LG L246WP: SOLVED! - 1:1 screen resolution using DVI/HDMI & Component input
L246WP had user controlled 1:1 pixel resolution all along.
This WAS apparently an unresolved forum issue that I have just resolved. (I simply thought I should first consult the user manual. It is a PDF document so I searched for "1:1" and the exact page I needed appeared.)
When you connect the L246WP to an external source such as a set top box that receives over the air digital broadcast televison like I have, you can set the monitor to display in either full screen or 1:1 pixel mode. This function is only available when either DVI/HDMI or component input is used.
Here is how it is done.
Using either the DVI to HDMI cable and connecting to the set top box DVI output to the L246WP HDMI input or using the set top box component output to the L246WP component input, you first bring up the Input OSD and select either HDMI or component input. Next you bring up the OSD menu and select SCREEN. Then you select ARC. Here you will see two possible options: FULL or Original (1:1). If you want 1:1 pixel resolution check Original. If you want to use all of your screen real estate check full. (here you'll get some vertical stretching but the picture is, well... full.)
That's all there is to it.
I prefer DVI out from my set top box to HDMI input to the L246WP because I believe that the contrast is better and the colors more saturated than with component. But I have found that you need a strong clear digital broadcast signal to get an optimum picture without any edge artifacting. If I do get some distracting edge artifacting using the DVI to HDMI input I just switch to component and the problem goes away.
The LG L246WP is the greatest!
(Apparently as this was a problem with the Benq 24" model it hasn't been, at least since I got my L246WP, with the LG. That is if you take the time to read the user's manual.)
