while i hate all other dell products with a burning passion in my pants, their monitors however are exceptional. it may be perhaps because they are made by someone else and then rebranded as dell. the finish on my 5 year old 20" is just god awful. you can see raw unfinished metal and i had to cover it up with foam to prevent any accidental cuts but the screen itself is wonderful. compared it to a 22" acer, 22" lg and 22" samsung and the samsung was the only one that i prefered over it but that had to go when i was moving back home.
ive never played with a 16:9 screen though, sounds interesting. perhaps my next screen.
