best 20inch LCD?

[kingdomwinds]

I want to play games at 1600x1200 so what 20inch LCD good for gaming? I just got a 2x7900 GT setup and im not seeing the benefit because my max res is 1280x1024.

I was really pissed when i did not see a diff in my games but maybe it is because im playing at 1280x1024. I really liked the 3dmark05 score of 13k though. That is higher than the 11k i got with a single 7900 GTX

BTW, what rendering mode is best for SLI? I set mine to autoselect using coolbits

Go widescreen.
Everyone is pretty much going WS though, and for good reason.
Do some searching.

I suggest the NEC 20WGX2.

NEC MultiSync 20WMGX2 is the best at everything at this point, except maybe ergonomics. The ViewSonic VX2025WM is a close second. For 20" non-widescreen, the Samsung 204B is not too shabby for gaming.

but i heard that battlefield 2 has problems in WS. Some of the parts of the screen get chopped off.

After reading nullshark's post about the VX2025, I'm not sure if it's really that close. Of course the price isn't close either.

Dell

Stack some cupons and get a 1600x1200 Dell for less than $300 shipped.

I just bought the VX2025wm earlier in the week, and although this is my first LCD and my eyes might not be as trained as some, I have no qualms so far. I haven't noticed any ghosting/blurring issues in either games or movies, no dead pixels. The monitor looks absolutely fabulous and I am very pleased with my purchase.

I considered the far more expensive NEC alternative, but ultimately went with this one because of the sharp price difference.

I highly recommend this monitor.

I also recently bought this monitor. Upgraded from my dell 17", and this is so much better. There is some noticable ghosting if I move very fast side to side in fps, but I never notice under normal gaming conditions. And at $409 shipped there is no comparison.
