Yes I know. But the problem with 1680x1080 is there's no standard 4:3 resolution that has 1080 pixel high, so it has to scale, and that doesn't look good on LCD.

Any particular reason you are choosing Dell?

Why not Samsung 2253BW ?

starboykb · 8th Oct 2008, 07:46 PM

thanks guys for the reply. the reason of going for Dell is because of price and warranty including the after service in my country are pretty good

.

Other brand doesnt offer that kind of service and only offer less than one year warranty

. Not to mention the price wasn't that attractive at all.

What country are you from

In Malaysia, Samsung has 3 years warranty

Same here in Canada. Plus they offer free shipping. Now that's a deal breaker

Hmmm that's true eh. I didn't think of it that way.

That's why I'm not a fan of wide screen monitors unless I'm using it purely for wide screen viewing, like home theater, PS3 etc... I don't like scaling.

Brunei, almost every PC hardware the pc shop sell here is less than one year. Only some of the dell stuff like lcd is 3 year warranty.

It's hard to find 4:3 monitors at a decent price where I live though. Either they're old models or they're much more expensive to their widescreen equivalents since they rarely have specials.

Yup, it's very hard to find now. I don't understand the trend of widescreen display for PC use. It's not practical at all. Reading documents is really a pain, unless you use just half of the screen.

My 24" 1920x1200 is fully used for PS3, and watching videos. I hardly use it for other things. My old and trusty 20" 1600x1200 gets the most usage.
