Widescreen Gaming Forum

I know this place is clogged with threads as it is, but I have just recently felt the TH2GO hunger inside of me, once again. Part of me still says don't bother, stick with my CRT, and part of me says I WANTZZ ITZ!

Anyway, I was looking for 19" LCD displays with a native 1280x1024 resolution (best to have it at native res, right?), which I could still play non TH2GO games on at a decent resolution (1280x1024 is less than the 1600x1200-2048x1536 I am used to, but hey, it's good enough). Now, on top of this, I was reminded that if I were to get a widescreen display, I would be stuck playing my old games (Baldur's Gate etcetera) in windowed mode anyway, and as such would not be taking full advantage of widescreen on all of my games. Again, add to this, that I spend more time browsing the web, than gaming, and even alt-tab out of games now and then to check message boards (sad I know). With these three, I would be able to run non-TH2GO games on one screen, and browse with the others, right?

So, anyway, here is the monitor that caught my eye:

Cheers for the vote whoever you are! Anybody else want to weigh in on this issue? All feedback is appreciated.

i was looking at LG L1933TR-SF myself, the ultra thin bezel is whats enticing looks like two side by side equal one regular bezel width.
also fast and somewhat cheap,.. though have to at least check the image quality from a retailer.

Hmm, I'll look that one up and see what it is like! 8)

basically the same as that, but different look, ..plain jane.

Indeed a pretty display. The same basic screen, but with a different stand, no weird button bobble on the bottom bezel, and in silver. Myself, I always prefer black monitors, so I think the first one will be my choice. But cheers for the option, it is nice to know there are other choices! 8)

pretty lcd foot !

Yeah, the stand manages to be rather nice, but not gaudy. I like it. Do you have any opinions on alternatives, starfighter?

Personally, I don't like the stand. That setup just screams to me "I need to be mounted, RIGHT NOW!" But the rest of the monitor is really ascetically pleasing.

Well, I may opt for an Ergotron stand in the future, but I don't mind the stand. What do you think of the Bezel thickness, and the rest?
