I was plannin on buying a monitor this weekend... but I see its a lil harder than i thought to decide what kind of monitor do i need...

1) first I never gamed in a widescreen.... will it be awkward.... assuming the game i play most (AA) supports the resolution the monitor has ? coz i do game in a regular basis... ( and i like the idea of having a widescreen... looks cool the least to say)

2) Then I realised that if i ever wanted to watch those HD-DVD or bluray movies I will need an HDCP suported monitor.... which i see its not many choices out there.... not many have that feature...

3) And finally after reading the lcd guide i thot i was decided on the Benq 19" 2ms gaming monitor... untill i realised that it doesnt have HDCP... so right now im totally lost... Could some1 recommend smthn worth it .... budget anywhere from $2-300 and screen from 19" to 21" max i guess

Read the LCD thread at top of VIDEO forums by Xtknight,I would go with the 20" between those two,however I feel there are better models to choose from in the LCD thread meantioned above.

As to America's Army ,check this site for widescreen support.

Well the Benq is #2 in the gaming recommendation.... and the Samsung seems a good 5ms gaming widescreen... for my price range I cant find anything better..... Unless I can get the Spectre 22" 5 ms widescreen for 300$... for which i need to find some1 with coscto membership
