Do You Prefer Wide Screen LCD or Normal LCD?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. sdas86 (2441)   ranked 54 out of 6,376 in computer 3 years ago

I just bought a LCD which is wide screen LCD. It looks nice but the wide screen design makes me feel weird and uncomfortable. Maybe I haven't get used to it. The wide screen design makes the stuff showing on the screen larger and wider. I need time to get use to it.

Do you prefer wide screen LCD or normal ones?

If I ever have the chance to have an LCD monitor, I will prefer and go into widescreen LCD.


myLot reputation of 96/100. sdas86 (2441)   ranked 54 out of 6,376 in computer  3 years ago

I am currently using widescreen LCD. I am not used to it. Maybe I need sometime to get used to it. lol

I prefer the normal right now. So many things aren't set up yet to view in wide screen so that makes a difference to me. But I like the wide screen for certain things. Not enough to make me buy it over the normal one though. I see what you are saying!


myLot reputation of 96/100. sdas86 (2441)   ranked 54 out of 6,376 in computer  3 years ago

Hi,
Normal screen is nice. Widescreen is better to watch movies. lol

i have one lcd monitor. i don't it that much yes cause it is in my other computer which is in the room. i am using the computer outside the room which is using crt monitor. i may try to exchange the two cause i use this computer outside the room.

but the lcd monitor i have is quite regular or small size only. i wanted to have a bigger one with better screen resolution and with more color so that i can appreciate my viewing of the websites more. cause i think my lcd is quite boring. though i don't know if there are some lcd that have great or better screen picture.


myLot reputation of 96/100. sdas86 (2441)   ranked 54 out of 6,376 in computer  3 years ago

Hi,
I like smaller size LCD such as 17 inche but it is not available in my area. The salesman said that 17 inch LCD is out of date. So, I have no choice but to get a larger one.lol

I think it would be okay if I had a wide screen LCD, even if things get to look too big but, actually they don't.

The display, let's say a movie, would still be the same as long as you don't make it consume the whole screen and in fact, even if it does, it would still be appropriate. I have seen a wide screen LCD used for playing games and the game actually is just being displayed on the middle of the screen and excess would be complimented with colors that go along the menu or the rest of the background.

You would get use to it later ona and, perhaps if you go back to normal sized screens, you would get an odd feeling of unfamiliarity, like me when I have used a mouse with a scroller for a long time and then suddenly going to a computer shop wherein you can rent PCs but, the mouse that I was able to use didn't have a scroll feature. I kept on moving my finger on the mouse as if I was scrolling even though there weren't anything to scroll (^_^")

Hi,
I am sure I will get used to it someday. For widescreen LCD, the screen seems to be very wide and some pictures I found on the Internet are skewed.lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. ratyz5 (3638)   ranked 695 out of 6,376 in computer  3 years ago

I guess you just have to adjust the setting of your monitor display so that the things that you see from either the internet or picture and videos would be proportion to their right sizes.

I have a normal size screen but I have seen so many cool looking wide-screen LCDs in the shops lately which really make me wish I had one!

At the moment though I can't afford one. I have never actually used a widescreen LCD before but I think they would be nicer to use, after all - you would have a lot more space on your screen!


myLot reputation of 96/100. sdas86 (2441)   ranked 54 out of 6,376 in computer  3 years ago

Hi,
I get attracted to those new LCD models with glossy panel. Those LCDs look nice but they are very expensive. I like Samsung LCDs but it is expensive, so I just get a cheaper one. happy


myLot reputation of 98/100. UK_Shree (1867)   ranked 201 out of 6,376 in computer  3 years ago

Yes most definitely expensive! The glossy ones do look really awesome don't they? Maybe one day...rolleyes

I find it more comfortable using the normal sized monitor, whether LCD or CRT, it doesn't matter. We have both types of monitors here in our office but I prefer the one I am using right now, CRT 17" monitor. Every time I use the wide screen monitors, I seem to get lost sometimes. I have to move my head sometimes, not only my eyes, to see everything, or to look for what I wanted to see.

Widescreen LCD makes some photos change in the shape but widescreen LCDs are good for watching movies. thumbup

I prefer LG brand and 19" Widescreen for my home computing use.


myLot reputation of 96/100. sdas86 (2441)   ranked 54 out of 6,376 in computer  3 years ago

That is a nice one. I am now using Acer 19" widescreen LCD. It is consider the cheapest LCD available in my local stores.lol


myLot reputation of 79/100. fren45 (660)   ranked 120 out of 6,376 in computer  3 years ago

but I heard the contrast ratio for acer LCD is really limited and is not suited to view movies .

Definitely, the normal one because whether which one you pick, still LCD screens... But what I really like to have now as my monitor, is the touch screen one... well, someday..


myLot reputation of 96/100. sdas86 (2441)   ranked 54 out of 6,376 in computer  3 years ago

Hi,
The touch screen LCDs are cool. I tried it when I was looking for LCD in computer shops.lol
