1920 x 1080 vs 1920 x 1200

I never implied it could do 1.1 pixel mapping. I can still run 1600x1200 on my monitor or any 4.3 resolution for older games for that matter.

I thought chizow was talking about aspect scaling at first and than he implied pixel mapping which I never said it could.

I just ordered a Westinghouse L2610NW-SP which does 1920x1200. Got it for 239.99 shipped. I will watch some movies on it, but mostly for gaming.

1920x1200 for me. MORE RESOLUTION IS KEY! less scrolling, more estate in games. smaller pixels (if screen size is static)

Movies look THE SAME with black bars or not, you dont notice it black bars or black lcd bezel, pretty sure when i have a movie on, i dont look at either of those; I LOOK AT THE MOTION PICTURE!

I like 1920x1200 for desktop real estate, but sometimes I'll run my 1920x1200 LCD at 1920x1080 (letter boxed) because I find 16:9 more pleasing than 16:10 for some games. Games like WoW with a lot of UI I prefer at 16:10, but a game like Crysis I prefer at 16:9 - plus I tend to get a few extra FPS out of the game as well. Honestly, I initially tried 16:9 with Crysis when I was tweaking it for max fps, and I noticed I kinda liked it that way. Although, I can only get 1920x1080 to run 1:1 properly with my LCD with ATI cards. For some reason 1920x1080 with 1:1 pixel mapping doesn't work right with my Dell 2407WFP with any NVIDIA card, even though every other common rez will do 1:1 just fine. /shrug

You implied that it can do 1600x1200 resolution, which it can't. What it can do Is display a 1600x1200 image, which is not the same thing. It's kind of how you can view a 3500x2000 camera image on your computer by "fit to screen" or whatever.

It is not displaying 1200 lines - it is shrinking those 1200 lines down to 1080.

Do you even have a 1080p monitor? I do and it can do 1600x1200. I never said it wasn't scaled. :roll:

Yes I have a 1080p monitor. When you say that it can do 1600x1200 you're implying that it can display at 1600x1200 resolution, which is not going to happen on a monitor that is only 1080 pixels high. Displaying at 1600x1200 res and displaying a 1600x1200 image that's shrunk are two completely different things.


Go into control panel and try to set your res to 1600x1200.

This has to be one of the dumbest debates I've read on this forum in my 5 years here. A 1920x1080 CAN'T do 1600x1200. Period. End of story. Give it up. It is physically impossible.

Maybe this will help you understand... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...3DSje0&feature=related

Then what's your point? My 640x480 monitor can display 2560x1600, just not 1:1...

You were wrong, you just can't admit it...

Do you want me to take a picture with a digital camera? I have the option to run 1600x1200 resolution in my panel. It's scaled to fit the entire screen.

Show me a 640x480 monitor that can display 2560x1600 first. It might not be 1.1 pixel mapped but it can do it. When I view a webpage from top to bottom of my LCD at 1600x1200 I can see further than 1920x1080.

1920x1080

1600x1200

You can clearly see that 1600x1200 can view more from top to bottom.

Self ownage for what? My monitor supports 1600x1200 resolution. It says in the manual.

Do you have anything to add or it's just funny to you when I clearly illustrated my monitor doing 1600x1200 and showing more viewing space in height.

 

[SSChevy2001]

IMO 1080P is great for gaming. If you really feel for some reason you need to run a 4:3 resolution you should be able to run 1440x1080 at 1:1.

are you sure that your monitor is not a 1920x1200 model? what monitor do you have?

 

[WelshBloke]

Azn, what monitor do you have?

Yeah...and it's squashed vertically and stretched horizontally. I really have to explain this to you? We know you can scale a resolution your monitor doesn't have the pixels for. Of course, you didn't even scale it correctly...:laugh:

You can display a widescreen resolution on a 4:3 monitor, too. That's not exactly helpful either.

 

[Face2Face]

I have a 24" 1080 monitor. I love it for games and movies, i aslo owned a 28" 1920X1200 Lcd and i have to say i like the 24" 1080 Lcd a lot better. i like the true widescreen feel. I do a lot of gaming and it is === Perfect!! i own a ACER H243H

Azn has no clue whatsoever what's going on and I feel terribly embarrassed for him.
