Who plays CSS with a WS monitor ?

Is it better or worse ?

What is browsing like are web pages built for WS ?

Do I see more or less, or is the picture just stretched ?


If I wanted to buy a 21" WS with minimum 8ms response time what would you all reccomend ? Budget £300 - £400

Cheers

King.

I picked up a Dell 24" widescreen on ebay for... some money... and its the muts nuts. Tho that could just be that im running it at 1920x1200 and it make my old 17" one look like poo. I say go for the widescreen.

Oh and web browsing is a wonderful thing as it only takes up half the screen. I usually have tv runnig in the other half... or you could have another window.

played on a dell and yes you can see more of the screen
(take for instance the grey block on aztec as a T (left is double doors, right is bridge) i normally camp there if im having a glock round, however you have to continually look left and right as you cannot see at the same time. however, on my mates tft thats not a prob...so id assume its the case with other widescreens but it may have something to do with the res you set it at i dunno

got a 23 inch wide screen and like others say, playing on the old 19 is just
pointless. feels crapmed. no problems with ghosting on mine and all in all,
much better then a regular one.
