Man have I found a new love. The Dell 2005fpw 20.1" widescreen LCD display.

I got it the other day mainly to make my life easier when doing design work, but being the gamer I am I had to try MAME out on it.

While most games play the same, one genre that's way better IMO is shooters. For horizontal the wide aspect gives you a lot of space and seems like a more natural fit that the standard 4:3, and for vertical shooters I can rotate the screen into portrait mode so I can also play them in the correct aspect.

And as an added plus I can now browse DP with a big enough window so I don't have to scroll everytime someone posts a huge pic :)

Reminds me of putting Ikaruga sideways on my widescreen. Sure, it's sideways, but the play doesn't suffer any, and it looks great, and is HUGE.
