Unfortunately Dell's cheap U2412M doesn't have 1:1 or scale to aspect ratio. It only has 16:10, 5:4 and 4:3 scaling. It does not have 16:9 scaling.

In Dell's line up, you would have to buy Dell's U2410 for 1:1 or scale to aspect ratio (the 1280x720 output will be upscaled to 1920x1080) options on a 1920x1200 display, which is quite cost prohibitive for most people. Otherwise you would have to look at the other brands for these options.

hell yeah...i must b feeling so lucky now 2 b able 2 have the old samsung T240 16:10 monitor b4 samsung decided 2 ditch the 16:10 after that

I still prefer 5:4 for documents, movie should be 16:9, games 16:10

How do i check the aspect ratio? Is it by resolution? If so what is the aspect ratio of 2560 x 1440?

Edit
Checked the first page it was listed as 16:9. Anyhow is there a way to calculate the aspect ratio based on the resolution? Thanks

Ps.
I'm looking for a 27" 16:10 LED IPS monitor. Is there any such monitor? Thanks

It is just the smallest ratio, nothing special to it.

2560:1440 = 16:9, divide by 160 pixels.
1920:1080 = 16:9, divide by 120 pixels.
1024:768 = 4:3, divide by 256 pixels.

yes, agreed, but since i don't have the $ and the desk space for 3 monitors, i purchased a 24" 16:10 mon, which can handle all 3 functions and then some...

Thoughts on the 2560x1600 monitors? What about their availability?

Hehe..Me too..I used to own a 24" 1920*1200, the best resolution ever. Two documents side by side, good for movies, good for games.. But nowadays they launch the 23" with 1080 which abit shorter

Are there other monitors than dell 24 inch ips 1920x1200?

hmm, current in the market, dell 2412 seems to be the most available one, HP might have but it's IPS and costly. or the 2 following:

NEC EA243WM
or Asus PA248Q
from http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/366002-3...0x1200-monitors

if $ is a problem, try hunting for a used one in the garage sale section, i bought a hp 24" 16:10 from there too, sometimes got good stuff if you can wait...

Added on November 14, 2012, 2:49 pmgreat to know u r using this set up too. do you read pdf files a lot? for me i use the free pdf program call Foxit Reader, i set it to dis[play a pdf in the continuous facing mode to read two pages in 1 screen, and if i press F11 to full screen mode, wow, it's as good as reading the actual paper.

about the 23" model, yeah the 1080 is just a bit shorter making the height not high enuf - what a waste - it is movie friendly but not perfect for documents.

Added on November 14, 2012, 2:53 pm wuh, this will only be found on 27" or above, at least dell has. sure want it if i can afford it
but now 24" 16:10 is just nice for me.

Read the other day that there is a super long monitor coming out...

yeah it is LG's EA93 21:9:

http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/30/lgs-ea9...splay-hands-on/

while i have no issue with the width, i just feel sad that the is limited to 1080 (2560*1080), again on the short side, so not that useful for documents. ok this is only designed for entertainment, that's all.

interesting to read the readers' comments here:

too bulky for my desk...

Well... tech review sites in the West are reviewing the cheap strangely-branded IPS monitors with that resolution. They ordered them from eBay, but since we are closer...

dell is selling their flagship rm3399...wanna buy

that dell is 27" or 30"?

30 incher wey 27 incher between 1799-2199 i think

Guys guys! Can we look at these stuff instead of Dell for a moment?

If someone can bring them in, easy payment methods and affordable then they'll be very hot, Dell done that and very successful.
Anyway the specs does looks good... and price as well, not including tax and shipping.

Oh btw, this is thread discussion for display ratio... should bring this to main thread.

Planned something kick ass for 2013 Q1. Stay tuned for the mean time though, let's go back to buying Dell monitors
