for gaming widescreen vs stardard lcd?

[bluecula]

I am looking to get 19 lcd monitor for gaming and was wondering which would fit the bill the widescreen lcd or stardard 4:3 lcd monitor?

It's VERY subjective, however, most that try a good widescreen, don't go back to standard 4:3, at least for games. Widescreen is nice for documents two, 2 of them open side by side.

Try one at a local store before you buy. FWIW, I have two 19" widescreen LCD's, a 21" widescreen LCD, and a 51 inch widescreen TV....I hate standard 4:3 now....ugggg

Most do, many do with a small hack..........you always have an option of playing with bars on the sides if need be instead of scaling....

Once you go widescreen, you won't go back. Its definately worth it.

what i would do is look at the games you play and the future games that will be coming out. see which ones support widescreen. i pretty much only play bf2 and bf2142 and they do not support widescreen so i am delaying my puchase of a ws.

I would imagine by the end of the year,all pc games will have native ws support out of the box.I would never go back to 4:3 after gaming on my 2005FPW.I hate playing on a 4:3 now...
