I'm thinking about replacing my monitor with a 19" or 20" inch lcd and I'm kinda nervous about the problems I might have with old games like Fallout, Baldurs Gate, Diablo and old point and click adventure games. I have a laptop that I can run many of these games on so I expect similar results but what happens to the picture if I get a widescreen lcd? Would I just end up with black bars on the side? Thanks in advance for any replies.

It will most likely just stretch, and most new games support wide screen, and theres a website to make games support wide screen.
