Other than that, it's a matter of what you like. I like vertical real estate on a monitor. I use a 1920 x 1200 monitor to get the extra lines of vertical output. I would not use a wide screen. Others who game like the wide format - it's similar to a side by side multi-monitor screen configuration without the need for a second monitor.

good luck.
