19" LCD.. Viewsonic OR ACER?

[Pabloz]

Hi there, i dont live in USA so i got a limited market talking about LCD monitors.
Im able to find on the market some monitors like these ones:


LCD 19 VIEWSONIC WIDESCREEN VA1912wb
16.1" horizontal x 10.0" vertical; 19.0" diagonal
1440x900
500:1 contrast
8ms response time
16:10 aspect ratio
VGA & DVI

ACER
AL1914SMD-8 19" Silver 8ms Dvi Speakers


and some normal 19" viewsonic monitors that i cant remember the model.



What do you think?
should i go with acer?
or should i buy the Viewsonic widescreen?
I think the viewsonic widescreen is smaller than the acer,( i mean vertically it must be smalller than the acer) and horizontally it must be bigger.

But since i never had a widescreen monitor to play with, i dont know if its a bad aspect about it, i like to play counterstrike sometimes, dont know if the widescreen monitor will have trouble with that, maybe its good for surfing the web and chatting and working only.


well if anyone has experience with those 2 monitors please let me know because i have to buy one of them in a few days
my email is pablin_@msn.com

thanks.

I bought the ViewSonic widescreen and it wasn't that great. It has no built-in scaling options for setting at non-widescreen resolutions, and the screen would look garbled if I attempted to have my video card perform proportional scaling. I ended up giving the Viewsonic to my wife, and I kept my standard 19" BenQ.

Movies looked fantastic on the ViewSonic, though, and a widescreen windows desktop is very nice. the monitor just wasn't compatible with enough of my games.

Best Viewsonic is the VP930b which is 19in. 5:4. (not widescreen)

If your looking for a wide screen, what about a Dell 2405? 2005? (though I would never get a 19/20in wide screen).
