Mo-S3 Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Seeing the price of tft's have fallen a great deal and also the fact that mine got pinched a few months ago, im looking for a 19" model or even a 20". Have seen this one at MD ASUS 19" for £139. Being a widescreen will it look weird or the same as a standard 4:3? Anyone recommend any others or a good 20" one for the same-ish price? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eolair Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 not look weird - the gfx card will push out extra pixels, nowt will be distorted. If anything, widescreen on a Pc is a bonus if you run a few apps at a time. The contrast ratio is good too, and they offer three year warranty. The only caveat is that it's a VGA connector. If you intend keeping for a few years, it might be hard to find high end cards with VGA, as opposed to DVI/HDMI. But that's a small concern.

Mo-S3 Posted December 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 cant really complain at that price now can for a lack of dvi connection. Besides its only ever used for internet browsing, never games. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ari Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 I have a wide screen monitor at home and a 4:3 at work and I much prefer the look af the wide screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattchaps Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 That is true, but an LCD TV won't give the same quality as a TFT as the pixels in the LCD are larger, so the picture will not be as sharp. I'd say go for a 19" TFT widescreen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo-S3 Posted December 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 I used to use a 22" lcd tv with my pc and setting the resolution was a pain. Even after that it still wouldnt look right. I went to get this tft yesterday but all flippin sold out!! Will have to try Scan computers in the new year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
