Well, its all depandant on resolution.... The Dell 2405 (and I think 2407) have a native resolution of 1920x1200 for example, so you get the same vertical viewing area that a 1600x1200 panel gives, plus you get more room at the sides :)
Games you normally have to set to a widescreen resolution, virtually all games (going right back to the original Unreal Tournament for example) support widescreen resolutions that gives you a much wider viewing angle. Some games have issues though but can normally be worked around by editing an INI file. Check http://www.widescreengamingforum.com for solutions. The one thing I will say about gaming on a 24" widescreen is that you need the top-end of gfx cards to drive resoutions such as 1920x1200....a 7800GT WILL struggle in most games at this resolution and you can forget turning any AA on unless you have a ATI X1800/X1900....

How about things like games? When you load it does it fill the screen. I guess what I am asking is that when switching from a 21 inch CRT what is the difference, other then a high resolution, and is there any down size to the wide screen? ******* This message and any attachment are confidential and may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.
