does that native resolution on my syncmaster 245bw samsung monitor24 inch mean i can and should run things in 1080i or 720p?thanks.SHOEGOO
I currently have the same monitor as you. The dimension ratio for 1080i/p are 16:9 and the max resolution of your monitor is 16:10. If you're playing games set it for the max resolution of the monitor and not 16:9 (1920x1080). The screen looks stretched and odd if you put it at 1920x1080. So, are you wondering whether you can hook up your PS3 to the monitor? I don't see why you can't with the appropriate adapter. Then again, I could be wrong so look it up before you do it.
720p = monitor res of 1280x720 1080p = monitor res of 1920x1080 1080i = interlaced res of 1920x1080 (horizontal lines, looks like a poo crt)
if 1080p is there you'll be using that, otherwise 720p
Nice choice on monitor btw! I'm using 205bw (smaller), make sure you enable MagicColour when playing on your PS3, looks awesome, i use it all the time now! When I decide to turn it off to compare it to what I was looking at, it's like lookign at black and white!!

The differences are barley noticable and nothing looks particularly out of proportion, you wouldn't be able to tell unless you were told, or custom to playing on a 16:9 screen.
P.S You want a HDMI/DVI adaptor, though you knew that already. DVI doesn't carry sound, so youll want to look at other options for sound, but you knew that too. Incase you don't, I stuck some stuff in a post, the link is in my sig.
thanks guys.i use the ps2 conection for sound to a sweet little computer sub woofer and spearkers,the monitor for some reason says when doing automatic 1080p but i cant see it?so i go back to 1080i and can,on the cross media bar 1080i looks crisper a little then 720p but what really should i put it at for games?
You can't see 1080p on your monitor? I didn't think TFT monitors were capable of 1080i pictures. My monitor (205bw) doesn't allow me to view 1080i, but I can see 1080p fine, just i need to get rid of the dialogue box telling me it's not running at "optimum resolution). So you really can't see 1080p at all?
no its weird the box comes up like yours does too but in 1080i?mabey i have it set wrong?can you help me do you got all the boxes checked?or only 720p and 1080p?
