[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 3870514, member: 20741"] I use a Dell 20.5" Widescreen as my main screen and a BenQ 19" LCD off to the right as a secondary display. There are no problems at all with this setup. It is perfectly fine to use, no oddity to the eye or other bizzareness inherent in it use. If you can afford a 24" Dell widescreen (or similar quality) - get it. You'll be very happy you did. My only concern on the widescreens that go higher than 1680x1050 is that you had better have the video card power to push those pixels if you intend to play games on it. (Hell - you better have it for the 1680x1050, for that matter) Pixel Shader game's resolution does not scale like older technology - so you need a top end card and preferably an SLI video rig to drive a large format widescreen monitor. 1920 x 1200 is a helluva lot of pixels. 1920 x1200 will also give you full 1080p display resolution for HD/ Blu-Ray, which is very nice. And yes, SLI will only work on one monitor. When SLI is on, you secondray monitor will go blank. [/QUOTE]
