lol he meant widescreen

what res are you looking for skarg? id reccomend at least 1920x1080, samsung and lg for quality, acer and asus for value

what price range?

several guys on these forums will reccomend ips monitors to you, if youre willing to spend that much, im sure youd enjoy one

i, not being in that price range, dont look too much into those, something in this list should suit you

main thing is you want at least 1920x___ or higher

its increasingly tough to search for monitors these days becuase the stats given by the mfg tend to be .... weighted? i think its a good idea to check out the brands in person even if you dont buy so you can see what looks best to your eyes, everyone is different

 

to me, in your range, these look pretty good

Skarg

I have the Samsung SyncMaster P2770HD 1920x1080 got it at Costco.  they have them for $ 329 or 350 right now and i couldnt be happier gaming with it playing BC2 and COD.  I am running it off a GTX-260 right now and it looks great.
