Actually, if you do the math (I did), a wide-screen display is actually smaller than a regular display of the same diagonal length. For example, a 17" wide-screen (16:10 aspect ratio) monitor has less display area than a 17" regular (4:3 or 5:4 aspect ratio) monitor. A 17" wide-screen monitor has roughly the same display area as a 16" regular monitor. And a 17" regular monitor has roughly the same display area as an 18" wide-screen monitor. By the way, I own both a wide-screen monitor (17" 1920x1200 16:10) and a regular monitor (20" 1600x1200 4:3).
