Sorry to say.... this is the best Monitor I have ever used. :) My Sony G500 was damn nice too in its day, but the size of an air conditioner......

The NEC LCD20WGX2 sat on my office floor for a week , was waiting for my new rig to arrive and I didnt want to taint the experience.

Taking into consideration that I just upgraded to a kickass rig ..

This monitor is just Awesome. And thats coming from somone who was using a Sony 21'' crt.

So far, the games I have played it with are Half Life 2, Galactic Civ II and F.E.A.R. And tonight.. Oblivion!!!!!!!!! No ghosting or dead pixels that I can see.

I cant believe I used to be reluctant to go widescreen. I love this resolution. 1600X1200 frankly didnt float my boat with games, not that I didnt like it but took a but-load of horsepower to support it with high settings.

The thing that impresses me the most I think are the black levels. I never saw a monitor that looks this sweet with darker backrounds. The colors are brilliant.

I can go into detail later after playing with this bad boy some more, I am also getting used to my new rig :)


It does however have one flaw, one weakness...the one thing that might be keeping you from getting it and thats the price. I got a decent deal at buy.com ( rebate, and it dropped $30. Also shipped in 3 days ). Or maybe you think 20'' wide screen is to small but damn... Sitting 1 foot away from a screen... I honestly wouldnt want anything bigger, or I would need a couch and a remote control... oh wait thats my Living room!

Congrats...I was trying to find one as I have gone through 4 Dell 2005's, a Gateway 2185 and I'm now using the 19"version of your display. I too was blown away with the richness of the colors and the deep abys-like blackness. I will wait to see how the glossy screen holds up in daylight before I make any rash judgements, but it really makes me want my widescreen back.

P.S. Specs of your new rig?

Glad you like it. I'm going to have my hands on one in 6 months or so.
