Do you use a widescreen monitor?

This question has come up here lately, so here's a simple enough way to find out how many do and don't.

i would love to have a 22 widescreen but i am stuck at the moment with a 19 in tube monitor...the 1024 size to me looks better then being sized down, i just have to press the wheel on my mouse then move the mouse to see the whole shot.

widescreen

Most of the time I post my screenshots at 800 wide because I think most people dont have a wide screen. I like the viewers eyes to see the whole shot not a segmented one. I put alot of detail in my shots so I would prefer to post 1024 wide. Maybe most

I made the change recently after my old monitor gave up. Now I am running FSX at 1920x1200 resolution - and don't regret it.
