16:9 is too short on a 12" monitor you say? So i guess it's a good thing that this aspect ratio is for 22"+ monitors. 1080 > 1050.]]>Sep 24th 2008 5:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-22-inch-s2209w-monitor-to-reach-full-hd-resolution/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-22-inch-s2209w-monitor-to-reach-full-hd-resolution/
So you can put in an HD source via HDMI like a DVD recorder with digital tuners, plug in inputs through that, and you'd have a monitor that doubles as a TV for cheap, and it'd look damn good either close up or a little further away. If you make it 16:10, it's up to the monitor's modules to correctly resize it (which is what the Samsung T2x0HD series does).

Also, Samsung makes Dell's monitors anyway, so it's not like this is a bit of a stretch.]]>Sep 24th 2008 7:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-22-inch-s2209w-monitor-to-reach-full-hd-resolution/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-22-inch-s2209w-monitor-to-reach-full-hd-resolution/Sep 24th 2008 4:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-22-inch-s2209w-monitor-to-reach-full-hd-resolution/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-22-inch-s2209w-monitor-to-reach-full-hd-resolution/Sep 24th 2008 7:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-22-inch-s2209w-monitor-to-reach-full-hd-resolution/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-22-inch-s2209w-monitor-to-reach-full-hd-resolution/Sep 24th 2008 4:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-22-inch-s2209w-monitor-to-reach-full-hd-resolution/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-22-inch-s2209w-monitor-to-reach-full-hd-resolution/Sep 24th 2008 7:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-22-inch-s2209w-monitor-to-reach-full-hd-resolution/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-22-inch-s2209w-monitor-to-reach-full-hd-resolution/Sep 24th 2008 7:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-22-inch-s2209w-monitor-to-reach-full-hd-resolution/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-22-inch-s2209w-monitor-to-reach-full-hd-resolution/Sep 24th 2008 4:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-22-inch-s2209w-monitor-to-reach-full-hd-resolution/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-22-inch-s2209w-monitor-to-reach-full-hd-resolution/
I have to admit that it was a bit too high-res for that small a screen...

Anyway, I'm glad these companies are finally getting the idea. Honestly I've been unable to buy myself a monitor because I don't want to abandon the 1920x1200 of my Dell laptop. I can't imagine why it's taken them so long to do this.

They're just doing it to save costs on manufacturing. Now they don't need to develop 16:10 and 16:9 LCDs for TVs and computer displays. Makes sense for them, but not for us.

Notice that netbook screens don't have either proportion. They're like 16 : 9.5 or something because they don't want to reduce the vertical pixels, but if they're going to be able to make a 9" screen with a large enough keyboard, they need to make the screen more like a 16:9. They went half-way.

PS: I'm a nerd.

And when i was shopping for my new 26'', 1920x1200 screen, there were plenty of 22-28'' LCDs out there with 1920x1200 as the native res, which is as everyone should know, higher than True HD 1080p. Why does any company think computer users WANT 16:9? I mean, im a gamer and i love widescreen gaming, but i have plenty of old games that just wont support a widescreen format, keeping the aspect ratio to 16:10 makes a lot more sense so those games wont get confused, not to mention simple computing benefits from the extra height of the display when surfing and such.

That is to say, should we take a number of companies which market 3 model series in the 22" size being:

1. Gamers / low cost = TN
2. Mid-rage quality = PVA
3. High Quality = IPS

If Samsung, Dell, Acer, HP, Viewsonic and various others only have to purchase within these 3 spec ranges for the 22" size and 1920*1080 resolution for both TV's and Computer Monitors, then they (the manufactures) are able to purchase in higher volumes with greater volume discounts.

The panel manufactures are also capable of producing higher volumes of panels with fewer differentiators (1920*1200 vs 1920*1080 that is), so instead of having to make 6 different 22" high res displays, they only need to make 3, at higher volumes, due to standardization of resolution for both TVs and Monitors.

The benifit to us is the greater competition, creating lower costs for basicly the same panels inside different cases, so long as they do standardize.

The math:

(For Monitors) Samsung 22" 1920x1200 PVA panel @ 3000 units = us$150.00
(For TV's) Samsung 22" 1920x1080 PVA panel @ 4000 units = us$130.00
or
(For both uses) Samsung 22" 1920x1080 PVA panel @ 7000 units = us$110.00
NB: this costs are plucked ut of my arse so don't read into it, but thats the theory.

And considering competition, that means cheaper Monitors and TV's for all, YAY!
