Well, according to NewEgg at least, both monitors are "fully HDTV-ready with the maximum 1920x1200 resolution supporting up to the 1080p (1920 x 1080, progressive) high definition format."
That's waaaay too big. This is going on my desk as a replacement for my 19" CRT monitor which has developed some nasty burn-in. I just figured that as long as I was getting a new monitor, I might as well get one that could use my PS3 to it's full potential so I don't have to leech off my...
I've researched this subject quite a bit and I'm about 99.9% positive that HDCP is only required for watching movies. HDCP and the Image Constraint Token that uses it is, after all, a product of the movie studios designed solely to prevent the piracy of hi-definition films. It wouldn't make much...
That site doesn't really tell me anything that NewEgg's listed specs didn't already. And as I said, listed specs and realworld performance aren't always equal. That's why I'm asking.

Acer AL2423Wdr
+ $100 cheaper
+ 1" larger screen
+ Better listed specs (I have no idea how accurate the listed specs really are)
- Apparently...
I've been checking out LCD monitors over at NewEgg and one in particular that's caught my eye is the 24" Acer AL2423Wdr. It's able to display up to 1920x1200 (meaning 1080p should work, right?) and it seems to be getting great reviews. The only problem is one that I haven't been able to get a...
