When discussing about widescreen computer monitors, users have to be mentioned the meaning of a widescreen image so that they might get a better understanding of what these computer displays refer to. In this respect, it is considered that a widescreen image presents an aspect ratio higher than 12:9. Widescreen computer monitors usually present an aspect ratio of 16:10.

In this respect, users have to be mentioned some important aspects about normal mode, full mode and zoom mode, which are three of the possible widescreen display modes. Normal display mode refers to a frame of 4:3 video to 16: 9 picture type of area which is displayed in the original type of aspect ratio presented. Some users have considered this mode to present the following disadvantage: this small type of picture does not determine the use of the entire width of the computer screen.
