I'm not saying that 1920*1200 isn't wonderful but you are saying that widescreen is giving you more when it is not. YOU are seeing more because you have upped the size and resolution. Of course 1920x1200 will give you more than the other resolutions you quoted, it is simply a higher resolution.I am not wrong, what you see as widescreen and having more screen space at the sides, I see as a 4:3 screen with the top cut off, loosing space from the vertical. As said, that exact same width of monitor on your desk in a 4:3 ratio would give you a 1920x1440 resolution, i.e. 240 pixels MORE in the vertical.

There is no distortion with 2d views either. if you know how to adjust it.
