It'll be pixelated - you need to not watch it at your desk. Once you get more than 5 feet you should be fine. Don't let that put you off tho. It's simply because the monitor is much larger. You need HD content to make it look good.

oo icic...
if room not big enough for 5 feet distance then jia lat liau haha XD
haiz... normal anime dun hav hd de leh, need to sit backward 5 feet liew

[QUOTE]Who said anything about the positioning? It is the text quality that will be affected. You run anything other than the native, you get sucky text quality.[/QUOTE}

Oppss sorry, i'm new to wide screen monitor. what i'm asking is, emm..i base on the dell17" lcd for this example because i only used this LCD before only.
there is a button in the monitor which "auto adjust".

my 22" like dont have this function. correct me if i'm wrong.

Not all monitor has the same function. Some function are disabled when you connect via DVI. You can try connecting using analog and see if what you want will appear.

Actually, you can apply post processing effects to your picture to improve the picture quality. Especially on low res stuff, just doing something as simple as blend will improve the viewing experience by leaps and bounds.

anyone know what's the rated power consumption of E228WFP ? Is it still lower than a 17" CRT?

I just call Cherry and get myself a 22" cheapo Dell LCD monitor and extend the warranty to 5 years. And its all because of you guys I hate you all...!!!

haha, me myself also got tempted by u guys....but i would probably wait till next month after pc fair only deicde to get the dell 22" lcd or not...
I watch movie on my pc alot, and i really need a wider lcd, but since they said wider lcd is not suitable for lower quality movies....arghh.....

Widescreen movies are meant to be watched in widescreen. If you're switching from a 4:3 display, you'll notice how much diffence it makes in the size of the picture.

Agreed. Never watch widescreen in 4:3. THe picture will be off and it will appear stretched.

You got it wrong. The picture will only be streteched if you watch 4:3 media on widescreen. There is nothing wrong watching widescreen media using 4:3. All you get is 2 larger black bars on top and bottom.

i'm watching movie with my 22", i doono what u guys talking about 4:3 thingie? where can i check? i watch show on my bed. It is super fine man i tell u. Why i dont feel anythign big when watching 29" tv?


ahh..ic..so u suspect is the DVI cable causign this lar..hmm..i wonder why when connect DVI they disable it... mebbe later i try with VGA cable n tell u guys about it.! thanx

bcoz of higher native reso., it will appear jaggy a bit, maybe sit a little further from the screen then u ll feel better

re u sure it will be stretched? isnt it will just leave two black bars at the left right corner?

i just downloaded some720p and 1080p movie and trailers, and watched it via my 22"..damn its nice

It actually depends on the LCD, the setting and the type of connection. Try watching astro on a LCD TV, watching C.Ronaldo is like after he put on 20 pounds.

watching astro on 32" lcd tv not so good...

it looks pixelated... when I change to 4:3 format then only it looks okay/normal

but it leave a 2 black bars on the left & right

astro no HD content one ma... even dvd also around 480p only.. xbox360 can have 720p or 1080i, which is damn nice for ur screen lolz.

At the previous PC Fair I managed to buy some networking stuff and multifunction printer for lower price than at LYP. So I wouldn't say that the price is "roughly the same".

You should always set LCD to native resolution for maximum sharpness. At 1680x1050 on a 22" LCD the wording is still slightly bigger than on a 17" LCD.

Astro signal is 4:3 so if you want it to fit full screen on your LCD tv then it has to stretch to 16:9. Whenever you have to stretch a picture the quality will worsen. Watching in original format is best, but you have to live with the black bars on the sides.
