it will play and you can stretch the resolution to fit your screen, but it will always render at 4:3 or 5:4 aspect ratios

cs 1.6 doesn't even support widescreen resolutions so I don't think it'll stretch over multiple screens

what about dishwashing/hand soap? is that bad for the monitor?

I like the monitor. disclaimer - I'm a fan of glossy screens the colors are good, nice and bright, and I got it for a good price, the adjustments available with the arm are great (height and rotation adjustments are great when I have several seating areas around my desk) I don't get the...

I'd say it's worth it. you can always run the game at a non-native resolution if you must until you upgrade. I'm running a 24" monitor on an Nvidea 7400 and I don't really care unless I'm running games, then I dock the resolution to something non-native. Doesn't look great, but doesn't matter...

for the same size (ie, 24") a 16:9 monitor will be shorter, yes, but also wider. so instead of black bars in the top/bottom, it extends it to the sides. basically increasing the usable space for 16:9 images

20-24" is small? lol, then what do I call my 13.3" screen? epic tiny? on that note, if it weren't for the price constraints of buying a 30" monitor and the hardware associated with running one, I'd totally be on it.

just so you know, that one just has a glossy cabinet, i'm not sure, but i don't think the screen itself is glossy

In that case, unless you watch a ton of movies, I'd get a 24" 16:10 monitor

we order primarily dell 2408s and 3007s for large display workstations. the 2408s we can get for a pretty decent price, scores below the retail price. If it's for a business, which it sounds like you are, you might want to inquire about their business pricing.

woot.com !! go now!!! *edit* nvm... item sold out LG W2600H-PF for 375 shipped might've been worth considering

That monitor has gotten great reviews. I'd do a little digging in this forum, though. a little while ago (I think last week) there was a user here who was looking for alternatives to it because he said he didn't like it and returned his.

What size monitor are you looking at? a 16:10 monitor of any size will permit you more vertical space, so if the web-pages you tend to visit are long, there will be less scrolling. If you're looking at a 24" monitor, then a 16:10 display is wide enough to hold two full size word documents...

True, there are many TN panel based monitors, including the HP w2408h and LG W2452T, however they are all have different characteristics.

So there are hp w2408h monitors with different packaging?
