hi guys,

i'm planning to buy new LCD monitor
is Wide Screen (16:9) LCD good for game playing?
what 'll happen if a game does not support wide screen feature?
will all screen stretch?
i want to know

Yeah, I have one... it isn't too shabby.
Yep, the screen will strech (the resolution will strech over the entire monitor, so if it isn't a widescreen resolution, then...)

that's bad
i think it's only suitable for DVD movie now
i should buy two LCD; one is WideScreen, another normal (4:3)
WideScreen for Movies
normal for Playing Games

But hey, Widescreen is the future, right?

may be

As widescreen gets more mainstream, you're sure to see more games with that aspect ratio as a selectable option.

If you have some Next-Gen-Hardware like a X-Box 360 then it's worth it. My parents bought a hdtv-widescreen display from samsung and it has some special "game-mode" witch auto-adjusts resolution and colors. It's also extremely pretty to watch DVD on this, but you should buy 5.1-speakers with it, so the audio matches the video.

However it's pretty bad for normal TV, since in germany there's HDTV only available on a few channels, and without it you really can count the pixel on the display

Just make sure you get one with a good response time, else your games make look a touch blurry.

8ms or lower is good.

I think it's hard to find one that has got anything higher than 8ms.

I was looking into this as well, I wonder how DC games look on LCD if it doesn't support the 640p.

I bought a 19inch Asus 5Ms widescreen. Most PC games out now have WS res's to select from and you wont notice. PCSX2 cuts off the sides of the screne (like a black boarder) even with pcsx2 games that have widescreen support (like FFXII). Only suggestion is make sure you dont get a 8ms. 5ms is good, 2ms is great.
