Hi guys,
I recently built a gaming machine and need some suggestions on LCDs. These are my requirements on the monitor
1. 22 or 24 widescreen
2. Fast response time (meaning...not so slow...<=5ms should be good enough)
3. Supports pixel mapping and stretching.
4. has DVI or HDMI
I will probably plug a xbox360 to it through VGA. I also play some older games (might be in 640x480, 800x600 resolution, like counterstrike, starcraft) so would like the monitor to be able to keep the aspect ratio of the original resolution. I know many BenQ monitors have that function but have never seen how that works. Say I am playing a full-screen 640-480 game, will it just leave a small screen in the middle, or can it stretch the screen to top and bottom of the display area still within 4:3 ratio? Any recommendations will be appreciated.
