Hey guys, i was just looking for the best monitor to buy; currently looking at a benq 19" 8ms 3:4 monitor and an acer al1916w, which is an 8ms 16:9 widescreen monitor. The Benq costs me $AU390 whilst the Acer costs me arnd $AU440 (in Australia, its RRP is $AU690 but there is some discount in this Asian store). Which one would you suggest I get up with? BTW, which is actually bigger in area (note: this is not abt the diagonal length; just which screen has larger AREA, the widescreen or the 3:4)? - Thnx
