Because the 22" widescreen Samsung monitor produced such clean looking
images in the shop I bought one, ony to find out that it could not
produce a decent grey scale. A problem with these particular monitors is
that the panels themselves come from different factories, so quality is
likely to vary a lot. Traded it in for a widescreen Philips, better but
still far from perfect.
Another matter is whether widescreen is a good idea for non-landscape
photos.
