Dont forget the dimension is corner to corner so if you take a 19" widescreen and compare it with a 19" 4:3 the 4:3 will show a taller image.
But if you get the right type of stand then you can swivel the 19in WS and have a long thin paper shaped monitor.

I prefer the WS as you can have two things side by side on the screen more easily, a chat window and an IE window, or a spreadsheet and a word doc.

I do find that IE is never maximised as reading full screen width is difficult.
