Sorry to bring up the W word..

Does anyone here play WoW using a widescreen monitor? Does WoW support widescreen displays?

That is all.

PS: WoW sucks mmkay?

Sounds like a not bad deal. But if you're gonna play wow, i found the more resolution the better. Cause all those mods and raid ui really can clutter up the screen space. If you can afford it go for a dell 24inch, they rock otherwise that 19inch acer looks good for $300.

Its for a birthday present so the budget is around $300. He doesnt use any mods (yet) so it should be ok I guess

How much are the Dell 24 inch?

A lot more than $300, for him it sounds good.

One thing i did notice is the panel doesn't have dvi, I'm not sure if that's a deal breaker, but if your video card has dvi which i most likely will, it's better to use dvi. But I have noticed their dvi model is around 100 bucks more.
