Where do I find the chipset revision? I thought you couldn't do 1:1 pixel mapping over VGA.

It's an 8600 GT equivalent. I can run all Source games on high at the native res, it's just that Left 4 Dead struggles a little bit at that resolution and I'd like to bump it down below 1440x900 to increase the fps.

My laptop's videocard (Quadro 570M) has only a VGA input.

Just tried two more drivers, same exact thing. Except for 1680x1050 and 1440x900, the other 16:10 resolutions will switch to lower 4:3 resolutions (either 1024x768 or 800x600) in-game and on the desktop. The only thing I can think of is that maybe this monitor can't display those resolutions...

It's in any game. 1152x720 goes to 1280x720 I've even tried three different drivers. No change.

So what are 16:10 resolutions? I tried 1280x800 in-game and on the desktop. The weird thing is that at 60Hz the image goes to 800x600, but at 75Hz the image goes to 1024x768. From what I've found 4:3 resolutions work fine, but every 16:10 except native and 1440x900 will revert back to a...

I have an LG L227WTG hooked up to my laptop through VGA. The native 16:10 1680x1050 resolution looks great, but with some games I need to run the monitor outside of its native resolution which leads me to this question/problem. I'd rather keep within the 16:10 aspect ratio, but certain...

Where in socal are you located? If it's in or around LA I'd be interested. What year/condition is the monitor in?

Yeah, I'm going to shoot them an email asking just that and for some higher quality pictures of the unit. From what I've read May-June 2003 is the last manufacturing date for the FW900. Sound right?

Sorry for the double post, but I also found this one: http://www.accurateit.com/details.asp?iid=468 Grade B refurbished. According to them this means it can have small to medium scratches on the screen and minor screen burn. $400 including shipping, but with a 6 month warranty as opposed...

This thread is insane, but in a good way. :) I registered to inquire about this monitor and I hope with some help I can have it on my desk sometime next week. http://cgi.ebay.com/Sony-24-Flat-Super-Wide-Screen-Monitor-GDM-FW900_W0QQitemZ360051042663QQcmdZViewItem?_trksid=m20.l1116...
