Just wondering.

What monitors exist in wide screen?

I can't fit a 50" Plasma screen on my desk, and I don't have (and can't afford) a widescreen HDTV.

The only monitor that I know of is the sgi 1600sw. I have used that one and hated it. It's widescreen, but it's really just a stretched out 15" monitor. That means that to use it effectively top to bottom you have to squeeze down the resolution and then burn your eyes out trying to see it. Plus the Number 9 Rev IV card it requires is a piece of crap and if you want to use anything else it's a $500 adapter to make it work. -- wooo sorry about the rant.

So since there must have been some demand for widescreen, that means some of you must have some widescreen monitors. Help me out! I want to price them out, but I can't find them anywhere!!!!
