Because then the video card is just running 2 1440x900 monitors, which is the most common widescreen resolution at this point.

Whoops. :lol:

Actually my 19" at home that runs 1600x1200 is the same size if you were to chop the "wide" part off.

You buy 'spensive monitors. I feel inadequate now. :(

Don't look at my room either, then, lol. Overkill is a good starting point. I think my desktop right now is 3200x1200 on two 21" LCD's with a 3rd output at 1920x1080 on the 37" LCD.

Yay bachelor.....eep.

Umm...

..that's pretty cool.

And here I thought I was pimp with two 19 inchers. :oops:

doubleurx 2008-01-10 09:53 AM

1920 x1080 is the new widescreen standard for 1080P HD resolution.

I use a single 37" lcd widescreen at work but I am contemplating using 2 42" lcd's this summer, maybe stack the 37" on top in the middle..................than I will go blind!

What's stupid, though, is that HDTVs use the 16x9 ratio, and computer monitors use 16x10 or 16x9.

Agreed - the whole 16X9 ratio is just plain silly. The concept was to use a ratio that is a standard in the movie industry so you see what the director sees. The reality is they don't use 16X9 - it's more like 16X6 ratio. That's why you still see those damn black bars top and bottom on DVD.

Few things would make me mad as a child and this was one of them. "why would you make the TV a square and movies a wide rectangle?"

[craggy old man mode]Look here sonny.... In the olden days movies were 1.33:1(4:3) and when TV was invented, it matched that aspect ration. :P

In the 1950s, movies went "wide screen" and TV took 50+ years to catch up, largely due to consumers not caring and lack of a standard means to transfer larger images...

Most still imagery is still 4:3 by the way.

And widescreen sucks for doing any work that will end up being printed!

Now where did I put my teeth?[/COMM]
