Hmmm, one above the other?  Might be interesting.

When I watch a 2:1 movie, I wish I had this monitor,  but when I had this monitor, whenever I watched a 16:9 movie, I'd want to die, because the side bezel are almost half the monitor..

I hate how they can't just make one aspect ratio standard. 


Also,, i'm not sure why people are drawn to these monitors when they can get a ghetto 42" Samsung for $500..  Resolution wise, the extra horizontal offers no real advantage, 1:1 scaling always give the clearest picture with the least ringing and aliasing. 

On top of that the regular TV panel would give you a larger image than this 29 inch.

This hurts to read.

That being said, this is a decent price for a good looking monitor. Anyone have any opinions on this monitor?

Call dell and have them modify the order if it hasn't shipped yet.
