Widescreen or Standard Display for Gaming?

Which would be your preference, for those that have widescreens, for gaming? Dell has the 20" WS for around $463 right now, thinking of picking it up.

Only Need for Speed and Rise of Nations have been odd on it.

NFS Underground 2 doesnt support widescreen gaming and hacked to 1920x1600 it runs beyond slow on a 7800GTX and slow on dual GTXs

Rise of Nations just looks odd.

Overall I cant go back to standard displays now.

Thanks for the input guys. Can't beat the price on it with normal LCD's, and the response time shouldn't be an issue. Now to make sure my 9700PRO will run it, and I believe it will.

I know what you mean now. Unbelievable, even on my crappy old card.

I love my WS, however I do have some apps and games that don't look right so I change my primary screen to my 21" and all is good.

That's if you have room enough for a dual monitor setup.

If I only had room for the one I would defiinitly go WS.
