Question 16:9 Monitor?

I'm thinking if I should get a normal 4:3 LDC monitor or one in 16:9. What do you think? I already have an HDTV so I won't need the monitor to watch movies but it could be helpful in editing movies and sound since the view is wider but how would it look in gaming? Does it just strech it out (which looks hideous)? Is there also a list out there which shows games with 16:9 support?

thanks!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thanks for your help guys!
I think I'm probably gona get this one
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1138083976140
It's got the native solution I wan't to a reasonable price. I checked it out by myself at ebay and think this oun could be the right one since I really don't wanna spend more than 500$ on that.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

@killmoms
Thanks for to inform me on that monitor. It has even a S-IPS panel which the bestbuy one doesn't have. Looks really good and even with the full price it's still (a little bit) cheaper. DO you know if Dell is shipping with USPS? I HATE UPS.

How ya doing, buddy?

That's really fast. I live in LA so it shouldn't take long.

In my mail it says Estimated Ship Date: Wednesday, June 28, 2006
Does that mean it will leave then or I will receive it on that date? I just hope that I'm getting it before end of next week. Where can I see from which place they shipped it?

Nope, not with 3 DAYS OF PROCESSING befor it will even get shipped. Normaly you receive it in a few days and not over a whole week. That would be just idiotic service to be correct...

Double Post:
Wow the email suppot is really greate. They just changed my order in to next day shipping without additional cost (I whoudl get it on monday)! Well that's what I call a greate support ;-) Now let's just hope we got the A02 rev.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I should get it today but how should I send it back? By USPS or something else? Do I have to pay for shipping?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I just gone mine (rev00 like I tought) so now I just have to email them and they send my a new one so I don't have to send it back first and then wait another week? Sound pretty greate!
Now I just have to wait two weeks to be sure that they don't ship this 00 model anymore...does this replacement warranty only for 30 days?

Mmhhhh you got the A02 before we got our A00....what the hell is wrong with dell???
At least the warranty does cover it.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Ok thanks I will do that.
About the monitor should I instal the driver or rather download the newest version on the net and which cable to use? DVI-D or the standard VGA?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

but your videocard software/driver should be good enough to get it into dvi-d (which is what im using, but i cant see a difference, and its in the dvi-d that the banding issues are said to occur)

also i was just gonna express my anger, bc the monitor is now on sale for $344, man, shoulda waited...


*edit
got my replacement in today! that was really quick, i wasn't even expecting it yet
Could you already exchange your monitor? I just send chrism a PM.

He didn't answered me yet so I send him a second mail with more pressure and where is the service tag?? It suppose to be at the bottom left corner on the back I can't find it. Theres just a long row of numbers. I tried to type in every group of numbers between the "-" but it wont accept any.

Yeah below the barcode is a row of numbers which is far too long for a service tag.
