I hate the movie industry.  Widescreens are good for one thing.  Movies.  For everything else they make no sense.  At work we jokingly call them short screens.  I'm a software geek and quite frankly, code is tall, not wide.  So are word documents.  Most web pages benefit from more vertical space, not horizontal space.

So, the TV/movie industry did one hell of a job killing off 4:3 monitors and it totally sucks.  4:3 monitors serve a HUGE utility to those that do task that require a tall screen as opposed to a short screen.  I think if someone made 4:3 monitors, they would take 10% of the LCD market.

Why don't you just flip your monitor vertically? Sorry if I'm missing something obvious.

sorry i errored in my OP, the cab was 26 not 27

i measured 26, that's how wide the glass was... when i opened up the machine and removed the monitor it ended up being 24.5 because of the way the cabinet was built.

like i says measure measure measure, then measure again.

the monitor is a viewsonic VA2702W. price was $299 where i got it from. the monitor itself  was 25.5 inches, so to make it fit i had to router out a bunch of material from either side of the cabinet to make it fit.
