well, catalyst sucks. this 24" monitor is beautiful though, i dont
understand why widescreens are becoming so popular when the high
majority of websites still cater to 800x600 or 1024x768, i just have
tons and tons of dead space to the left and right. anyways, i tried
pivot pro trial, and it worked like a charm. ati needs to improve
catalysts interface and usability significantly.

Widescreen is derived from the restricted view in a cinema above the heads
of the people sitting in front of you.
Some people think it art, as the director intended etc.. but I know it's
crap.

It is a waste of space literally!

Well it does also present a more realistic view as human
eyes' field of view is closer to widescreen than 4:3, but
the applications have to be there too.

Incorrect.
The humans field of vision, measured my the anglular ratio of the
horizontal and vertical fields is 4:3. (180/135).
Thats why it was used originally, it is the human field of vision.
Widescreen should be called limited height, thats all it is.

This is definately wrong... My field of view is much wider than a 4:3 ratio.

I think you will find that my figures of 180 and 135 are pretty accute.
Also the field of visioni without shifting the eyes is esentiall 1:1 ie
round.
A million miles away from widescreen.

We'll see...

Oh bullshit. You're ignoring the fact that we have two eyes.

Mindlessly silly, particularly with what matters in the field of view.

Completely off with the ****ing fairys now.

Nope, far wider if you have two eyes.

If they are focused on seperate points yes, I sometimes get that when I have
drunk so much my brain is unable to focus my eye on the same point.
Nice picture, but it ususally results in you throwing up!!
