On a widescreen, your eye has to travel farther to bounce back and forth between those two, and since the distance it higher, shouldn't it in theory be more difficult to watch all 3 at once by peripheral vision? I find I spend too much time looking at the main screen so I'm considering running in a window to test how it is in 4:3 | ||
