No kidding? Last time I looked through the Best Buy web site, the computer monitors were almost all 16:10. That's great new, John. I'm a little more confident now that my new PC under the Chrismas tree, and still wrapped until Christmas, will indeed have a 1366 X 768 setting in its graphics card. Like the Dell guys claimed when I ordered it.
Graphics cards can scale almost anything to fill a display. The limiting factor is the actual screen resolution and aspect ratio. I doubt you would be able to tell the difference between 1366 x 768 scaled to 1920 x 1080 or 1920 x 1200.
