Which 20" widescreen?

Hi,

My apologies if this is a common post but I don't know what to get.

Looking at:

Viewsonic VX2025 20" Widescreen LCD Monitor
Belinea 102035W 20.1" Widescreen LCD Monitor
BenQ FP202W 20" Widescreen LCD Monitor
Dell Ultrasharp 2005FPW 20" Widescreen LCD Monitor
Philips 200W6CS 20" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Silver
NEC MultiSync® LCD20WGX2 20.1" Widescreen LCD Monitor

which one?

Also can all games be played in 1680 x 1050 ?

Thanks for any help

have a read of this article which should help. reagarding WS gaming, a lot of mdoern games support it anyway, and widescreengamingforum.com can help with "hacks" for others. some WS monitors support 1:1 pixel matching anyway

Whats that?

1:1 pixel matching basically means the display will not scale the image up to it's native res.

The dell isnt one of these isnt it not? - I got one already had one for ages but images look bad at low res's.

I'm sure you can force the 2005 to pixel match - just means you will end up with a small picture surrounded by black borders instead of it filling the screen.

yeah it does that but not the same as full page.

Leaning towards the NEC LCD20WGX2 now.

its between the

NEC LCD20WGX2
Viewsonic VX2025

can't decide

no 1:1 pixel matching on the Viewsonic sadly.

The NEC looks good but the glossy screen and the problems with bleed are putting me off. :confused:

is the 1:1 pixel matching that important?
I have a 17" Prolite E431S and i deally would like to have both monitors running
