I can't decide which one to choose!!!!!!

[BambisRevenge]

surely the wide one is better? and its cheaper...

Don't go wide unless it's the screen you watch DVD's through.

[sss]

maybe get 1 of each for the best of both worlds!

[Alluvium]

if you want bigger 19" wide is better, nice for movies, most games suoprt a wide screen mode i think so go for that, im sure its more expensive right ?

[RotoRouterZA]

If you ever want a new gen console, wide is better. Then you can use it on the same wide screen!

wide is better... but be aware that BF2 will look "weird" even if you force the res on the game to run at 16:9 or 16:10.

only games with widescreen in mind work best.

but for the long run i would go for the widescreen.

[sss]

i cant see why would would actually be better... it has less pixels doesnt it?
well i plan on getting a plasma tv.. so any console stuff will go there and dvd's

[Sabre]

You can force BF2 to run in widescreen by modifying the properties on the icon (not from within the game), 16:9 is VERY good but does take a bit of getting used to. Apparently you can also change your FoV, I haven't tried this yet.

What resolutions do the LCD's run at?

Remember when they had the BF2 launch at the Military Museum? There was a guy from BT playing on that large screen LCD or plasma. That looked cool.

Nice to know that BF2 will handle the changed in aspect ratio.

I think Wall set up his machine to handle the fun full eye candy mode and the ability to have his 1337 specs. Perhaps some of this arcane wisdom should be shared on the War Geekia?
