Hey.

I'm looking to buy a new LCD Monitor. I currently have a 17" normal monitor and feel that it's time to upgrade.

Now, I'm looking to buy a 22" or 21". When comparing monitors I ran into one problem. Since I usually play games on my pc should I get a Widescreen, or just normal LCD? And I possibly like to play my 360 on my montior.

What would you guys recomend?

If you want to play games on your pc, get an actual LCD monitor instead of the HDTV that MilkyJoe1 has. 1366x768 is not regular computer resolution, so games might not support it. You're better off getting the standard 1680x1050 on a 20"-22".

Would you recommend a Widescreen LCD Monitor, or standered. I heard someone saying that widesreen is better.

It's up to you. Most games support widescreen now. Personally, I prefer it.

Just got HP's w2207 22" and love it. You can't go wrong with that (~$350).
