Mhm... :hmm:

Need to try this.. hehe

You might be right, but what do you do when you can't use widescreens?

Use the edges as pinup board!!:lol:

Good one! :up:

I have two Samsung DVD players. They are ok...and I mean, just ok. Then again, I did not pay a lot for them and you get what you pay for. However, I'm happy with them. My Samsung LCD screen I'm extremely happy with. It is build very well and I do not notice light bleed through as Zachstar is talking about. In fact, I do not know what it is so I could be looking at it and not even know light bleed was occuring. At any rate, the one I have has two built in speakers. They suck but it does not matter because I use Logitech 5.1 speaker system. A few mentioned Viewsonic and they have always been a good screen company since I can remember. LG has a nice LCD monitor out. Your Acer I do not believe will be the same quality as the Samsung, LG and Viewsonic.

I'd tend to agree.:yep: These I have found so far within my price range:
LG W2252TQ-PF 22" 2ms
LG W2242T-BF 22" 5ms
Samsung 22" 2233BW 5ms
Samsung 22" 2243BW 5ms
Samsung 24" 2433BW 5ms
Viewsonic 22" VX2240W-2 2ms
ViewSonic 22" VX2262WM 2ms
ViewSonic 22" VX2255WMB 5ms
The 24" the most expensive, does any stand out?:D
Thanks.
Edit: Just sent an email off for Price & Availability for the 2433BW!

These are all good. Just take a look at the response time. 2ms I believe is the better of the two response times. I forget. I would probably narrow down the list to either the Samsung or Viewsonic because of my experiences with these companies and the quality.

Also, check what hook ups they have. HDMI, analog, digital. My Samsung has analog and digital. HDMI is for digital TV. At least that is what my digital TV has to run digital signals. I did not get HDMI because I will not watch TV on my computer monitor. I have a 37 inch widescreen for that. For the full effect of the LCD monitor, go with digital hook up. Just make sure your vid card has digital output:up: You will notice a difference between analog and digital.

Due to my bad eye sight (getting old) the larger one appeals to me, the specs look good, has DVI and Analog RGB inputs::yep:

I'm still very nervous about dead pixels though!!:oops::roll:

Looks like a winner to me. Do not worry about a bad pixel. I have not seen one in years. The only time I remember see a bad pixel was when they first started shoving these out the door to consumers. I have never had a monitor lose a pixel. Check warranty on the product. Can always return if it looses a pixel. Let me know how you like it when you get it. :D

Get a new computer because anything past 2003 or so can support widescreen res.

Well I've placed the order,:D eta 2 to 3 weeks!!:dead::doh:

Must be swimming it over:88)

Probably!! Was one of the lowest prices I've seen (AU $365) here in Australia & is at a local shop here, so yes probably coming from Korea by ship!:lol:
I hate being patient!!:yep:

The computer may, but not the module (desktop) expander I use. Which locks me into using regular LCD monitors. :down:

Fixed Aspect Ratio
 

Although I haven't yet got it I would like to be able to play SH3 in wide mode without stretching, according to some members this is done by Fixed Aspect Ratio, and most say only nVidia has it!!:cry:
I have an ATI HD4850 and run Tray tools (no ccc).
Can I utilize Fixed Aspect Ratio and what other software do I need, is Hydravision used for this?:-?
