Widescreen Monitor?

[knghtwhosaysni]

B-day is coming up, and I was thinking of asking for a nice widescreen monitor :)
What do you guys think of these?
SCEPTRE X20G-Naga III Black 20.1" 8ms Widescreen LCD Monitor - Retail
ViewSonic VX2025WM Black-Silver 20.1" 8ms gray-to-gray (avg.); 16ms white-black-white (typ) Widescreen LCD Monitor - Retail
Do you guys know of any other ones? I'm looking for something with at least the 1680x1050 resolution and not over $450.
Also, do you think my 7800gt will be able to still play at these resolutions on all high in BF2?

Go for the dell, but I don't think the gt will be able to handle it.

I have been looking for a good LCD also to get. Looking at your links that 1st LCD I don't think would be good for gaming since if you look at the newegg reviews people are getting it while gaming.

I have heard good things about the dells LCD's so I think I might get one of those.

Please don't say this too loud, my 7800gt is running my 24" acer on all high settings with no problems and I don't want it to think that it can't.

Oh ya, quicker response times=lessor or no ghosting from what I understand.

Re: Widescreen Monitor?

I just bought (almost) the EXACT same LCD monitor (just for BF2 *cough*) and I LOVE it. I have an NVIDIA 6800GT 256MB GC on a DVI cable and most of my settings on High with AA off and the gameplay was been thrice improved!

I run it on 1680x1050 as well. It was $399.00 at CostCo [one of those membership superstores, you are probably aware of it]. Well that's my $.02
Go ahead and buy it.

Not to mention, I program in Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 and the extra screen area is awesome for all of the information I have to deal with.
