They just look... skinny. I'm sure it's just me being used to 16:10 now though. With widescreen monitors, I already consider vertical real estate to be far more precious than horizontal, and that's why 16:9 makes me cringe.Also, While there are other ratios out there, 16:9 and 16:10 seem to be some of the most common. Honestly I don't see a problem with going 16:10 (or really, pretty much any res so long as it fits your monitor). I've never had an issue with fullscreen content like videos or games, and I've never seen a video that didn't scale well to any particular monitor, nor a modern video game that didn't support more resolutions than I knew existed.

That was after the 1600x1200 display died. Unless I'm forced to go with a touch screen as an update, I figure my next one will be 2560x1600. I’m at 1920×1200 currently.
