Widescreen Laptop Computers with todays softwares

So many people are getting into wide screen laptop computers and monitors, then they realize later that their images are stretched and distorted. Basically, there are two types of "graphic" software that deals with editing images. One of these is less expensive software which doesn't resize the image that you're working with, only the window that surrounds it. While the more expensive software, will resize whatever image you're dealing with relative to the size of the operating system that surrounds that image. Unfortuntely, most software makers are still wrapped around that 4:3 apec ratio that we started with back in '50's. Ok you can make an image bigger or smaller, but it's still wrapped around that 4:3 sizing. And by the way many people think that HD-high definition screens are those wide screen TV's, but that is not true. If your wide screen TV has a resolution of at least 1920 by 1080 - OK-you'll get the full monty. But people - when you put an OS meant for 4:3 on a wide screeen - of course it's going to stretch it out.

Problems With Widescreen Display Laptop Computers

The problems with these widescreen display laptop computers is that when you play a PC game which does not support this kind of resolution, there would be 2 black rectangulars indicating the extra space it has. But that is gradually solving, all of the new games on the market is starting to put widescreen resolutions as one of their available resolutions during game play. Another problem is thatthere are not many wallpapers which are available for this kind of widescreen resolution.

Why Widescreen Display Laptop Computers?

Should you go for the widescreen laptop computers? Are they the right way to go? Or should you stick to your original display (800 * 600, 1024 * 768 ... etc) instead of (1280 * 800)?

For me I think these widescreen display laptop computers should be the way to go, it allows you more space to do your stuff especially if you are doing some image editing, and that requires a huge amount of resolution size. There is an argument whereby you can increase your resolution to make it tinier so that you can have more space but then again, the problem with making the resolution tinier is that it might make it not visible to the human eye. I am fine with it, but what about people who are short sighted and have problems looking at such tiny objects on the screen? Widescreen display is the way for me to go, because there is so much flexibility in which I can use my programs, especially in programming, things are not so 'cramped' like in the 1024 * 768 resolution.
