20" is standard ratio, and 20.1" is widescreen ratio, I think. You can also get 20" widescreen monitors also though, but I would go on the other specs of the monitor rather than worrying about 2.5mm of difference.

Well its going to be a wide screen either size. My worry is, my family has a wide screen laptop, and it stretches all the images and makes them look all pixelated. I don't want that.

KewL, you shouldn't be getting that if you are running it at it's native resolution.

if you want widescreen go with 20.1 the quality is much better than 20.

Its his resolution. i remember on my 19inch im not running at the native resolution because my graphic card doesnt support its native resolution so it has some blurs in it but its nothing to be bothered about though.
