits both.
