Wouldn't recommend a wide screen monitor for gaming.

If you don't mind having a 20.1", get the Viewsonic VX2025WM. Half the price of the screens you're looking at, and I can tell you from usage that it's a great monitor! Those Acers probably have glossy screens which always give glare problems. Some can get over it, and some can't stand it.

I don't like WS for gaming, mainly because not too many games support that function yet.
Between the two screens, I would go with the cheaper one b/c I don't need or want crappy built-in speakers...

I'd be surprised if you couldn't find a fix for a game that didn't "support" it on that website.
