im a little bit confuse. lets say i wanted to buy benq FP241WZ for my pc n upcoming ps3 because of the inputs u get, and i run it on 720p, will the image look nice/sharp? or pixelated? sorry if this is a noob question, but the native res for FP241WZ is 1920x1200 rite? n wat happens if i run my ps3 on 720p n pc on 1280x1024? i know that if u dont run it on native res the quality is bad. ive done my research here but got confused and still dont understand so i hope u guys can help me out

from my link on pc via dvi: "This worked just as you would expect. Run it at 1920x1200 and the screen is pixel perfect for all modes. Run it in 1280x1024, and it stretches wide in Full mode, scales with the proper aspect ratio in Aspect mode, and goes to perfect 1:1 mapping centered in the 1:1 mode. (no pics, it just worked right) "
what does it mean? the Aspect mode does the ratio thingy is it?

QUOTE(AlamakLor @ Aug 31 2007, 10:46 PM) it will be stretch according to scale, or you can play it @ 1:1 and u will have surrounding black bars. Man I need to pick up another 241 for dual monitor  this is the best lcd out there hehe more importantly...why would u wanna run the ps3 @ 720p? I've always have mine @ 1080p thats what i thought. coz not all ps3 games are (correct if im wrong) 1080p rite ? so if the game runs on 720p, what would it look like? QUOTE(ruztynail @ Aug 31 2007, 11:24 PM) oh really?? my 22"inch DELL 1680x1050 has an ratio of 16:10 not 16:9. and its not stretched and doesnt hv black bars as i initially thought. LCD these days are smart. and.. no point putting at 1080p cause like i hv always said in all LCD threats.. it doesnt freaking make any difference.. only applies at 40 inch and above. and a note. only 24" and above has 1080p applicable for LCD monitors. so do wat u please. is there such thing if i buy 22", running my ps3 on 1080p n the monitor scales it to 1680x1050??

u cant run 1080p on 22".. the max u can go is 720p. u'd get a blank screen for setting it to 1080p.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Link. look at the last post. 1080p on 22". n at the 2nd page 1st post said he is using 22" samsung @ 1080p but the monitor scale it down. so is this true? can all 22" monitors do this? or only particular brands?

QUOTE(AlamakLor @ Sep 1 2007, 01:29 PM) It's not a question when you affirm something. yup, the bottom one is stretched. If you cannot see the difference, use a ruler and measure some objects  Like i said, it may be very subtle to some people. If it doesn't bother you, then good for you. But that doesn't mean you can live in ignorance and claim that because you can't see the difference, therefore it is not stretched. That's just similar to katak di bawah tempurung (wow damn, my malay still works! ahahaha) Anyway, nothing personal, just want to make myself clear.  haha i measuered some of the objects n the bottom one is stretched. but not really noticeable eh? at least not to me. hehe. hey have a look at this. is it true? 1080p on 22" ?

QUOTE(AlamakLor @ Sep 1 2007, 12:30 PM) What will it look like? it will look like 1080p @ 16:9 with black bars on top and bottom. The benq 241 is the best monitor, u wont go wrong with it. No dead pixels, no banding, awesome colors. I sold my 42" 1080p lcd to replace it with this benq simply because I have never seen an lcd TV that doesnt have banding issues. I was waiting for 1080p plasma to be out. Panasonic now has 1080p plasma, and I'm so getting the 50" 1080p viera when I settle down  one thing i should mention is that, oddly, when my wii is set to widescreen @ 420p, the bars are at the side...I suspect the wii is not really 16:9 @ wide screen. lol I bought my benq as soon as the AR firmware fix was out, that was around RM2800, the monitor can now be bought for <rm2500 here in Canada. so to clarify, if a game runs at 720p, the monitor will only have black bars on top and bottom but no side bars, right? n the picture is as clear/sharp as 1080p but it is actually 720p?? u know, when we change the res on our computer for example ur native res is 1280 x 1024 but then u changed it to 1024 x 768 of course the image will be a bit blurry right? so what im trying to say is whether this happens or not on ps3 using 24" @ 720p. whether the picture is blurry or sharp as its native res.
