LG Rolls Out New HD Monitors
LG announced a new fleet of full-HD capable LCD monitors today. The lineup consists of three models of different screen-sizes under the Wxx53V-PF naming scheme: the 22 inch W2253V-PF, 24 inch W2453V-PF and 27 inch W2753V-PF. LG seems to have emphasized on both form and function with these ones. Sporting a piano-black shell with a dash of clear acrylic, the monitors pack LCD panels with 2 ms response time. All models have native resolutions of 1920 x 1080 pixels (1080p HD), and are HDCP-capable.
Additionally, they feature intelligent Auto Bright, Live Sensor, and Cinema mode proprietary features. The monitor detects the intensity of light in the environment it's working in, and accordingly adjusts brightness and contrast levels. All models support offer DVI-D, D-SUB, and HDMI port as input connectivity options. LG is yet to release or price these monitors outside the Japanese market as of now.

Where is my *updated version of the* ViewSonic VP2290b ?
To the average comsumer this is "AWESOME!" To us it's probably going to be a ripoff.
The prices haven't been announced yet.
heh yay 1360x768
the 10% more screen you get on your 16:10 screens is used for black bars. woo. exciting.
We have enough room sideways, it's the up and down room that we run out on web pages, like TPU. Sure as long as you go to a higher resolution 16:9 still has more room vertical. I just wouldn't like a 22" 1680x945 16:9 screen.
Single screen for everything, then yeah 1080p screen would be nice, as long as you got the hardware for (gaming) the resolution.
I have been saying the same thing of going from 4:3 (16:12) CRT to 16:10 LCD.
I can do 2048x1536 on a 20 inch viewable screen.
LCD's do 1680x1050 on a 22 inch screen or 1920x1200 on a 24 inch screen.
16:9 could be awesome, if they drop in some higher resolutions.
We're getting lower and lower resolutions again, at least in most cases.
Many new 18.5in panels are 1366x768 compared to 1440x900 for 19in models.
Most new 21.5-24in panels are all 1920x1080, although it seems like 1600x900 will be a new standard this year... again lower than 1680x1050 (both ways in this case).
Only Samsung and Dell have a viable options with their 23in 2048x1536 models and it's the only 16:9 resolution I'd get.
Even worse, it seems like netbooks will go 1024x576 which is just plain silly.
The way our operating systems an applications work, 16:9 is a shitty aspect ratio.
I'm interested to know compatibility with this unusual resolution... esp. desktop and gaming. :toast:
Sometimes i think you guys dont realise in games you ARENT getting more view area - you're getting a distorted, stretched 16:9 image - DVD movies and then consoles have made 16:9 the default aspect ratio
