if i remember well.
i heard that not many vista games will be widescreen compatible.
otherwise get TV lcd with a DVI or VGA connection, i cant remember which one plugs into pc LOL

Or just buy a nice CRT monitor. I don't know why you need widescreen anyway....

there a dell pc monitor who is widescreen and as tree video in and its built in. composite, componant and s-video. And you dont need a computer to make then work, its 900 $ cnd that must be 500 euro. It's realy great i have played on it with mame and the tv-fixed and even 4-3 format games are nice and vertical shooters woooooooo!

Next time i work i'l make a video and put it on youtube.

Some online multiplayer games dont support a widescreen fov.
So while it is great for movies its not a good choice if you want to play online.

 

[Steve-O]

only online games I play are HL2 and CS Source which is Widescreen enabled anyway so think I will be ok for online gaming. Plus new games comming out seem to all have the Widescreen option, seems like widescreen might be the way to go for future gaming like widescreen is the way to go for DVD Movies etc now....?

only thing I will loose is my Stereo 3D Glasses option but fook it, I can use them on my other PC with the CRT monitor

only game i recently played that doesn't support widescreen is bf2. pretty much everything else works.
and games are just cooler on it. plus tv and movies.

not bad for £149 and all the reviews say its great for the price

Also ordered a Logic3 VGA Box with 4x AV inputs so I can plug my Freeview, PS2 and Xbox into it

Consumer indoctrinated tool!

I've got a 19" Viewsonic, native 1440*900, and it's great. Very, very few modern games fail to support widescreen resolutions.

What do you need the VGA box for?

 

[Steve-O]

What do you need the VGA box for?

to connect PS2, Xbox, Dreamcast, Freeview Box etc etc (anything that uses AV Leads) to the Monitor as well ...
