I'd recommend going to some of the stores in your area and trying to find those models in a working display so you can see how they look and perform.

Just get the cheapest, and save the money for parts that actually matter. LCD monitors don't break down unless you press on it. Also, avoid that "Wide Screen" monitor if you want to play games, since they don't support non-standard screen dimensions.

hmmm...you can adjust the aspect ratio whether to be forced in applications or not...and it depends on your video card where to do that...so if you have a 1280 x 800 display(widescreen) and playing a 800 x 600 app, if you dont force to keep aspect ratio, the excess edges will be just black borders...so it's not that it doesnt support, it has to be configured.

what i dont recommend is your choice of 20" screens...you can get 19" better and cheaper with not that much difference from a 20", plus a lot of 19" are widescreen too...good for movies, and good for games...esp if you playing fps, widescreen is cool...
