general resolution question (with specs)

[Lunt]

I have a 20" nokia crt (sony guts).....1600x1200.....games still look great on it but it takes way too much space on my desk and weighs in at about 80 pounds.....I am looking for an lcd to replace it....the specs below are what I am questioning.....this widescreen 1680x1050...is this any good for gaming? does it stretch out the picture from a non-widescreen?
