Advantages of Widescreen

Hi,

I am will be upgrading anyday now and would like some opinions on a new monitor...

Bascially I can get a 7900gt and the viewsonic 19" (non ws) now or just get the 7900 gtx now and wait to get a new widescreen monitor in the near future....

Will I be able to play games at full res which is 1280 x 1024 with the gt on the 19" viewsonic (non ws)?

Or would you wait and grab the 7900gtx now and get a ws a little later?

Is there a lot of difference when gaming on widescreen?

All comments would be most appreciated....

Hey,

Thanks for the site its really helpful and I see what all of you mean about ws's now.....

I am seriously considering getting the GTX and then saving for a WS now...

Can you recommend a WS?? Irrespective of budget....more bang for buck really?

Thanks for all your responses and help so far...

Cheers!!!

any particular one?

thats nice....

Although for £422 its fair to expect the best.....

Is there much chance of recieving of a faulty product? I have read a lot of dead pixels and other faults on brand new montiors...It leads to me whether paying such a lot of money for a screen is justified??
