16:10 (1920x1200) IPS monitor with 1:1 pixel mapping?

I've been looking around... Is there a good option available?

I'd love to get the Asus VS24AHL Overclockers are selling, but it seems a shame it doesn't have 1:1 pixel mapping should you wish to use 16:9... (Over DVI)

You dont see that many 24" 16:10 monitors theese days unfortunately. Used to be pretty common on higher end 24" monitors some years ago. The benq fp241w i have in sig being one and has 1:1 pixel mapping.

My Dell U2410 had 1:1 pixel mapping aswell, this was a great monitor except the anti-glare was a bit thick. I see you are using an ATI card though, you know there's a way of getting 1:1 pixel mapping effect when you are booted into Windows using the Catalyst driver? I'm in Linux at the moment but Catalyst control centre looking the same. Display manager > monitor you are using > adjustments > "use graphics processor for scaling" > "use centred timings".

Does that do it automatically? I'd want to run my desktop in 16:10, and have the option to run games in 16:9, with the monitor obviously showing it 1:1 with black bars top/bottom...

If that does that automatically you've made my day!

EDIT: Tried it and it seems to work! Many thanks!

No problems, it makes buying a new monitor so much easier if you just want 1:1 mapping for desktop and games running on desktop

Anyone know if NVidia have an equivalent option?

Although I don't make use of it myself, I know nVdia have scaling controls under the "Adjust desktop size and position" section of the cp.

You can set no scaling, aspect ratio scaling or full screen.
