Yep, if your budget won't stretch any further those are perfect. Above that the HP Zr24w and Dell U2411.

And if games were programmed differently, you'd see MORE on a 16:10 monitor with equal horizontal rez. That would be vert+, btw. Most games use horiz-, which doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

^^^ this.

dont assume all games work correctly. like Foxeye said, actually most of them dont.

Well, now the games are horiz-. Who cares how it would have been if the games were vert+ when they are not?

Obviously you buy a gamingmonitor that matches the way the games are programmed; not the way the games could be programmed. Vert+ will never come back. It belongs to the history.

because some rather large games still do it properly.

They still are exceptions and those exceptions just gets more rare for every day that goes. The only place you will be able to play vert+ in a near future is on museum.

big deal. where there's a game that doesnt do it properly, there's a patch.
