You'll only have issues with fullscreen 3D stuff, if the software/game
doesn't properly support the aspect ratio. Generally games would be
the only thing that would be trouble, but there's a solution:

Learn how to use "nvidia-settings" and you can get your GPU to scale
the resolution up to your monitor, while keeping the aspect ratio
correct.

Note, some LCDs have this support built in, and this is of varying
quality. Mine doesn't to aspect-locked scaling for instance, while my
friends does (but it looks like crap).
