Opinions on a monitor
I have an A3000 with a Cybervision 64 card. I would like to purchase a new monitor for it. Would you suggest a 4:3 or 16:9 for the Amiga? I have it sharing a screen now with my Mac Mini. It is a 27" 16:9 LCD and looks great. I'm just wondering if it would be better to run the 4:3 aspect the way it was designed or the widescreen monitor.

Naturally, a 4:3 screen is preferable.

Yes, 4:3 is always preferable... Though, for productivity things such as Workbench, it's possible to set up widescreen modes to match the monitor.

many widescreen monitors support Pillarboxing, stretching 4:3 -> 16:9 is ofcourse an abomination but pillarboxed it can be quite okay.
