thanks....i realized mymistake with the AR but didn't bother to correct it
i think the only option will be to do the scaling via the driver. this panel is pretty impressive on the sheet and it is quite cheap compared with the Apple or bigger 23" panels. i''ll take it and i'll also keep my 17" LG 1730S just in case 
PS i just hate my country cuz imports are slow and i have to wait for the dealer to get it (romania)
I'd like to buy one and I have some questions regarding the scaling. I understand that there are no scaling settings, so I'm wondering how does the monitor handle 4:3 AR resolutions like 1280*1024. Does it scale to full screen or does it keep the AR fixed to display the image correctly? I'd appreciate if anyone who owns it can give me some info and some opinions regarding the overall quality of the monitor. My other option is a 16ms Philips (200W6C), which has scaling settings but higher latency. (only these two (and the apple but that's too expensive) can be found where I am so pls dont give any more options)
thanks
