Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)
I'm looking to buy a new laptop, and was in the store looking at the various
offerings. Next to me I heard the sales person telling a customer to avoid
the widescreen Toshiba models, because the way they acheive the widescreen
is by stretching everything into shape. For example a circle would appear
distorted. He specifically said they are no good for photo editing.
Is this statement about stretching true?, I would have thought the extra
screen space, would just allow you to spread out more on the desktop?
Many thanks
