For any Widescreen TFT owners, a quick check please

Hi all. I'm trying to compile a list of monitors which feature 1:1 pixel mapping as i think this is a key area people are interested in with the range of WS models now available. If any of you own any of these models, or can confirm whether they do / don't support 1:1 pixel mapping then please let me know in this thread. I'll update the list as we go, hopefully it will be useful here as well

apparently the belinea doesnt (cousin said so), which would also assume the BenQ doesnt

ah yeah, forgot about the Belinea Don't think the other VS models support it either, but i'll wait for some owners to comment there

I can confirm the Philips does indeed support it as you have shown correctly

Does it matter that much whether or not it supports 1:1?

You can just do it in software if it doesn't using powercolor etc.

not always. For instance, people have tried this with software on the Viewsonic VX2025WM and no one that I have seen has managed to operate a 1:1 pixel mapping. If someone can show otherwise i'd be interested to see though

Acer AL1916W - N
i have one, it doesnt have the feature.

thanks

whats it mean if it doesnt support this? the monitor is somehow stretching/morphing the image and bluring it?

see here

very interesting, that link with the games that can be made to run on a WS will be handy, nice to see i'll beable to get Q3 at that res.

Hopefully my new VX2025 will arrive today, shame it doesnt look to support this feature

How exactly do you make the 2405 1:1 pixel map? Would be useful until I can get my faster PC with better GFX running.

it's in the OSD > image settings > scaling

Thanks!

Hi, I have the AL1916W by Acer, whats 1:1 pixel mapping am I missing out?

ah I see so if I was to run a game at 1024x768 it wouldnt be stretched out and instead thered be borders all round it?

would that mean that the game would run faster since there are few pixels for the graphics card to generate?

yes thats right.

Also worth noting which offer 'aspect'? Helpful for console gamers.

Might be worth noting that some only do it at certain resolutions. EG, the 2407 doesn't do it at 1200 lines does it?

bump. anyone else help out with this list?
