Something to bear in Mind though with those 19" Widescreen TFT's - The Max Res they Support (Native) is 1140 x 900. Now while this is great for things going Across the Screen, the Down REs is lower than a Normal 17/19" TFT (these been 1280x1024). As Most games Support 1024x768 and higher res of 1280x1024, this means the game will not allow you to Select the Latter (as the Screen does not support this).

Before I bought anything, I did some Quick Sums though:

1280x1024 (17/19") = 1310720 Pixels
1440x900 (19" Widescreen) = 1026000 Pixels

So you can see you Actually Loose some real Estate there.

Personally I bought a 20" Widescreen which runs @ 1680x1050 and I have seen these now for like Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£200 now (even in PC World)...
