I just bought a Samsung 23" LED monitor to replace my old 19" non-widescreen and I don't know if like going to widescreen or not. It just seems that the screen is too big and that my eyes seem to want to dart all other the place. I understand that most 2D panels will stretched in widescreen unless specifically made for it, but the outside of the plane looks great. But I'm really having trouble getting used to the larger and wider screen. I've only had the new monitor for two days and I have two weeks to return it. A couple of people have told me that it will take me some time to get used to the new screen and that I'll never want to go back to a square monitor. I'm hoping that is the case with me. But has anyone here ever gone to widescreen and ended up regretting it later and returned back to a smaller square monitor?Many thanks for any and all replies.

Don't forget to do this.  It will make a big difference. jja

I run FSX on a 42" and a 27". The VIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWW couldn't be any better!!

I hate widescreen monitors for fs use. I have a 19in 5:4 ratio LCD as my main setup. The only thing I use a wide screen for is charts and sectionals on my other slower PC.I never liked users' screenshots of wide screen virtual cockpits - think it looks unrealistic.

Too big? No such thing! All I can say is that I sure do not regret this 40 inch LCD with TrackIR. The only other thing that could be more realistic is one with real wings and a propeller on it.Kind regards,

Wow, those guys with the wide-screens REALLY have some jaw-dropping setups! As for me, I just got my first wide-screen PC monitor. It is a Samsung 24" and I love it. The resolution is much sharper because it is HD at 1920x1080 pixels and this makes reading text and everything else much sharper. The panels do look "longer" but not stretched, as long as (I assume) one edits the FSX.cfg file as stated with the change "WIDEVIEWASPECT=TRUE"
