| Dumb Question - Is this Widescreen or not? |

Ok, I think I sourced out a 22" LCD monitor as opposed to a widescreen. I'm thinking of getting it and using it for both horizontal and vertical games - I hope it works well. I'm posting below the specs. Since it doesn't mention 1920x resolution, does that mean that it's not widescreen? Not sure how to tell otherwise :timebomb: Product Specifications: Number of Screens: 1 Screen Size: 22" Screen Mode: WSXGA+ Maximum Response Time: 5 ms Horizontal Viewing Angle: 88° Vertical Viewing Angle: 88° HDCP Support: Yes Maximum Resolution: 1680 x 1050 Contrast Ratio: 1000:1 Brightness: 250 Nit DVI: Yes VGA: Yes Height: 13.50" Width: 19.89" Depth: 2.57" Height with Stand: 15.39" Width with Stand: 19.89" Depth with Stand: 8.73" Weight (Approximate): 10.36 lb Weight with Stand (Approximate): 11 lb Standard Warranty: 3 Year |

16:10 aspect ratio. |

1680 x 1050 resolution would be a 16x10 widescreen. for a non widescreen 4:3 display look for a native resolution that the first number divided by 4 then multiplied by 3 = the second number (ie. 4:3 resolution like 640x480 (640/4 = 160 X 3 = 480) , 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x960, 1360x1024, etc. ) |

I figure by dividing the first number by the second number. 16/10=1.6, 1680/1050=1.6; 16/9=1.777, 1280/720=1.777; 4/3=1.333, 640/480=1.333. But maybe my way is complicated... :dunno |

16:10 is actually better if you're stuck with widescreen. You get a little bigger 4:3 image than you would with the same diagonal size 16:9 widescreen. Some of the widscreen Taito Type X games run at 16:10 on my 16:9 monitor, so I have slight black bars on each side. (I don't want it stretched) If you're looking for a 22" 4:3 monitor though, that's not one. |
