Wide Screen Monitor question

I am considering a LCD wide screen monitor.  There is something that I don't understand.  Granted that the aspect ratio of a standard monitor is not the same as a wide screen.  
What changes occur in order to make the image show in wide screen?  What I mean is, does it lop off some of the top and bottom?  If not, where does tha image come from to fill in the sides? I am especially interested in, for instance what happens in the cockpit view.

A 2D panel will look stretched, all the rest will just give you a wider viewing angle.
