For the price. It seems like a steal! I have a 19 inch widerscreen Acer I just bought last year and paid $200. I would be using a hdmi/dvi cable. Resolution I would choose 1280x1024. I am fully aware of the non supporting resolutions and stretching. I will only use it for late night gaming when people are sleeping. We have a samsung ln-t3253h in the living room. The only monitors I believe that do 1:1 pixel mapping are Dells? Its really a toss up. Either buying this or pay more for 1:1 pixel mapping. I must be honest. The stretching does kinda bother me when your use to 16:9.

i personally wouldnt buy it at that price, not with other 22" monitors dipping down to 130 after rebates, and 24" prices dropping as well

Why would you use 1280*1024 for 360, I was under the assumption you could use VGA cables and do 1680*1050?

Last I heard, the 360 doesn't support 1680 x 1050. I know alot of people were asking Microsoft to add support for that resolution. I know it supports 1440 x 900, and also 1920 x 1080, but for some reason doesn't support 1680 x 1050.

I'm also in the market for a widescreen LCD to use with the 360 (on occasion), but I'm torn between buying a super dirt cheap one that might be kinda lame, and spending more $$$ on one, and getting one that is really good. The thing that kinds sucks, is that each monitor seems to have it's own look, so you're just not sure exactly what you are going to get with it, until you actually hook it up to the monitor and see the results. In a recent issue of consumer reports, they really like the Dell E207WFP 20 incher. It's 20 inches, instead of 22, but the big advantage that it has, is the fact that it has really good viewing angles. The vast majority of widescreen lcd monitors in the 19" to 22" and even 24" range, have horrible image degradation when viewed from positions of 45 degrees off the centerline. This is really important in case you are ever playing a two player game with somebody, or if you end up watching any movies or HDTV on it.

UPDATE: Nevermind my comments on the E207WFP. I did a some google searches on it, and all the reviews I've read have completely contradicted consumer reports take on it. Consumer reports said it had the best viewing angles of any of the monitors they tested, but the online reviews from other places don't seem to bear that out. So disregard that.
