I'm getting a new 24" monitor to replace my current 23" TV. It will act as my computer monitor and my TV monitor (long story) I was looking at available 24" monitors and i see 16:10 ratios (mainly the samsungs that i like) and 16:9 ratios (a dell version i liked). When i went to look up reviews on the monitors, i see people complaining about how you loose desktop real estate when you choose 16:9 (like 230,000 pixels or something like that) The last time i had a 24" monitor, i returned it for 2 reasons, a) money and b) it seemed like just too much space. But now i'm getting one.
So my question is, is the 16:9 vs the 16:10 ratio just up to personal preference, or does it really even matter? I will be using this to watch TV (HD, blu-ray, and an analog channel for a few months)
