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 ...

[quote]1680x1050 would be less demanding wouldn't it? I don't see myself upgrading GPU any time soon. I really think the 16:10 would be a better option for me. I could probably also get a better quality screen if I went 16:10, like a Samsung or something.Yeah, a lot less demanding, and look better ...

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 ...

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 ...

Here's one that's highly regarded if you want to consider a 16:10:

...and here's a pretty good 16:9 not on your list:

The ASUS isn't available in New Zealand ...

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 ...

66 views and no replies? Come on!

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!

Anyone interested in making a WSGF Guild wars: Nightfall guild?

Sorry, quit the guild. Some guy was running a guild with 40+ members that did GVG every day, and had the same name as my character!!!!

Anyway, im LVL 10, and have just discovered those wonderfull party missions. Problem is, I dont really know what i should put my attribute points on. I am a ...

[quote][quote]Prophecies is the first one, Factions is the 2nd. They add special things, like new classes, to the expansions.

Yeah, but if I only had Nightfall, could I only use the classes from Nightfall? Or could I use the ones from prophecies as well?

There are six core classes ...

Hey, I just checked. My username is Shadow Of Greif. I was in another guild the last time I played, but luckily it looks like I've been booted out :D

Hey I really need a new guild so this is great! I love guild wars, and when Nightfall comes out, I will get it.

My username is Shadow-of-sorrow I think. I havent been on guildwars for a while because I made a new computer, and I can't be bothered installing it ;)

When I do install it, I ...
