dear experts...

i have a question here...was checking out on Dell 30" monitor and looks like the native resolution is 2560 x 1600. Question is if i am watching a normal AVI movie file, will it look very bad and pixelated ?

currently i'm using 22in with 1680 x 1050 native resolution and even though i use the normal 664 x 268 movie file, when i use full screen, although not sharp, but the quality is still very acceptable...

just wondering if this will not be the case if i change to 30 in with higher native resolution...

appreciate inputs...

also, i was thinking of using the 30" for Xbox gaming as well but then from other forum, i noticed that we have to change the screen resolution setting on Xbox...any users here got experience using PC monitor for console gaming?

thanks a million in advance!

Hi motel266,

I read from other forums that some dell ultrasharp monitors will have blank display when connect to console like xbox... Due to resolution compatible issue...

Any dell users here successfully connect to xbox?

Thanks!

P/s: i love to have mkv HD also but takes a long time for me to get it due to slow speed...

your 42in plasma has lower resolution than the PC monitor probably?
i read comments that for high resolution PC monitor, xbox got problem..display black screen...can help confirm?

any user here can confirm if LCD monitor with higher than 1080p resolution can work with Xbox 360?

i'm thinking of getting a LCD monitor to share between my PC and Xbox...but i've read reports that the LCD screen will turn black when connected to Xbox...due to Xbox can't support up to 1440 resolution or something like that....

thanks for your help in advance....

hi,

I noticed not many discussion on 27" monitor...is there any drawback on having 27" monitor? eg. size too big and not as sharp as 24" or 23"...

i'm considering 27" but when I read recent posts...mostly not related to 27" ...

any good recommendation for 27" monitor btw...
thanks!

yes yes... I dunno how to explain but I guess your board circuitry or something inside got problem...

my 22" Samsung monitor kena same case a few months back but after repair...works fine...you try monitor and see..over time..the blink duration will get longer and longer....

repair cost RM70 for me...so you decide urself if it's worth it...

my location is penang...so if you're from penang...PM me and I will let you know...

so far the repair works fine...my monitor still working well...

hi djlah,

what about if budget flexible a bit...what will be your recommendation?
i mean not necessary buy budget panel..

thanks...

Hi djlah,

I am actually looking for a 27in monitor and was zooming into Dell 27 Ultrasharp i think is 2713HM...

any comments from you why you choose S2740L ? I'd like to hear if you already did some background study and analysis between the models..

thank you in advance..

hi all,

i'm thinking of getting a 27" monitor and hook it up with my desktop PC as well as my Xbox 360...

U2713HM looks to be a pretty decent choice but it only has 1 HDMI port, else I was thinking to connect HDMI from both my XBOX and desktop PC to the monitor....

any other choices i have out there that will make the connection easy?

or i may just need to plug in and out the speaker output between the monitor and my desktop PC...

hmm...thanks!

Exactly!!! I am thinking of dual hdmi port so I only need to connect my pc speaker to the audio out from monitor...

I prefer dell but will check out the brands u recommended... thank you !!!

Oh..U2713HM apparently when use hdmi can only display 1080p and not native resolution ohhh...

no solution, i asked this question recently also and there's no solution...continue to swap ur cable..

unless there's a splitter for ur sound input then maybe can use that...
