@chopin, 22-inch is incorrect for 16:9 monitors as they are actually 21.5-inch only. Many still mentioned them as "22-inch" even though they are not. tongue.gif

For 16:10 monitors, 22-inch is 22-inch... laugh.gif

Might be good for work, might not be good for gaming/movies as they are usually optimized at 1080p, if you were to watch a full 1080p movie on a 1200p monitor, it stretches the whole movie and makes the moving looks weird.
Most games nowadays that support widescreen formats have no problems with 16:10 monitors. That's because 16:10 is the original widescreen standard before 16:9 came along. As for your movies, very much depends on your player settings. If you had used "keep aspect ratio" then the movies will not be stretched... tongue.gif
