You're missing the fact that a 22" "wide screen" monitor displays
things only slightly larger than a 17" monitor that has the regular
4:3 ratio.
"Wide screen" is a joke unless you like to watch wide screen movies
on your computer; otherwise, the benefit is to the manufacturers'
profits.
And you're missing the fact that it's 1680 wide, with is about 656
pixels of are you can put other things on the screen without covering
them.
Not everyone runs apps FULL SCREEN, so you could have your email
client open and your Usenet client or web browser open at the SAME
time and not have one blocked, or at least have both mostly fully
visible.
Many people that don't run apps full screen find they get a lot more
work done by placing apps where they can see them both.
Mine are never full screen. If one is "too covered" to click it active I
just Alt Tab.
I can see the usefulness of having more width available when multi-tasking.
My only beef is because the way monitors are measured - diagonally - leads
people to think that "upgrading" from, for example, a 17" 4:3 ratio monitor
to a 22" 16:9 one is going to get them a nice big image.
