    Dell 2005FPW as TV / Console Gaming Screen

    just in case anyone hits this old thread, I was wrong... found the VD-Z3 works great with the 2005fpw. It IS running at the TRUE 1280x720 for 720p, NOT reducing horizontal res to 960--guess it was just my old monitor. Be sure to set the transcoder to sync RGBs, not RGBHV. RGBs looks excellent...

    What's the best 23" LCD on the market?

    I've been shopping for a bigger chunk of glass too...lusting over the 16x10 aspect ration units running at 1920x1200--sweat work area. You lose a LOT of surface area going wide-screen though, so if your vision isn't too hot or you like to sit far from the screen, a 4x3 panel would probably be...
