They never had a Sidebar. They had lots of menus, and ways to customize 
them to try to simplify things. And lots of users confused by customized 
menus, forgetting they had customized them and wondering where certain 
features had gone.

On the other hand, THAT sounds like the only thing you ever use is a
web browser.

I like it to have three shells side by side without covering each
other. I like it to easily fit a shell at the side of the browser
displying the docs without covering.

Well exactly. Given a widescreen you can stack stuff side by side.

I used virtual screens to reduce the number of on-screen windows at any 
one time to keep track of.

This - seeing it as an increase of horizontal space - only works if you
buy a display larger enough so that the height is identical to that of
the non-widescreen display. Otherwise, we're dealing with loss of
vertical space.

Since the normal 4:3 ratio is 1280x1024 and Full HD is 1920x1080,
there is an increase in vertical space.

I mean, of course, physical size... if the displays have a similar
width, there is a loss in vertical space. Even if, having the same
width, the resolution is necessarily higher and allows more detail, it
still doesn't allow using height to display as much as in the 4:3
display, unless your eyesight allows for it.

There are such things as large high-def LCD monitors, you know. And they 
aren’t even expensive.

Here <https://bitbucket.org/ldo17/screencalc/> is a simple Python script I 
published years ago, which lets you enter any combination of aspect ratio, 
pixel density (assumed uniform), viewing distance, diagonal, width (in 
pixels or distance), height (in pixels or distance), or total number of 
pixels, and it will compute the omitted parameters. (So long as you don’t 
overspecify, of course.)

Hmm, that could do with a man page ...

Yes, but the more you "scale up" high-resolution displays to account
for pixel density, the more physical eye-travel becomes an issue, which
is another annoying property of widescreen displays. If I look at one
of the 21" displays for my PC at $EMPLOYER head-on from a comfortable
viewing distance, the left & right edges are already at the borders of
my peripheral vision (the whole point of widescreen as a cinematic
aspect ratio, but *not* a useful property for a work display!) If I
scoot back so that the whole display is "center field," it's too small.
And if I got them to buy me a larger display...the edges would be back
in my peripheral vision again! (And if my eyes were worse, I'd have to
sit closer, and the problem would be further compounded.)

There's no really *good* solution for adapting widescreen displays to
productivity work. *nix is more flexible than Windows, at least (MS's
display scaling has never, ever worked properly,) but even a lot of X
software makes assumptions about DPI and doesn't adjust well when those
assumptions are violated. The whole thing is just *dumb,* a compromise
pushed on users for the convenience of manufacturers.

Depends on how you work.  A widescreen display is great if you want
to open two windows side by side (e.g. two file managers, cut and
paste between them).  Unfortunately, many people don't seem to
be able to handle this paradigm.  Too often I've seen people go
clickety-clickety-clickety down a directory tree in a file manager,
select a file and go "cut", then clickety-clickety-clickety back up
to the root and clickety-clickety-clickety down another path to the
desired destination.  Repeat for each file you want to deal with.
It makes me want to scream.

I tried running a program of mine on a hi-def monitor on a Windows
system.  M$ dealt with it by _lying_ about the screen characteristics.

Gosh, you make it sound like our eyes weren’t designed to look at an 
entire field of view. Do your eyes really have to physically travel from 
one side of the screen to the other? I normally leave mine inside my head, 
and use the rotation muscles that they come with to orient them in a range 
of directions.

	Those muscles like all others can tire. Mine tire with normal use and I 
have
only a 17 inch display. I use a lot of it and hit Ctlrl+ to enlarge the 
display fonts
and some images.  But then too I am 87 yoa but even younger people's eyes
can tire.  I would go to a larger display and tile windows displays on 
it then
shifting but I got swindled out of my savings recently and am 
economizing for
the next year or so.

It’s not the eyeball-moving muscles that get tired. They are working
essentially all the time (an appreciable part of each second, every
second) while you’re awake, and even a lot of the time while you’re
asleep.

The tiredness comes from trying to concentrate on a display that isn’t
set up for comfortable use. I would look into that if I were you:
posture, surroundings, brightness, contrast, sharpness, colour scheme
... all play their part.

More than once, I have come across ancient LCD monitors that had
particular trouble showing the colour red: any red text turned into an
illegible fuzzy blob. Not sure why red seemed particularly prone to
this ...

Sorry to hear about that. It seems to be a worldwide problem. Here the
banks are running concerted ad campaigns on TV, in malls etc to warn
customers about the kinds of things to watch out for. In some cases
the banks themselves have been shown, in rulings by our Banking
Ombudsman, to be at fault, and so had to reimburse the customers.

The fact that they're semi-constantly active does not mean that some
patterns don't tire them out more than usual. If you doubt this, I will
cordially invite you to spend five or ten minutes shifting your gaze
from the far left to the far right and back - no moving your head,
that'd be cheating.

An extreme example, granted, but sufficient to illustrate the point:
eye travel isn't free.

Why not moving your head? Those are muscles that can get tired, too.

Because the point was about eye-travel. Do try it - let me know how
long you can keep focusing hard-left and hard-right before your eyes
are screaming for mercy.

The point was about looking a large monitor. Why would anyone not turn 
their head if they had to?

And holding your head still for too long will tire your neck muscles, too. 
(Try it.)

Next up, curved monitors...

https://www.zetron.com/blog/public-safety-dispatch-centers-101-
terminology-systems/

You can see the corner of another monitor on the left, and there may be 
another one past it. Typically the one in front of them is the most used 
and the rest have special functions, but PSAPs do love their monitors. 
However curved monitors have gotten a lukewarm reception.

There's no law that says you have to continuously scan every square inch
of a monitor.  I'll do a bunch of work in a window on the left side of a
monitor, then shift my gaze to the window on the right side and do some
work there.  Or I'll look over at the second monitor beside it and do
some work there.  It's not often that I do the equivalent of watching
a tennis match.
