Why are people wanting to waist so much screen "real estate" when most websites are still not using the full "wide" of it?
I don't think it was particularly for browsing, at least not at first. A great feature with widescreen monitors is being able to view 2 pages side-by-side in word (if only I could get open-office to do the same). And as a developer, I love a widescreen monitor; as good for coding as dual monitors, without taking up so much desk space. But that wouldn't stop me having dual-widescreen though
