I want to get a new monitor, but im not sure weather to get a 4:3 or a widescreen?
How do games look on a widescreen monitor?
I hate how widescreen streches the image.
I thinkin about gettin this one

similar to the one you’re looking at, and I can sell it for $370… less than what you’d pay after shipping.
To answer the question on the looks in games… I like widescreen better. It has custom resolutions, that make it so it doesnt stretch you picture, but makes you view broader… panoramic style.
Acer AL2016W. Silver. 1680x1050. 600:1. 8ms.

Shop local.
I was going to buy a 20" but have decided to save up and go for a 23" Most of these monitors you guys have just posted are all vga YUK! HUGE HUGE difference between vga & dvi. Well worth the money to spend it on a dvi monitor.
The Benq has DVI
Read some reviews. I’m pretty sure most LCDs this day and age are pretty awesome though. I have the same Samsung 173T that I bought I guess 3 years ago now. My mother got a Benq last year and it’s pretty nice too. Try to find a review on the one you’re looking at though, it might push you to a similar model or something. I havn’t played games on a widescreen myself… I’ve heard you see MORE, but the tops are probably just cut off… Maybe newer games are 16:9 compliant, I dunno.
8ms is half what mine is though, so games should look awesome in that sence.
Just snooping around… It sounds like the BENQ is an excellent gaming monitor, but suffers a little in color accuracy and contrast fades towards the corners… something that is common with most of these larger LCDs.
I would look into the LG if it were me buying the display.

LG L203WTX
It’s got a 1400:1 contrast ratio and the “Industry’s FIRST Picture-Quality Enhancement Chip”. Might be interesting to read some reviews, but i can’t find any. This thing is a new model. I don’t know what the X in the model number signifies. Although the LGE site doesn’t specify, some forums indicate that this display is HDCP compliant, which the BENQ is NOT.
