"The ASUS PA248QJ features a 16:10 aspect ratio, 1920 x 1200 A+ IPS LED-backlit panel for 100% sRGB and 72% NTSC color reproduction"

Finally an IPS screen with native 120hz now it just needs to be 2560x1440 res

the VG27AH is not a 120hz monitor!

That size and resolution plus touch for that price... Yeah it'll be a while before those come out.

[Covert_Death]

price is my least concern but there isn't anything in the 24'' 1080p touch category....

nothinggggggggggg

Im in the market for a monitor, preferably 27" 1080 will do fine, but, i plugged my rigg into a 32 inch 1080 tele yesterday and it looked great, now im wondering if just to get a tele?
Thanx for post, gr8 to keep up to date for future purchase.

I'd be more interested in their 144Hz monitor.

*cry*

Nice find... that typo almost made me ready to buy a new monitor. 1080p TN panels just aren't worth buying to me but there's no real gaming IPS monitors out there yet. Thought this might be the first

I think that was more of an assumption than a typo. Assumptions and news don't go together.

Good find Andrea deluxe.

Well whatever it was, it got me super excited for about 10 seconds

24"? Awe. My T260HD has me spoiled...

But I'd love two of those PA248QJs next to each other. Tired of all these 1080p monitors.

[NeoXF]

Ugh... just give us 3840x2160 screens (or something) already... or at least more price-friendly 2560x1440s...

[Super XP]

1920 x 1080p is more than enough for me for now. Especially on a 24" HD screen. My ASUS LED looks great and games even better. But wow 3840 x 2160, do games support this res?

Any game should support any resolution, as it's all the same general algorithm, with different screen sizes put in. But yeah, for some weird reason they don't.

pretty sure it works the other way around though... instead of building UP resolution, it builds down. they create the game with a MAX resolution (textures and all that are made in this resolution) and then anything BELOW that is supported.

it just simply wouldn't work the other way around to go infinitely up in resolution. if a texture is made for 1080p res, how are you supposed to render a scene in a higher resolution??? the textures don't exist for it

Sure, it works, the game engine just upscales the texture. This is what happens when you go up close to an object and it looks all blurry, because you've reached the limit of the texture. Remember, the textures never have a 1:1 correlation with the screen pixels, because they're always resized, shown at an angle, have an effect applied, rotated etc. Rendering them on a super high res screen is no different at all.
