This is very confusing. My 17-inch regular monitor sits beside the 20-inch widescreen monitor with both in the correct resolution and with absolutely no sign of any stretching or compressing of images on either screen. Perhaps it is down to the video card you use. Mine allows both to operate as they should, with independent control of the resolution on each monitor. That is why I recommend this arrangement. Two widescreen monitors would eat a lot of desk space. This way I have the advantage of what is effectively a three-pane arrangement, with the widescreen monitor showing two documents side by side and the 17-inch monitor adding another document. Nothing is distorted on either screen. And given that the resolutions are within a gnat's crotchet of each other, both are about 27-mm high they line up very nicely.
