Monitors w/ 1:1 scaling thread
- Thread starter OGROK
- Start date
Dell 2007WFP and also 2407WFP..you access it through the OSD. I have the 2007 but to be quite honest..the feature is not quite as useful as I thought it would be. My 7900GT SLI is capable of running just about anything at the native 1680x1050 res with a good level of detail..the only time it is useful is for a game that doesn't support widescreen resolutions...but that list is growing shorter by the day. I also use my Xbox 360 with the monitor but I prefer to let it "fill" instead of using the pixel mapping..

The Gateway FPD2275W and 2475W both have 1:1 scaling. I just bought the 2275W today; and it's great, no dead pixels, and I've been playing my PS2 on it most of the day.
In the menu you can pick the video settings, and then you can pick the scaling options and 1:1 can be chosen from there.

I believe the NEC 20W(M)GX2 also has the ability to utilise 1:1 pixel mapping through the OSD, too.
Ohh cool I might be lucky..... I too have a ps2 slim via sonys component cables to my regular living room tv, and I was think about etting that gateway 22 incher at bestbuy because I want to run my ps2 on it, in my office room. How does the ps2 work on that monitor, how does it look in 480i mode?
Reason for asking is first of all I purchased a insigia 19inch hdtv lcd tv at bestbuy to run the ps2 on it but the built in I guess you call it "deinterlacer" wasnt high quality and it was hard to enjoy ps2 games running 480i as most games are compared to my regular crt tv. Issues I had was "combing effects/artifacts", where any movement or edges of something you see like lines like a hair comb type look to it. by researching a display should have a "3D comb filter" to take care of that. And one more issue was if you keep the ingame screen still without any character or screen movement it looked good, but once you move I saw like vibration, fuzzyness, unclearness, then once its still then you can see it clear up.
Thanks for your help thomas....
I'm actually getting the component cables this afternoon so I'll get back to you after that; it's definitely playable but it is kinda blurry. I'm playing kingdom hearts 1 again right now.
Imma pop in KH2 to check the other modes.
I have my PS2 set to 16:9 now; I'll see if I can get a real camera and take some pictures too for ya.
I REALLY like this monitor so far though; it's exactly what I needed and it's pretty cheap too.
When you say blurry I think I know what you are saying because apart from the issues that I said above and I consider those more of an issue for me I notice ps2 games on that hdv that I returned that the graphics/textures didnt look so sharp/crisp/vivid/colorful like on a regular crt tv, but thats expected and normal on any lcd display anyways unless of course your runing a HD console like ps3 etc...
So does the blurry issue different than the issues I said above? Thanks gain talk to you later....
Yeah anything that's moving isn't as crisp; but that's only when I'm 1-2 feet away from it; but I sit about 4-5 feet back and can't tell that it's any different from say, the health/menu's of the games UI.
Kinda in class right now; Theater 201; Intro to Cinema; we're watching 'City of God'.
It's pretty damn good

Actually I found couple things that should explain the main issues I was talking about, and I notice that his gateway has this technology "Faroudja's DCDi" and maybe this wont have that issue. Check out these two links thanks...

The NEC 20WMGX2 doesn't have scaling options over DVI except in DVI-HD mode, which is only useful for external devices. Even then, it doesn't scale 1080p or 480p properly over DVI. 1080p is stretched to fill the screen with no scaling options, and 480p has a 3:2 aspect ratio.Mansize_tissue said:
Ok I got it and this monitor does not have that vibration issue looks like the built in deinterlacer is a good quality for that issue but it does have combing effect issue you see it when the screen is moving looks like thin hair.
A question does this monitor capable of doing 1080i? Is it ps3 and xbox360 ready.
