The FP241W thread is really long.

also, i dont want that old monitor, I want to buy the FP241VW. not a big price difference but it is the latest edition right? I like also the solid look it my techno-slut decorating style.

well, here it goes:

is 1:1 pixel maping fixed in this version of the unit? What I mean is, the 900 posts about the FP241W not doing 1:1 correctly so that a 1080p signal is stretched vs small black bars... is the now history on this FP241VW version?

I want to use this thing for my tv through HDMI and a compy screen through the DVI. Also, I will be using my computer's DVD player to watch dvd's.

Eventually, my ultimate goal is to watch 1080p blu ray disks on this and have it look perfect. I dont want to get a tv/monitor display because I think they look crappy for text and general use.
 
From what I heard, they still fucked up the 1:1 pixel mapping. Sometimes you wonder if they have any clue as to what they are doing? :D
 
heard? doesnt help.

anyone have it? own it? use it? know how to turn on 1:1 and test it with external device like a blu-ray player or a cable box with hdmi out?

eh?

thanx for the help though :p
 
AFAIK, the VW and WZ versions are identical bar cosmetic differences. But also, the 3 versions (W, WZ and VW) would be fixable if they figure out a fix for 1:1. Basically, what I'm saying is I wouldn't choose the VW based on the untrue fact that it is the latest and greatest edition. But if you are getting it for cosmetic reasons then fair enough. I quite like the design myself, but the loss of height adjustability and the fact that it cost around 20% extra puts me off it.

Anyway, on http://pigsterwiki.com/ , it says that the 1:1 has finally been fixed on the VW version in Korea. This should hopefully mean that a fix will be available for all versions and around the world soon!
 
hm. how is it working now? what happens at this point if you plug in an external video source to this unit?
 
Mate, seriously check out the link I gave you. It tells you every up to date bit of information available on this screen (and others). Concerning the 1:1, the latest info says it has been fixed, i.e. judging by the picture in the news section of the pigsterwiki, you get 1:1 pixel mapping...1920x1080 image...on the screen you get the horizontal filled fully and small balck bars on top and bottom.

Hopefully, this is a genuine piece of news and hopefully the firmware will be released across the world so that all BenQ 241 owners can experience the full image. How long this will take is anyone's guess...
 
having trouble finding the meat to eat on that page..... you look for that screen and it shows you 1-2 blurbs about some tech from thousands of miles away, or, it gives me 3rd party short reviews.

I do thank you but I cannot find on that page anywhere that clearly gives a detailed review or update about one panel..... some places on the web arent set up that intuitively. a bird just flew into my room.
 
Yeh, I understand, the information for these monitors is hard to come by. Anyways, just saw your other thread on BenQ. Hopefully, you will be able to help us determine if 1:1 is totally fixed now!
 
i always liked the benqs but never got one. i remember when their 24 inch was 1200 :D
