Well more specifically 19inch widescreen, I guess 720p would be the one to use, however how bad is the stretching?

Anyone play with this set-up?

you can do 1440x900 with a vga cable i believe so it shouldn't look too bad.

What he said.

I run on my Dell 2007WFP at 1650 x 1050 and it looks superb!

Can anyone confirm it runs at 1440x900 while not being stretched?

Says here 720p is the closest..

I have mine on 1440x900 and it does letterbox mode due to the difference between PC and TV screens.

There have been firmware updates since then that have added support for 16:10 resolutions, 1440x900 being one of those. It won't stretch at all but you will have tiny black borders at the top and bottom.

Well there is minimal difference between the aspect ratios, 16:10 and 16:9.
