OPINION PLEASE

For the technically inclined, please educate me. Is this lcd any good? Will the 864x480 resolution ruin someone's eyes who use the computer all day?

I assume you can play 4:3 games correctly (i.e. CS, GTA3, etc) by using the FULL screen right?

I guess it also provides 1600:1200 for the computer, right?

16ms refresh rate is impressive for gaming, isn't it?

Anybody heard of this company?




If you guys can answer all my questions, I'd certainly appreciate it. Thanks!..........

Er... 864x480 is painfully low. I would imagine that's the native resolution. So changing from that would be horrible. This is a dud.

Damn, I was so hyped up from the title too...

Oops, 10x post...



Actually it was only 2, but after thinking of a 10x post, this doesn't seem so bad, does it?

Its a 16:9 aspect-ratio LCD monitor with 864 x 480-resolution TV.
It will down convert 1600X1200 signals.

864X480 native on a 22" will be big blocky and crap, dont get it to use as a PC monitor.
