Dell S2209W 22-inch

[john5527]

I am looking a buying this monitor. Does anyone know much about it? I see that the max resolution is 1920x1080. Does that mean that the native resolution is not the usual for a 22inch. My concern is how does this display a true HD movie? Does it just shrink it by squeezing more pixels into a smaller space? Does anyone recommend this one?

Well laptop screens usually have higher resolution than their desktop counterparts in the same size range, so yes this isn't the "normal native resolution" for a 22 inch from a desktop's perspective.

What do you mean "true HD"? HD only denotes the number of pixels, and the highest widely used standard we have right now is 1080, which this monitor is capable of (I'm sure you can see the correlation).

As for picture quality, physical quality, etc, I have no clue.
