Then again, I really don't see the point in bragging about being the world's first 24" 1080p screen. I don't really see a market for it when there are a multitude of 24" WUXGA monitors already available.]]>Jun 10th 2008 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/acer-introduces-24-inch-p244w-1080p-lcd-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/acer-introduces-24-inch-p244w-1080p-lcd-monitor/
Anyway, 1920x1200 is 16:10 whereas 1920x1080 is 16:9. There's nothing wrong with Acer's statement. They did explicitly use the "16:9 ratio" qualifier.]]>Jun 9th 2008 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/acer-introduces-24-inch-p244w-1080p-lcd-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/acer-introduces-24-inch-p244w-1080p-lcd-monitor/Jun 9th 2008 12:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/acer-introduces-24-inch-p244w-1080p-lcd-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/acer-introduces-24-inch-p244w-1080p-lcd-monitor/Jun 9th 2008 10:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/acer-introduces-24-inch-p244w-1080p-lcd-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/acer-introduces-24-inch-p244w-1080p-lcd-monitor/Jun 9th 2008 10:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/acer-introduces-24-inch-p244w-1080p-lcd-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/acer-introduces-24-inch-p244w-1080p-lcd-monitor/Jun 9th 2008 10:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/acer-introduces-24-inch-p244w-1080p-lcd-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/acer-introduces-24-inch-p244w-1080p-lcd-monitor/

1920x1200 is native on 24" widescreen computer monitors, which traditionally have a 16:10 aspect. 1080p televisions have a resolution of 1920x1080, 16:9 aspect.
The point is that it's unusual to get a 16:9, 1920x1080, 24" computer monitor. Something like this would be useful for a bedroom, seeing as the smallest 1080p TV you can buy is 32". This 24" would take up much less room and could be used on a desk, hooked up to a PC and a games console.]]>Jun 9th 2008 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/acer-introduces-24-inch-p244w-1080p-lcd-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/acer-introduces-24-inch-p244w-1080p-lcd-monitor/Jun 9th 2008 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/acer-introduces-24-inch-p244w-1080p-lcd-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/acer-introduces-24-inch-p244w-1080p-lcd-monitor/

And I can see why people would care about the slightly lower res, but a True HD resolution and aspect ratio, if the monitor is going to double as a TV in a dorm, bedroom kitchen or what not.]]>Jun 9th 2008 11:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/acer-introduces-24-inch-p244w-1080p-lcd-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/acer-introduces-24-inch-p244w-1080p-lcd-monitor/
what ACER did is essentially make something that didn't need to be made, since you already have 16:9 TVs that can be used as computer monitors.]]>Jun 9th 2008 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/acer-introduces-24-inch-p244w-1080p-lcd-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/acer-introduces-24-inch-p244w-1080p-lcd-monitor/Jun 9th 2008 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/acer-introduces-24-inch-p244w-1080p-lcd-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/acer-introduces-24-inch-p244w-1080p-lcd-monitor/"since a lot of my wide screen movies are in 1.85:1, so you get black bars {top and bottom) regardless of 16:9 or 16:10, I'd prefer the 16:10 for a computer monitor, and it display with 4:3 video better anyways."


Reply:
You need to stop talking. You are completely misinformed. If you have a widescreen monitor 16:9 or 16:10 then....

1.85:1 movies COMPLETELY fill a 16:9 monitor, and leave a sliver of black on 16:10.

2.35:1 movies will be letterboxed, but on a widescreen monitor it won't be too bad.

1.33:1 movies will be windowboxed with large black bars on the sides, or you can stretch it. eww.

Now that you are informed you can continue to make dumb posts.

Another thing, who cares about if Gateway came out some something before, to me, it's the price.

Oh, and yeah, I think it was silly to compare it to a 1920x1200. The whole point is that it is HDTV resolution, so for use in a media center, there usually won't be black bars. There are plenty of HDTVs to use for this purpose, but most TVs this small are 720p.]]>Jun 9th 2008 11:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/acer-introduces-24-inch-p244w-1080p-lcd-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/acer-introduces-24-inch-p244w-1080p-lcd-monitor/Jun 9th 2008 11:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/acer-introduces-24-inch-p244w-1080p-lcd-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/acer-introduces-24-inch-p244w-1080p-lcd-monitor/

Why is everyone so harsh on Acer? I've owned one of their laptops and currently have one of their x193w monitors. They are really good quality. Definitely the best value out there. Just look at the reviews on newegg.com:
