I do not think the large size of monitor in general may have any negative consequences.
The only problem I know is when you run any program not compatible with widescreen on a widescreen monitor and get the image stretched; in which case you may run it in window.
(I own a monitor that can toggle between 16:10 and 4:3 modes on its own by squeezing image to rectangular in the center; I've also heard some graphic card drivers allow to do that in their settings).

The size isn't really a relevant issue. The resolution can be.

I only recently upgraded the video driver in my notebook, and in between the last update and this one, they fixed whatever was causing the image of most AGS games to stretch on my widescreen monitor (they were all accepted resolutions, but didn't display with sidebars). So if you do get one and it stretches, try updating those.
