| Well then I think I'll get the Samsung 2253BW since it's got VERY good reviews on Newegg and is reasonably cheap. I have decided against 16:9 for a number of reasons, the main ones being that the higher resolution would be harder for my graphics card to drive and that it wouldn't look as big as a 16... |

So 21.5" 16:9 isn't really that much higher than my current 19" 16:10, it's just much wider...
Hmm. Not too sure. A 24" 16:9 would be ideal but I can't really afford that.
I'm also unsure of whether my 512mb 8800gt would be able to run newer games at 1920x1080... |

| Hmmm... There's really no advantages with the 16:9 though since its 21.5" compared to the 22" of the 16:10, so even if I'm watching 16:9 content on a 16:10 with black bars, its still the same size image as with a 16:9 right? And 16:10 seems more versatile since it would probably work better for web ... |

| Hmm right. Well I'm not sure. It would mean more scrolling on webpages wouldn't it? Since most of them are more verticle oriented... Well if I were go to go 16:9, which would you recommend? The BenQ mentioned in my first post or the Viewsonic? They are the only 22" 16:9ers available in my country. A... |

| Thanks for the responses! What drew me to them is that they are so cheap, much cheaper than 16:10 equivalents. My main worry is that the 16:9 ratio won't work well for internet browsing and desktop use since it would be really wide! The fact that its a TN panel shouldn't matter for me. From what I'v... |

Any got any experience with them? I'm talking about things like the Viewsonic VX2233WM and BenQ T2200HD/E2200HD.
How is the resolution for gaming? Is text easy to read? I'm thinking about either the Viewsonic or BenQ mentioned above. Any opinions?
Thanks! |
