gaming and 24 inch wide screen?????????/

[myosin]

Will be ordering a 24 inch wide screen DELL 2407WFP. My first wide screen monitor. Are the newer games being written to support wide screen? I don't want to get the big wide screen then have my games "stretched" to fit the screen.

Looking to get new MOH, then Crysis and COD4.

they definitely will, and even if they arent, there are ways to make them go widescreen

Yes. I got a Dell 24 inch, and games look great on it. Most of the games will not need to be stretched. DO IT!

i was in your same boat on lcd's.

When i researched, i noticed dell had a hugh recall on the 24 inch LCD's. At the time i did more digging, and found out that Gateway's 24 was raited higher on reviews.

So, i went out and bought one to test out. Im absolutely SOLD on this monitor. I loved it so much i bought a second one to pair them, and my Dell 20.1 is now at the office.

I recomend you take a look at the Gateway 2485W LCD's b4 you press that buy button.

I have Gateway, but it has serious reverse ghosting issues. Latest revision of 2407 is probably better option.

theres no way they can ignore widescreens anymore. they are just too common

reverse ghosting issues?

I havent noticed any of that. Can you give me an example so i can test to see it?

Gateway 2485 underwent another revision. Even my friend who has a 30 inch dell says the pictures look a lot crisper and more alive then his dell.

Goto a BnM store like Circuit City and take a look at it for yourself. Thats the best way to see which one would fit your bling.

The current rev of the 2407wfp-HC (A00) is affected by severe ghosting/shadowing/halo effects. I have one, and while it is a great monitor 95% of the time, it can drive you absolutely nuts the other 5% due to graphical glitches.

I have no idea about the Gateway.
