Hello,

I am purchasing a new dell 8400 pc and have purchased (Yesterday) the 20.1" Ultrasharp Widescreen (16:10) monitor(2005FPW).
My question is, as they have NOT yet begun to build my PC,... should I have bought the normal aspect ratio (4:3) 20.1" Ultrasharp monitor (2001FP)?

Normal use of PC: Digital Picture work & picture slideshows, email, internet, children's learning software, MS Office, Quicken, Ripping my CD collection.... then last DVD viewing (and now converting Hi-8 home movies to DVD)

Given that usage mix (pretty much in order).... which would you have recommended?
FYI... Here's a link to the user guide...
