Widescreen monitors are awesome as an alternative to dual-screen 
monitors. I liked the idea of being able to compare stuff side-by-side 
with dual screens, but never liked the implementation. Too much fussing 
around and an ugly gap in the middle.

As for vertical space, I just made sure the monitor I bought had as much 
or more than the old one it replaced.
