Cool Two 19" monitors or a 22"?
I currently own a 19" Hanns-G monitor. I'm upgrading my whole system this summer and should I buy another 19" Hanns-G for $180 and run dual monitors or should i upgrade to a 22" widescreen Acer?

Heres the link to the 19"

And the 22"

i have the acer you posted, and my lil brother has the one i am about to link. If you can fork out the extra 20 bucks this 22" is much nicer.

I have that same 22" Acer and I love it. I say spend the extra money to get the 22", you won't regret it. I'm getting ready to purchase a second monitor as well.

I'm using dual monitors (17" + 22") and It's nice, but most games don't use dual monitors, and if they do you end up with a thick black line down the middle of your view (read: edge of the two monitors combined)
I say go for the single 22". If you can, take a quick trip down to your local BestBuy and ask about the Samsung SyncMaster 220VM. Clearance sale at $145 in some places (I got mine there :thunb. It's really nice!
p.s., don't call in, the employees will buy it before you can get there.
