What you said makes sense for personal entertainment. However, my next question to you is since students have limited spending power like you mentioned, why not settle on a more affordable 19-incher or smaller panel on the first place. At the end of the day, I guess it's a matter of priority...

Kinda puzzle me why u believes DVI is a straight through interface? An example of LCD monitor that bypasses all signal processing is the Dell 30-incher, simply because it does not comes with a video processor. Perhaps some expert can clarify on the scanning frequency myth for LCD monitors...

Yes of course, but for convenience or serious viewing? That's the million dollar question. For true in movie experience, nothing beats a big screen. I will opt for my 80" screen home theater system. Even that is too small in my opinion, 100" will be perfect. Phil

DVI as a digital interface does not requires any analog-to-digital conversion. This minimizes signal degradation during the transmission process. But the signal can still be subjected to scaling or deinterlacing depending on the actual format supplied. Pardon me but are you suggesting that...

I don't have the VGA cable for the 360. Phil

LCD monitors have native refresh rate of 60Hz. The video processor will take in whatever input signal and convert it to 1920 x 1200 @ 60hz for the LCD panel. Phil

Funky? Doubt so.. I'm running my 360 on 1080p with my FP241W for days. No problem at all. This sounds more like a case of compatibility issue. There are three frequencies for 1080p, 24Hz, 50Hz and 60Hz. Hence if you supply a 24Hz signal from a say Pioneer Blu-ray player, definitely nothing...

PS3 comes with an optical (Toslink) output. You can use that to route multichannel surround sound to your A/V receivers and processors. Phil

My setup... Ex Sony G420 user here. Phil

Top: 4:3 to 16:9. Bottom: 16:9 to 16:10. Form your own conclusion. To me, 1:1 is not an issue. Any serious movie viewing should be done on big screens instead. Phil
