Final noob Question

[kcrancer]

I've gone back and forth for a while now and have finally landed on a potential monitor. The LG W2252TQ 22 inch. I'm considering this for it's low cost and low input lag.

The Problem
My only concern is that the native resolution of the monitor is 1680x1050. My (VGA) Xbox will output a display at 1280 x 1024. The LG manual says it can handle it, but I'm just wondering will this add to the input lag?

If someone could let me know I would really appreciate it, and thanks to everone especially 10e for putting up with my undecisiveness

You'll be pleased to know that the Xbox360 fall update (due in November) adds support for 1680 x 1050... which would make your question moot.

I'm not sure about the answer... I don't think there's any lag if you're just filling, but their might be some lag if you're using 1:1 pixel mapping or aspect-ratio mapping. Note that I, at one point, tried using 1280*1024 in widescreen mode on a 22inch Samsung monitor (the shortlived, discontinued model that was utter crap) and the image quality was so bad that I had to return it. I didn't notice any input lag though.
