I don't like widescreen displays either (except on laptops), but I think we have to accept that we're going to be stuck with them. I also like CRT much better than LCD - I personally use a 4:3 CRT for all graphics work
i recently got my first widescreen monitor and i'll be honest, i am enjoying it! but i'm thinking ideally i'd like to use both this big monster 16:9 thing and my CRT together... best of both worlds and that.
so yeah as you would expect i was thinking about this recently, i started my game in 4:3 and now i cant full screen it without it stretching, should i go through and make it work in 16:9? if i do then what about the 4:3 masses? i havnt worked out how to (if its possible) make it work in both.
I didn't have a widescreen monitor until I got this laptop, but otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. The reason is that not all klikers have widescreen monitors and it's a deal-breaker if you make your game to a size that doesn't fit a user's monitor. As long as there's at least a slim chance that someone won't have a 16:9 monitor, we have to play to the "lowest common denominator".
I personally prefer my widescreen because I like a panoramic picture much better. This is just me though. If a picture is 4:3, I have my monitor set to not stretch it, so I'm good either way. Plus my ZuneHD and Droid are both widescreen so it's nice to have consistency across the board.

But I generally don't like widescreen for most purposes.
