HI there

From measuring from the base to the top of monitor is 18.5" as I take it that is what you meant?

HI there

The bezel is 3" up from the desk and the actual viewing area is 5" up from the desk. Is that what you wanted?

Shame the price has gone back up, was very tempted to buy one of these just wanted to see a good review on one and I would have been happy!

Oh well, I guess on This Week Only there is a chance of it dropping quite a bit again!

RobH · 26 Nov 2007 at 15:28

Mine has been shipped too, should be here tomorrow, means I have to be up early as it's a trek to the CityLink Office. I only have a 7800 GT but I can run some tests on it, plus a Xbox 360 so I can test out some different resolutions too.

Gamesfreak · 26 Nov 2007 at 15:35

Mines also shipped. Feeling it's a bit of gamble but I'm hoping for the best! Gotta sort my desk out now

toothe · 26 Nov 2007 at 15:46

yeah make that space. if this is as good as it could be im getting one. if it supports hdcp maybe even 2 who knows

, dead pixels worry me though. got 1 really annoying dead pixel on my 19 inch. think it woul have to be online so i can take it back.

Dappy · 26 Nov 2007 at 15:54

Mine's shipped too

RobH · 26 Nov 2007 at 16:15

What is OcUK's dead pixel policy anyway? I know that some of their competitors specify that X number of pixels have to be dead in a specific area before they will provide a replacement.

Dark_Angel · 26 Nov 2007 at 16:16

Distance selling act will basically make those things a non issue

Jon33 · 26 Nov 2007 at 16:28

A nice price on wed and I can see afew more of these been sold like

jmhduck · 26 Nov 2007 at 16:49

pumaz · 26 Nov 2007 at 17:01

I know it's not the native resolution but would this monitor be able to display 1080p (1920 x 1080)?

1920x1080 is a real 16:9 Ratio, LCD PC Monitors are 16:10 so 1900x1200, the same for non wide screen, they are not 4:3 like CRT's they are 5:4.

james.miller · 26 Nov 2007 at 17:56

it will still display it. if the monitor cant 1:1 map at 1920x1080, then im sure it can be done with your graphics drivers.

I understand that, makes sense but I was wondering what happens when I output a 1080p signal (this is from an Xbox 360 BTW) to the screen, as it is slightly below the native resolution, will the picture be scaled to fit etc.

Or would he get 2 thin black bars on the top and bottom?
