I have a widescreen LCD and my pic looks fine to me. I've talked about this b4. I really think it depends on the monitor and what kind of adjustments you can make with it, because I don't notice any stretching after I've changed the monitors scale settings.

I have actually tried to play it on a 42 in plasma tv but it just pixals are playing up so I think my Nvida 660,256MB card is not good enough

6600's suck but they should play it alright on a 42 inch tv, even at 1080p HD for SH3.

I play SH3 on a 21" widescreen, with the high res fix mod set at 1680x1050.

There's no stretch. Everything looks beautiful.

And after gaming in big widescreen, I'll never go back to a square monitor.

do you get a wider field of view as part of the deal? At the moment if I took a screenie of my bridge facing bearing 0 deg on a VIIC, i can see about half of the Watch Officer on my left and just the arm of the lookout on my right.

What do you get to see? In other words is it really worth it or not?

No, the displayed image 'contents' is the same, I think (unlike widescreen movie versions).

But there's something about it that just looks and feels so much better.

Look at my sig, with it's rectangular shape. Now try to picture it with the sides squished into a square. it just wouldn't be as nice.

I use this BenQ. Very fast LCD, one of the fastest you can buy and not expensive. Designed especially for games. Remember that is TN, so angles of view aren't wide.
