16:9 you're best off buying an LCD TV i.e http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=AV-002-AO&groupid=703&catid=511&subcat=

No i changed my mind again m8, lookign upto 200/300 quid, perhaps even a bit more.

Raikiri: no i need a monitor not a tv, for gaming, occasional film and a lot of desktop usage, i refuse to see black lines on top&bottom though on a 16:10, i know there are 16:9 monitors, but i have very little experience with tft's at all to know wich to get

EDIT : wow nice cheap tv, didnt know you could get them that cheap, 1 or 2 months of saving and migth be pursuided to get one, however ideally i need something cheaper.

Erm snowdog LCD are actually as good as tft monitors. Usually larger for not much more than equivelent tft too. Good for gaming, movies and desktop.

Btw i really wouldnt advise you buy a high end tft with the gfx card you have at the mo, well the worry is due to gaming on large screens. You need a beefy gfx card for em. Tho if you think you can use one then by all means go for it.

Who said im keeping my gfx card, the situation has changed because of what i said on msn, i can get a lot of cheap stuff now, including dead cheap oem gfx cards...

Btw tft just means its short, pretty much all monitors are lcd, but tv's have a lower resolution and i'm afraid of unsharpness.

This considering though after i seen raikiri's link, the tv looks very very tempting

, HD ready too

. Problem is i need a monitor to go with within a month, and i need about 1 or 2 mroe months to get money together for such a tv...

You could get 2 19" tft for the price of that cheap 27" lcd btw, which i think would suit better due to you wanting dual monitor setup as if you get a large monitor you wont want to use that small 17" tft i think. You have seen on forum through pics what dual 19" screens look like so i do think you might be tempted by that instead. Tho up to you. Depends on if wanting dual monitor setup, or 1 screen etc etc.

Im keeping a 17'' crt one way or the other, i dont trust tft's enough still for some games to completly step over to a full tft setup and ghosting occasionally bothers me especially when the camera in a clip is moving.

EDIT: so, anyone knows a good 16:9 WS monitor???
