Aren't there advantages in using a 16 monitor compared to a 16:10?

1280x800 is 16:10, not 5:4.. 1280x1024 is 5:4.

Personally I prefer 16:10, it has more screen area and fullscreen 4:3 videos look better. I think it's mostly personal preference.

good sir, you appear to be somewhat lacking in intelligence. please refrain from posting until this is remedied, since it renders your opinions slightly less than correct and has a tendency to irritate more informed forum-goers

16 gets a slight viewing area advantage in Starcraft II.

I prefer 16:10 but you get more viewing space under 16:9 for sc2 which is odd because it's usually the other way around.

After a while of having a widescreen monitor, I couldn't imagine anything but 16:10. Everything just seems.....odd compared to that.
Seriously?

1920 x 1080 on a 24" LG.

I haven't played on any other resolutions.. does widescreen/non-widescreen change the total viewable terrain, or do things just looked squished in non-widescreen action?

Could you play on 800x600? I thought the min was 1024x768
We were all raised on televion that made us believe we'd all be Millionairs, Movie gods, and Rockstars..... But we won't.... We are slowly learning that fact. And we are very, very pissed off.

SC2 is optimized for 16-9. You see more horizontally than any other res. You also see the same vertically as any other. 16:10 is very close, so no worries. 4:3 and, god-forbid, 5:4 users are hurting a bit. If you have a 1280x1024 LCD and want the widescreen advantage try to figure out a way to letterbox your display so you can do 1280x720 or 1280x800.

Why is it called 16:10 anyways, logic dictates that it would be 8:5 seeing as you go for the lowest common denominator, but I digress. 16 here, I´m as standard as you could get.
