Upgrade from 19" CRT

Gjiir · 15 Sep 2006 at 17:06

its time for me to upgrade my monitor from the 19" CRT i have currently, and i have been looking at these forums and am tempted to get a 19 or 20" TFT.
I am VERY tempted by Widescreens, but have concerns with the resolution.

My Pc specs are AMD64 3700+ San Diego, 2GB RAM, ATI 1800xt PCI-E, 160GB SATA Samsung HDD.
I play games most of the time. Mainly WoW and Dawn of War atm.

Will i be able to play these games at a good speed in the High 20" widescreen resolution?

Easily I would have thought. 1680x1050 is a very nice res

Why dont you try playing at 1600x1200 on your CRT? if thats fine it will deffo work with the 20" WS res as its less pixels.

Think i'll go for the Belinea 102035W 20.1" Widescreen .

Any comments?
