Unfortunately, ATI offers these more advanced scaling options in their high end cards only. They might include such an option for all cards in future driver versions though, since ATI often has been criticized for this.
Whereas nVidia cards generally support fixed aspect ratio scaling by default.

Since you said that it will be used for video a lot, you might also want to look into widescreen models, because recently even 20 inch widescreen monitors have come down to price regions close to those of 19 inch monitors.

I dont know if this shop (oyyy.co.uk) is any good. But for example, the Viewsonic VX2025wm, one of the models we reviewed not too long ago (overall rating "very good") retails for 250 pounds there (at this time out of stock though).

Is there a program or any other way to help me keep the games looking right?

Hello,
Yes! Both nVidia and ATI provide an option for this in their driver settings when connected via DVI.

Hi,
glad you like it so far.

As to calibration:
You may want to read this and/or try this online monitor calibration tool.

good luck

3) Can my LCD have a hardware dysfunction so he can not raise up to 60fps ?

Hi!

1. Please specify what kind of graphics card you have.
If it's new, it might be a driver issue.
2. Probably not. It would have to be very old to not support WSXGA.
3. Highly unlikely. Please specify your monitor model.

Die "Optische Reaktionszeit" liegt bei 95% Wahrscheinlichkeit zwischen 180 und 360 msec und bei 50% Wahrscheinlichkeit zwischen 200 und 240 msec. Der Median beträgt 220 msec, für Frauen 225 msec und für Männer 215 msec.

Ausgehend von 215ms mittlerer Reaktionszeit
und der sich aus deinem Beispiel

Zitat

[...]durchaus eine Rolle, ob sie 26,6 ms bei 75 Hz am TFT mit gepuffertem Bild oder 8,3 ms bei 120 Hz am CRT nutzen[...]

ergebenden Differenz von 26,6 - 8,3 = 18,3 ms
wäre man bei einem prozentualen Zeitvorsprung von ((18,3 / 215)*100)) ca 8.5 %

Während man, wie du richtig sagst, diesen zunächst minimal erscheinenden Unterschied subjektiv nicht direkt zu erkennen vermag (man stelle sich vor eine Gruppe von Testperson wird gebeten zu schätzen welches von zwei -nicht nebeneinander stehenden- TFTs das um 20 ms von beiden schnellere sei. -> Voraussichtlich wird die Fehlerrate der Schätzungen nach einiger Zeit gegen 50% gehen.),
so ist es für einen Spieler von Egoshootern trotzdem insofern relevant, als (gegenüber ansonsten gleichstarken fikitiven Gegnern) ein konstant um 8,5 % verspäteter Empfang des "Ereignisflusses" der Spielwelt sich für den Spieler nach nicht allzulanger Zeit in der Spielestatistik bemerkbar machen wird.
Wenn zwei, nehmen wir einmal an, ebenbürtige Spieler beide nach 215 ms ihre Reaktion ins Spiel zurückgeben (jedoch um 18,3ms zueinander zeitversetzt), so werden sich über den Verlauf des Spiels hinweg die Momente, innerhalb derer der verlierende Spieler die richtige (lebensrettende/gewinnbringende) Aktion (Bewegung/Klick) hätte ausführen müssen, einige Male stochastisch mit dem ihm fehlenden Zeitfenster von 18,3 ms überschneiden.
Zusammengefasst ausgedrückt, um also von 18,3 ms zu profitieren, benötigt man nicht zwangsläufig die Fähigkeit auch innerhalb von 18,3 ms zu reagieren oder diese als Differenz visuell zu erkennen.

Yup, same thing, different name.

Look, just for proving your theory wrong I would really like to remove the 720 min limit for you but I simply can't. And I don't see how anyone can feel insulted because of this. There is no evil intent behind it, nor is there any sinister censorship going on . If anything, it's more like the opposite. I voluntarily spent my time here talking about and helping people out with LCD stuff, without getting anything out of it (apart from the "helper's high" effect maybe ;)).

peace mate

uhm,... censorship would be if I edited somebody's post against his/her will. Whereas not being able to edit something that oneself said is more like... hmm...maybe real life? People can't go back in time and undo what they said. I think the reason that this rule had been laid down back then was to ensure the integrity of the discussion process. Besides, I don't have the administrative options to change the 720-minute limit anyways.

I just received this PM from you, but your profile settings pervent you from receiving any PMs. Thus I'm answering this way.

It has been said that resolutions may be curbed by the HDCP embedded device by 25 percent, meaning the native resolution
will be reduced by 25 percent. It may be smoke and mirrors and it may not.

I heard about this, too, and afaik, the above is true, again, for HDCP content only. The HDCP embedded device won't scale down DVI signals of normal PC use. The reason they announced this "possibility" of still being able to watch HDCP content at reduced resolutions (and that is not via DVI, but analog signals only) was to fight off arguments complaining that customers wouldn't be willing to make another purchase given that many have just recently shelled out a lot of money for their home cinema systems.
So it basically comes down to HDCP signals only, - at least for now. It's really hard to say what the future might have in store, particularly in the light of Windows Vista.

cheers

you're right, it is in fact better suited for the Hardware board.
I believe our board sections will be diversified further as the user base of the English board keeps growing. Currently, English hardware related questions go into the 'Help' section most of the time. So, I guess that's where its new home gonna be for now.

As to your question:

... I understand that PowerColor Video Graphics Cards do not
support HDCP. Do these cards support other monitor functions in a monitor
that is HDCP enabled?
Answer: "Not at all"

The person you spoke with must have confused it with something else, or otherwise he is simply misinformed. The right answer would have been:
"Yes, they support basically every function you can think of (PC use) with the exception of dealing with specific content that was encrypted using HDCP".

Cards that don't support HDCP - like the one from PowerColor - (and basically every other graphics card being in use on this planet right now) will have absolutely no problem running on any HDCP TV or monitor. HDCP comes into play when you e.g. insert a copy-protected HD-DVD or, more generally, playback HDCP-protected content via any other form of media distribution (certain HDTV channels, future Internet streams, etc.). Most of this is still in the future (see Windows Vista) and has yet to arrive in everyday user reality. So, at least as I see it, there is currently no point in waiting for cards that are capable of HDCP (or to be more exact: cards equipped with an HDMI output) .
HDMI is backward-compatible with DVI. This means that a DVI source can drive an HDMI monitor, or vice versa, by means of a suitable adapter or cable.
If it's got DVI, you're good to go.

I moved the longer version of the posting you made on the German-speaking board section over here to the English, and deleted the original there.
I hope that's ok with you.
Btw: What's with the double registration? =)

Hi!
Actually, (here in Europe, that is) there are currently two cards available supporting HDMI .
One being the 128MB X1600 Pro card by Sapphire, and the other card being the All-In-Wonder X1800XL by built by ATI.

And quite frankly, that's two cards too many.
I'm still hoping that HDCP will be met with consumer refusal, as I regard it as a "technology built to prevent technology". But hey, that's just me.
</rant over>

24 inch Acer display AL2423W (1920 x 1200, DVI, 6ms GTG, 1000:1, 500(!) cd/sqm)
just started popping up in online store across Europe.
Not too bad of a 24 inch monitor for the sub 1000 € range. After merely offering an analog version with the otherwise identical AL2416Ws for quite some time, it seems like Acer has finally gotten around to realising that there is actually a point in including DVI with expensive displays.
I hope the speakers will be removable.

For the most part, it's due to demand and supply. Black displays, for example, are not as sought after as grey/silver ones. This makes the production of black displays slightly more expensive, since production facilities can't be run at full capacity when manufacturing any given product in smaller quantities.

Hi,
displaysearch.com pretty much covers it all from on an industry and economic point of view. While they don't delve too deep into techology aspects, reading market reports provides you with the names of the key players in the industry. Then you can continue your search based on the manufacturer names you found for mobile devices/handsets.

If the the shop's description of the monitor claims "170 degrees", then customers should be able to rely on that they are in fact buying an MVA panel monitor.
In case they still send you a TN panel device, you are going to notice it immediately and are therefore entitled to a full refund or have it exchanged.

But I guess the Belinea or the Acer have a slight edge over the Xerox anyway.
