... Please someone answer..
I need to buy the monitor soon. I found the two LG Lcd monitors in the site. Please comment on these. I dont see LG monitors being discussed about much. All I see are samsung/viewsonic/benq. Is it worth going for LG? How much do they cost?

Please give me a suggestion soon.. Does widescreen stretch the game window? Do I have the option to turn off the widescreen resolution in games? How does the experience with widescreens in games would be like? Please help me decide.....
