Widescreen or Not?

This widescreen format is bugging me. I don't log in unless I want to post something so I have to constantly go to the bottom and change to widescreen. Of the dozen or so sites I visit everyday, only about 1 other site has their website formatted like this one. I realize Polk has probably upgraded their office monitors to 19 or 21" so internally this suits them best. This forum is probably a pretty good representation or match to their daily non-forum traffic so if there is a consensus here positive or negative then this might be good information for Polk to use to determine if they jumped the gun or not.

Just wondering what everyone else thinks.

    :confused: Default mode leaves wide margins on the sides of my screen, so I use widescreen.

    :D my screen is 1712x980
    Win7 Media Center -> Onkyo TXSR702 -> Polk Rti70

    Default mode sucked. Widescreen works for me.

    Widescreen is great for people runnin 1024x768 and up, I believe. I run 1280x1024 at home and work...

    My solution to your problem is to just log in and leave it logged in.
    Ludicrous gibs!

    Do what I did.
    Go to polk and one last time click on widescreen on the bottom.
    Once it changes to widescreen, set a book mark.
    From then on, everytime you click on your polk bookmark it automatically comes up widescreen whether you're logged in or not.

    Good idea but I lose the widescreen format when I jump around within the forum maybe because I keep my cookies turned off.

    Holy crap, I never knew it existed! With 1920x1200 it was pretty silly.

    Just trying to teach the youngsters that you can answer some of your own questions with the search feature:D

    seriously though, mine kept switching back from WS to Default. It was driving me nuts.
