I would like you compare a 4:3 17inch to a 16:10 17 inch

Here's a good site to compare screen sizes and aspect ratios.

That's a GREAT visual aid. I'd give you a gold star, but my kids have 'em all over the house now...

When viewing a 4:3 source, a 17" 16:9 monitor has roughly the same image size as a 14" 4:3 monitor and will show vertical black bars on either side of the source.

When viewing a 16:9 source, a 17" 4:3 monitor has roughly the same image size as a 15.4" 16:9 monitor and will show horizontal black bars on top and bottom of the source.

But a 15.4" 16:9 monitor, viewing 4:3 source, only has roughly the same image size as a 12.9" 4:3 monitor. Gettin' down there.

Just some thoughts...

OK, I've made page where you can "visually" compare different display sizes with different source formats. Hope this will be helpfull tool.

Here is a new Acer Aspire 1700,



Looks like this isn't widescreen? And take a look on price tag!
Will be this beauty available on PCTorque?

It has just 1200×1024 resolution and integrated SIS graphics. I can't imagine who will need this?

Probably we will have to wait long for decent high performance large displays. 16" UXGA will rule for long time.
