I was told widescreen is the way to go these days..its better for games aparently. You get more of a view is what I was told. I was just wondering what the pros and cons are to as opposed to a normal square LCD.
Also, how does this one look?

Just take note that a 19" widescreen is smaller than the regular 19" screen
Really... Can you tell me. Say I knew nothing about these things (which I almost dont) Why should I pick a widescreen over a regular screen, or vise versa?
Well... The first thing that comes to mind is for widescreen movie playback.
price does not look too good to me

The only con would be if the game you plan on playing supports widescreen and if you video card is fairly new it should as well.
Alright..I didnt relize BF2 dosnt support widescreen. Whats a good 19 inch LCD then? For games and such.
just dl the crack to force widescreen. i don't have the url for such a crack, but i know it exist. i'll be looking for lots of these once i get mine set up. especially for diablo 2. i wanna play that in ws to check it out. then guild wars. css already has ws built in.Quote:

I suggest you look at games being played on a widescreen before making a purchase.
less tall but it's wider.Quote:

Yes. But a rectangle measured diagonally ends up being a smaller surface area than a square. So the fact that a widescreen monitor is a wider rectangle than a regular 4x3 screen format means that the widescreen ends up having a smaller surface area.Quote:

It all comes down to mathematics (geometry).
