20.1" or 19" TFT for gaming?

[Scoobie Dave]

Im going to be getting my first TFT screen in the next couple of months or so. . .
Im really interested in the Viewsonic 20" VX2022w when it's finally released as it comes with a 3ms Response Time which should mean that I should not notice any ghosting (hopefully). I think the VX2022w will retail around £380.
My point is is it really worth paying the extra cash for another inch when I could get a Samsung 19" SM-930BF and save around £130. Im aware that TFT's work best using their native resolutions (1680x1050), is there good support for widescreen gaming?

20.1" or 19" TFT what would you choose?

Cheers.

he's getting at the resolution the 19" widescreens go at

Well actually I was taking about 20" widescreens.

If I was going for a 19" then I would just get the regular size.

The actual viewable area of a 19" and 20" Wide screen is about the same, as the 19" is 5:4 compared to 16:9, so has a higher erea per diagnal inch. However the 20" Wide screen has a larger resolution and will be effectivly bigger for wide screen films too.

So better to spend a bit more and go for the widescreen. At the end of day I want to make the right choice as im going to be staring at it for the next 4-5 years.
