20" widescreen quick questions

[Dark_Angel]

I am looking at the phillips widescreen or the Viewsonic one. I was tempted by the very low price of the 19" acer widescreen, but 1440x900 is to low a res after being used to 1600x1200 on a CRT...

Basically, I just wanted to know which one had the better feature set? Can you manually chose the aspect ration on both of them (IE, full screen, leterbox, 4x3) or not? I think you can on the phillips, but could someone confirm this?

Is a DVI cable supplied with these monitors, and how easy is it to switch between inputs, as was going to use it for my 360 also.

Thanks in advance all

awww... thats a shame TBH as the viewsonic does look nicer in appearance.

Since I will be using the monitor with the 360 though, scaling is going to be a major thing... and I dont really wanna have to fork out for a seperate DVI cable to. Thanks for the info mate.

*EDIT*

One more thing, I googled a review of the phillips, and it listed the specs as 16MS... yet on this site and others it says its 8... what is going on there

it always used to be a 16ms model, but they updated it recently to 8ms. Be wary that some places might have the older stock, OcUk is confirmed as 8ms edition only

Ahh... that explains it then thanks!
