As Most games Support 1024x768 and higher res of 1280x1024, this means the game will not allow you to Select the Latter (as the Screen does not support this).

Before I bought anything, I did some Quick Sums though:

1280x1024 (17/19") = 1310720 Pixels
1440x900 (19" Widescreen) = 1026000 Pixels
1280*1024 = 1310720
1440*900 = 1296000
Difference 14720 or 1%
So not so much - maybe a problem if you are big into gaming, but for us surfers, emailers Imers and video / photo editors the widescreen is the right shape.
