I am choosing a replacement laptop and I am trying to decide on a screen size. Generally on laptops, the larger screensizes are widescreen aspect (16:10), because well, no one wants to carry around a 17x14" laptop. Widescreen is pretty nice, especially for playing DVD's, but naturally with a widescreen there are non-"standard" resolutions. I have heard that when choosing standard screen resolutions like 1280x1024, the screen looks stretched out horizontally.
Now, the only real reason to own a computer is to play Diablo 1 and it's affiliates (he he), so my question is: how do the widescreens affect the look of gaming? A larger screen would be nice, but not at the expense of odd-looking games (and I am really not a fan of non-uniform stretching to begin with)
