In some games you will have to re-dial in your aim (especially FPS) as it will take a while for you to adjust your aim with there being more visible screen.

Depending on what technology you go for (TN Vs the rest) viewing angles can be a problem on wide screen (I guess more applicable to 24" screens) as with TN technology as there is more panel to show any colour gradiant / difference.
 
i'm not a gamer so i can live with that

more browsing and office stuff

TN ? - not well up on the tech anymore - like one with 2 inputs you can switch from the front without a menu - thinking of a Dell i guess really
