I am looking for a good quality widescreen LCD that I would be using
mostly for gaming. I know not all games support widescreen yet, but
they will.

I am looking for one one that has a really high ms access time. At
least 5ms, lower of course would be better. (not a cheap one that
only brags about low ms for grey to grey)...

I am looking at 22" models, nothing smaller.

But also, I am looking for a model that can put black bars on the
left&right in order for 4:3 games to look normal,and not be stretched
across the screen making everything look wide.

Any recomendations out there?

I've been looking around and there are some really nice Viewsonic 22"
models out there such as the VX2235wm, but I can't find enough info on
this model (or others I've look at), that specify if this unit can put
black bars on the left&right in order for 4:3 content to not be
stretched.

I like playing Battlefield 2, and that game doesn't do widescreen to
well..... :)

Anybody out there with a good recomendation(s)?

I am not really worried about the price. Most of the models I've seen
seem to be in the $300 - $400 range, that that is fine. I will pay
more for a better one. Especially if it can fit 4:3 without
stretching...

Anyknow know if this VX2235wm model can do this? I do like this
model, but I just can't find info on it.

Thanks, Todd.


I have both a Dell 2007WFP and a Dell 2407WFP. Both support "1:1" and
"aspect" scaling of a display not 16:10. My 2407 has issues with 1600x1200
(native res is 1920x1200), but this has been fixed with the latest rev (now
A04, mine is A03).

The nice thing about the Dell 2407WFP is you can usually get it for about
$600, I actually got mine on sale for $529 with six months no interest. It
has lots of inputs: 1 DVI, 1VGA, 1 SVideo, 1Composite, 1 Compnent, 9 in 2
card reader, and two USB ports. I use it with two PC's and an XBOX hooked up
and it works marvelously.

It has a native resolution of 1920x1200 and has a 6ms response time. Even my
2007WFP has 16ms response, and it manages games just fine. The 2407 at 6ms
is remarkable. Here's the specs:
