    Thank you for the insights, HDJK. I'm sold then on the 24 incher. A TV and an Mac monitor in one display. That will be sweet.

    NEC LCD2690

    to travbomb: What's your opinion on this series--the 26" or the 24"--on their viability as a TV display. If fed with a 1080p source--and 1080p source only--can it equal or surpass the video output of, say, a Sony or Sharp 1080p display? I'm aiming for the 24" as a Mac monitor and as a...

    NEC Multisync LCD2490WUXi-BK

    I wish travbomb would drop in here and give us some news. I am also waiting for reviews on this unit. Although I am just concerned with how it will display movies in 1920x1080 resolutions. Meaning, will it be good enough as a computer monitor and as a DVD/HD display. I'm down to two choices...

    Can you play a DVD with a 1.85:1 AR and see if it retains the bars at the top and bottom? And screens would be nice. ;)

    The Vantage HD can. It can output a 1920x1200 rez and provides custom output ARs. But the price will leave you cold.

    Oh, I was not referring to a dvd player. A scaler can do it but it turns out the scaler model I have can only offer two output AR; the higher model offers custom output AR.

    What if a device can output that 1080 and at the same time configure that device to output to 16x10 display, will the Benq then stretch the image or no?

    Do you have an upconverting DVD player and use it to feed a 1080i thru the HDMI and see if it still stretches the image? I'm asking coz' DVD players have AR control in them.

    There's nothing wrong with your statement. It is the IQ of the Benq tech which is too damn low to measure. The display is stretching a hi def signal, that is, 1080 to 1200. You can see it and proved it. Case closed. What were you using to feed a 1080 rez? Is there an aspect ratio control...

    Man, I can't wait for the results either. I hope it doesn't stretch the HDMI. And try to test an anamorphic DVD in a 16x9 ratio [1.85:1].

    Yes, rabhw... try to play an anamorphic DVD with a 16x9 ratio like, say, 1.85:1---those won't give you any black bars if displayed in a 16x9 monitor. Let's see if the sucker will stretch it to 16x10. I have a feeling it will stretch only hi-def resolutions like 720 or 1080. But I could be wrong...

    Any updates yet? I'm hoping against hope that it won't stretch 720 or 1080 to 1200. Thank you for the pics.

    Well, since we are taking requests here, do you have access to a scaler? If you do, can you feed it its native rez and play a DVD in the HDMI and see if correctly displays the image? Highly appreciate it if you can. Thanks!
