I am considering buying this monitor, as I have been waiting for a glossy 24 inch for ages. Does anyone know if it will do 16:9 (1920x1080) at the correct aspect ratio over VGA and DVI.
 
I'm going to answer my own question since I bought it and quickly returned it. It does have working 1:1 and aspect modes, however, the screen is a TN panel and the viewing angles disappointing. The poor viewing angles and lack of uniformity on completely black screens were the primary reasons I returned it.
 
Thanks for the report. I can only imagine what a S-ISP screen would look like underneath the glossy screen. Probably pretty radical. That's the only thing about the W2207 making it worth keeping.
 
instead of buying a glossy screen panel why not just buy a mirror? it's alot cheaper to look at yourself in a mirror

I take it you're not a big fan of glossy screens, or look at mostly black screens. There's always the 226bw/cw or the 22" LG. But if you've ever seen the w2207, first thing immediately noticeable are the great blacks, mostly attributable to the glossy screen.

The w2207 is one of a handful of monitors that could easily boast a 1000 contrast ratio... no problem. In fact, Anandtech speced out the min/max contrast ratio of the w2207 somewhere around 985.
