or sell my current 19 inch monitor along with another 15 inch lcd that i dont use to buy a new wide screen monitor like this one:

OK, heres what i did. 22 inch wide screen for my main screen, i love it!

Buy a matching 19 inch and run dual screen

I don't really like widescreens that much

Go with a dual setup

Dual, i hate widescreen..

Do you have a bestbuy near you? Tomorrow you can buy a 22" Widescreen LCD for $199. it has 5ms response time, 700:1, and also has video inputs.

But if not, I would buy another 19" lcd. A 20.1" isn't much bigger then you already have.

yeah, i voted dual screen... but some of those widescreen deals look good

I like widescreens, but another 19" would give you far more desktop space.

Dual or wide?

Well the key question is what you intend to do on the setup.

honesty, just normal computing. im on my computer ALL the time. i had a dual screen setup for a long while with my old laptop and LOVED it. i just miss it.

i have a friend that has a 23inch and it looked awesome. If by any chance you want to watch a movie on it, would it bug you to see borders across the middle of the screen?

Personaly i would sell your current and buy a Widescreen.

Dual screens ok but i would get one big screen.

 

[leetkyle]

why not just buy a budget widescreen and put it along?

i was thinking of doing that too. run the wide screen as my main one, then my current 19 inch as my second one. hum im not sure....

 

[JamesBart]

i got a wide screen just because i hated the gap i had when i ran 2 17" and one was a CRT and one was flat panel. wide screen it is!

 

[SirKenin]

I was playing with my TV tuner last night and watching TV on the widescreen. It has adjustments in the software if you have patience so that the picture completely fits the screen. So, I plugged my PVR into it and I have digital cable on my computer. It's kinda neat.

 

[Boomer]

heres what i did. 22 inch wide screen for my main screen, i love it!

o man, that would be a lot of desk top area!

 

[The_Beast]

now you need another 19" LCD to put on the left or another windscreen and put the 19" in the middle

nice setup and calculus book too
