Fairly certain my entire playtest was on a widescreen monitor.

Yeah it does, and the great part is that Source games give you more side vision instead of cutting off the top and bottom, nice monitor :D

Pretty nice indeed. Only downside is the measly 700:1 ratio.. :(. Still a good deal though!

I ended up getting that 24" TFT (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/130991) instead of a new graphics card.

Delivered today and have been up and running for about 2 hours now - I gotta say, my GeForce 6800GS really doesn't like running games at 1920x1200 lol

I had broblems too that souhld i buy new video card or monitor.
But if i had buy new card, this monitor cant run the great graphics, it cant even my usual "AtiRadeon x 850" :P and it can blow up eny second.
So yeah monitor that is, and im all broke now cuz fucking bills and other things what i needed to pay xD i got 700€ in morning, now i have 54€ =O
gotta live with that at least 2 weeks then i get rest of my payment.

Very nice, I just bought the Wbd myself.
I so wanted the black one xD whats the difirence on WBD and WSD?

Lol should buy this puppy http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Gamer_Ultra_900 (http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Gamer_Ultra_900) 0_GT/ Ive had my eye on here for a while.

I so want one powermachine too :P not money tough, more work.

But cuz of money i did not, i need to eat something you know :D

That respond speed would been so nom nom nom, &quot;2ms&quot; but this one wath i buys was &quot;5ms&quot; >.< and 700:1 to 3000:1 o.o shit.
But i gues it does not effect my gameplay much.

I was supposed to get a new graphics card for Christmas (GeForce 8800GT!) but it didn't arrive... Finally got in touch with the parcel company BT Shop sent it to, and they said they had tried to deliver it (which they hadn't... No slip or anything) and they had sent it back that morning... I hate them!

Just got mine as well Asura, from what I can tell specification-wise I don't think there's any difference between yours and mine. Hope you're as happy with yours as I am :V

Recently bought a new PC monitor myself.

I went for a ''ViewSonic VX2240W2'', 1680x1050, 16:10 , 2MS.

Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a decent 22&quot; with 2MS response time for around £200
