I have a  Hewlett Packard  "HP w20"

For graphics/rendering/3D-Modeling, videos/animations, DVD's the monitor is OK
For Office and development a wide-monitor is IMO generally better than
a 4:3-monitor.


"Gaming" - I can't say very much to this, because I'm using LINUX.


The monitor does have two horrible (and IMO absolutly useless)
integrated speakers. But this is not a specific problem of *this* monitor
the most integrated monitor-speakers  sounds terrible.
So I don't use them.

My conclusion:

I love this wide-monitor and never want back to a 4:3-monitor
