Why do you need 1:1 mapping so much? You have a console you plan to hook it up to?

I think BeHardware is pretty respectable.

1:1 pixel mapping on the monitor is pretty useful when drivers cannot support 1:1 (for example, ATI drivers, IINM).

Speaking of 1:1 mapping, has anyone tried this on a monitor that cannot support it? goldfries mentioned that 1:1 is possible with nVidia drivers, but i cant seem to find the option in my NV CP. Of course, this could be due to the non-widescreen monitor hooked up to my GC.

With all the 22 inch hype around, imma join the bandwagon too. wink.gif Plan to grab a 22 incher soon, but i still got some doubts.

Like all the other questions above:

Does Nvidia drivers support 1:1 mapping? Cuz AFAIK Samsung 226BW does not have that function. goldfries mentioned about 1:1 mapping via Nvidia drivers, but that could also be due to his monitor (Dell Ultrasharp) being able to support it by itself.

Anyone got anything bad to say about 226BW? tongue.gif This sounds strange but i'd like to know what i should and should not expect.

Thanks a bunch!

if you installed your graphics driver, you will get all the available resolutions. If you do not install the drivers however, you wont see high resolutions.

I thought it only displays whatever max resolution your monitor can support? Cuz i only get 1280 x 1024 on my 17" CRT.. unsure.gif

Must it be the drivers on the first page or all following drivers have that same function? Cuz Lost Planet is kinda screwed without 162.18 drivers..

Just grabbed a Samsung 226BW from AllIT this afternoon. Great display, no dead pixels (touchwood), but there's one little problem...

I cant get the scaling in NV CP to work.

It keeps skipping back to the setting above the moment i hit 'Apply'.

Any ideas?

Are you talking about the icons on the desktop? Dont worry, the icons will look exactly the same as normal monitors as long as the selected resolution matches the monitor's native (original) resolution.
