LED LCD monitor at 1920x1200?

The Acer v243w is 1920x1200. Is a great monitor (with 400 candela, which is a tad bright). Only problem I have with it is when I keep my door open for a while (in winter): when the room temp goes down too fast, the monitor starts to flicker when set too bright. When I close the door again, al becomes normal again... weird, heh? But a great monitor nevertheless. Coming in at around 200 Euro, not expensive either :)

seeing IPS first hand next to TN, IPS is far far superior.

well 16:10 is on the way out except for people with big budgets. You can get them but expect a 1920 x 1200 monitor to cost the same as two 1080p monitors with both of them being the same quality. Because 16:9 works better for movies and games more people want 16:9. 16:9 isn't always less viewing space. 22" monitors were mostly 1680 x 1050 but now they are mostly 1920 x 1080 which give significantly more space. imprezawrx500

I think your argument about is null. As I said before, 99% of the time you can force any 4:3 resolution your monitor can support. So instead of being forced to use 1280x1024 on a 16:9 monitor - create a custom resolution of 1440x1080 in your video card's control panel, and then it should show up in your games resolution setting. If it does not for some reason, you might be able to edit the game's configuartion file, or force a widescreen hack. I guess it's more work, but either way, it's not really a problem. If it was, I wouldn't be playing Ultimate Doom at 1920x1080.Animatronic64

[QUOTE="mattpunkgd"][QUOTE="Aldouz"] AGREE... 1080p is the future and it will become standard for high resolution in near future... and 720p for mid resolution...Aldouz

Infact there really is no such thing as high or low resolution, it all depends on the size something many people dont quite understand.

On a mobile phone with a 2" display, even QVGA resolution looks crystal clear.

i know of some Apple Cinema displays fit that res and LED backlit but they are damn expensive

"Apple expensive" should be a new term for hardware that is outrageously priced compared to the specs. Sort of like how extremely hard video games are called "Nintendo hard."

Why? The 27 inch Apple LED Monitor is the same price as a 27 DELL monitor with the same resolution etc. Not really opverpriced unless Dell is aswell.. Both are $999.99.....

For some reason if I make the Dell one a link to the site, Gamespot doesn't like it, but Apple works fine :P

Necro because I want Nameless to be my friend since he understands everything.

16:9 is disgusting.

I've been looking for a 120Hz 1920x1200 H-IPS display for the last 2 months and there's still nothing. Do I continue to wait? Do I get a high end 60Hz panel to replace my aging LCD? Do I go 120hz and grab 2 16:9 displays and set em up in portrait mode? The age of my current LCD is killing me and I can't stand waiting, but I have to because the market is flooded with idiocy.

I run a Dell P1130 and HP f2304. The CRT for my old games, the LCD for everything else because CRTs have been destroying my eyes over the years.

As you can see, I run with some of the highest end stuff (for its time), and want to go higher, not lower, but the illiterate folks that make up the majority of the world dominate the market now. Funny, I always thought 16:10 was for monitors and 16:9 was for HDTVs. What happened?
