Hey everybody this is my first post, I have a couple of noob question so I apologize in advance :S I'm thinking of getting an LCD monitor soon and unsure whether I should get a widescreen. Do all widescreen LCD's revert back to 4:3 aspect ratio for games that do not support widescreen, is there an option for that on all widescreen LCD's? Or will my games that don't support widescreen be stretched and look weird? Thanks for your help.

Some monitors have that option, and some don't. But if you only want to use the LCD monitor with your computer, and you have a good graphics card (and a DVI cable), then it doesn't really matter whether your LCD has that option or not, because your graphics card will have that option, and you are better off using it.
