Right now I'm using widescreen monitor, 19 in i have a square one thats also 19 inch. Which one do you guys think is better for gaming and watching movies and why?
Well widescreen is the definatefor dvds seeing as the bottoms won't be blacked out. As for gaming I have no Idea. If your computer is good enough use both.
I think for 19" 4:3 aspect ratio is better than widescreen. At 19" the monitor is just too small to be stretched. To me, it looks like a smaller monitor because it is so short. But for larger monitors, widescreen is definitely better.
I recently picked up a 19" 4:3 Hanns-G monitor, I love it, I game at 1280x1024 so it's perfect. 19" widescreens just don't look right to me, if I picked up a widescreen it'd have to be bigger then 19" for gaming.
I have a 15.4" 1280x800 widescreen laptop and a desktop with a 20" screen with a 1680x1050 resoultion, (wide of corse). I'm never going back to a standard screen again. Great for games, movies, and anything else.
i have a question, when i play movies on my Window Media Player and set it on Full screen it doesnt go full screen on my widescreen monitor is it suppose to be like this or can it stretch it all the way
I recently bought a 20" widescreen and have been very pleased with it. I would say anything larger then 20" go for a widescreen and anything less than square. I was hesitant at first to go widescreen, because I didn't know how many games supported widescreen, but to my surprise almost all of my games do support widescreen monitors.
