Judith,
Much depends on the program or site in question. For me, it primarily
added extra room on either side of my old monitor. Nearly all programs that
have a full screen setting will take advantage of the extra room. Within
your browser, not all sites will expand to fill the extra space.
If the height of the widescreen is the same as the height of your
current CRT, the screen should look the same, except for the extra space on
either side. If the LCD is taller, it will likely use a higher resolution
so that everything will appear a little smaller that what you're used to
seeing.
If you have the opportunity, always check out the model that interests
you at a store that has one hooked up to a running system. Call ahead and
see if the store will tell you if they have one on display.
Peace,
Gman
