Actually, in a properly coded 3D game, 16:9 gives you more screen real estate than 16:10. See here: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/wiki/index.php/FAQ

Now in a pixel perfect 2D environment (i.e. Windows desktop), then 16:10 would be better.

I am all for 16:9 as a standard for gaming!

...oh, and I am more excited for the new NEC PA271W than this Dell.
