Wait and get an OLED monitor. They are only a few millimeters thick.

I'm not sure how timely this may be, but I've had a number of Samsung monitors in both 4:3 and 16:10 formats.
They have always worked beautifully, and the oldest is about three years old and no dead pixels.
Of course the later ones, the 19" and 22" wide screens do have a problem: When I play Civ3/4 or Alpha Centauri on them, everything is stretched sideways. Curiously, when I play Civ2 on the wide screens, the game adjusts and displays most of the planet on the 22" screen. Why can't Civ3/4 or AC do this?
I was thinking of hacking the code in Civ2 but when I discussed this with a legal eagle friend he said that he wouldn't even try to defend the copyright infringement case that this sort of thing could produce.
So while I recommend Samsung monitors, I would recommend playing Civ3/4 or AC in a windowed environment.Comment

It's way better to have two short columns of code than one tall column.Originally posted by VetLegion
I'm thinking about getting one of those really wide ones and the putting it on its side so that it is tall, not wide.
That way when I program I could keep enourmous amounts of code in my view. I don't know if graphics cards support this though.Comment

Uh, Civ4 does support widescreen resolutions.
