More Information

Luminance 250 cd/m2

I have just purchased a new machine, arriving any day for me to build. New machine spec
Intel Core duo 2 E6700, EVGA nForce 680i, XFX 8800GTS 640mb, OCZ 2GB DDR2 1100 CL5.0 DUAL CHANNEL GOLD XTC, 320GB SATAII disk drive, dvd drive and a cooling fan Fatal1ty FS-C77.

Really want a monitor to match but not sure what which. I've searched and really can't decide. I've had my current tft 3 years and am looking for similar life span in the new one.

Gaming will be done. FPS's and RTS's. Also watch movies too. Not sure if widescreen is what I want or just a normal so wouldn't mind a recommendation of either and if you prefer WS or not.

Min size 19" or max 22" widescreen. Budget £300 max.

Once again members of tomshardware I seek your advice. :)
