Rotating it for a wall mount vertically for pinball action too. Just a thought or what I was thinking.

I wonder why they call it 720p in the description. It's a 1600x1200 max resolution (I'm using one right now).

Post by: DillonFoulds on July 16, 2010, 06:57:34 pm: 720p = 1280x720 or 1366x768
Both resolutions comfortably fit within the 1600x1200 boundaries. I'm guessing that the monitors will letterbox some black bars onto that picture to fill the 1600x1200, yes still natively display the 720p advertised.
