Would a monitor with a native resolution of 19x12 be a bad choice for using an xbox 360 on? I am guessing that it should really be a monitor with 19x1080 but I'm not sure. Is there a current favorite for 19x1080 with HDMI and good picture quality? Thanks.
 
Just make sure you find a monitor that supports 1:1 pixel mapping or aspect ratio scaling. Those should leave the picture untouched. You'll have 60 pixel tall black borders at the top and bottom of your screen with 1900x1200.

Poke around the threads about 24" monitors here to get an idea of what is considered to be good. As far as I know there isn't one best 24" right now.
 
Where online is a good place to buy an lcd monitor with a good dead pixel policy? I am a little afraid of newegg since they need 8 dead pixels to qualify for a return I believe.
 
The Benq g2400wd is good for xbox use. Checkout the thread on it.

One thing though, it has a strange issue with borders in 1080p mode. There are fine white lines showing which some may find annoying. I can't remember if this affects all G2400W's but I have it. I use the HDMI in aspect mode with 720p selected on the xbox instead. None of the xbox games are 1080p native anyways bar a few.
