Hi all

Could one of you kind people who own a 24" LCD that does 1:1 mapping post or PM me a picture of what your monitor looks like displaying a 1680x1050 desktop? I am just trying to get an idea of how much more screen size 1920x1200 offers vs 1680x1050. Also curious what it will look like playing games at 16x10 with 1:1 enabled.

Thanks in advance!
 
in 1:1 mode, a 24 inch will basically shink to a 20", you will gain nothing but black bars around your image, would be better off sticking with a 20 inch if your just going to use a 24 in 1:1 for that res
 
Well, know this isn't much. But here's an image of 1680 overlapped on top of 1920.
Just to get the general idea.

You are right, but i mainly use my monitor for xbox and watching DVD/HDDVD/TV so I will make plenty of use of the 24"-er.

Just also planning for what will happen when I can't run PC games at that huge res.
