hearing alot of horor stories about wide screens. i have a budget of about 700 US and wanting a bigger monitor than what i have...viewsonic vx924 19 inch display. was looking at acer's 22 and 24 inch model and also dell's. i saw samsung with a 22 inch widescreen 225BW. i have crossfire so i'll have enough gpu for the size. is it worth it? thank you.
I dont have a big budget, but I wanna know the answer to the same question. Im gonna get a new 19" monitor, I use my computer for games, music and the all the normal stuff.
Should I go widescreen or 4:3 aspect ratio- will my new monitor look even smaller than my previous 17" 4:3, and be unsupported and stretched by half the games out there?
If you get a conventional 19", it will be the same as your 17" ... except bigger. They both have the same resolution.
Widescreen is all the rage today... it's like you've stuck a dagger in your eye if you don't have one. Sheesh! Personally, I don't like widescreen.
Both widescreen and 4:3, UXGA, are risks.... not all games play well in 16x12... not all video cards have enough grunt for it, either. Conventional 5:4, 19", isn't.
