hi all i just sold my old ACER 19 inch widescreen monitor as many games didnt work on it and i got me a new 19 inch LG normal screen and its a real beauty and all games works great on it ..my question is do u prefer widescreen monitors for gaming ?? or just normal LCD monitor ...coz over 19 inch is all widescreen monitors ??
Of course they are good for gaming. IMO they're better than square monitors because it mimicks the way the eyes are aligned, thus making viewing it much more comfortable because it extends the space you have to look at.
Without a Widescreen monitor, your not going to get "Boom Headshotted" as much as you do now with a 4:3 Ratio screen. :P-CheeseEater-
But what if the shot comes from above or below?
Don't widescreens compromise vertical expanse when they expand their horizontal expanse (IOW, though you can look left or right better, the same can't be said of up or down)?

That would depend on how the game is rendering. Most games don't do that, though. They don't stretch the vertical "off-screen" in an effort to match the monitor's horizontal. They simply expand the horizontal FOV.
If games just did the former, then yeah, getting a widescreen monitor would be pointless. But that isn't the case, thankfully.
Oh, and 24" widescreen LCD here. I'm never goin' back!

You have to choose the proper resolution. Square resolutions will look either blurry or stretched out on a widescreen.
I love gaming on a 20in widescreen, especially in new games where 16x10 is natively supported. It is kind of a pain in older games that don't support it natively though.
You would deffinetly see a difference and you should never miss out far as details go and with the card that I have wow just wow cause it is very bright cause I have the aa on x16 and no slow downs.
