    That Viewsonic N3000w was hooked up to my computer for a while, and was really good as a monitor, the desktop was a bit blurry but for watching films and playing games on with was impressive. This was using the DVI input.

    The only problem i did have was finding the correct drivers for it.

    If you wanted a widescreen panel for your computer get a dell mate.

    nice man, which model number is that? I think LCD TV could work as monitors but they do tend to have weird resolutions.
