Can anybody with similar 19" monitor advise of how wide actually is the viewing area L to R.
My packed up old Fujitsu says on it 17", but the glass measures 12" L to R & 15" diagonally.
Is this sort good for fs9?

However my 17"

The actual size of a monitor? Thats easy top corner to botom corner (Diagonally) LCDs are always right on (usually .1 of an inch bigger than they state) CRTs are usually lesser....

EDIT: My 19 inch wide is roughly 19.5 inches diagnonal, though it IS a widescreen ;D

Eh what luke? I don't quite get what your saying. Anyways, Yes it does stretch the 2d panels but it makes them readable, with a tweak in FSX widescreen is actually better than the normal.... because you can see the entire panel where as in a normal monitor you need to zoom out.

My 19" widescreen monitor is just over 16" L to R. Hope this answers your question.

My apologies Gunny, was trying to be funny about all of a sudden everybody show their fotos, & thanks for the reasuarance on the streching part.
I think could get all the panel on my old monitors, but if I manage to get the flat one will be nice.
Thanks Hagar, 19 but get only 16, another of the usual fobs.
Have to spend a couple of thou on a 30" I guess to get 19".
OK james, by the time I afford it will drop a bit more.
