A bit pricey by today's standards.

I have this one:
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...&sku=S197-2016
but when I purchased mine 6 months ago the price was $229 after
rebate. And it took 3 months to get the rebate. Not sure if this
would be available in Europe or if they would ship it there..

The biggest single concern with a widescreen monitor is that you
*must* have a video card that is capable of producing the exact
resolution specified for the monitor. For these 20.1" models that
would be 1680 x 1050.

Working with the wide monitor is a dream. I can easily have two
documents open side by side, such as an accounting program and an
excel spreadsheet, which greatly simplifies and expedites the process
of transferring information from one document to another.

Good luck

Before you buy the monitor, make sure your display card will support it.
If not, you have the choice to buy a regular monitor, or buy a new
display card at the same time as you buy the monitor.
