my hyundai w240d, scales very well
you could either use 1-1 pixel mapping and get the 1680x1050 res on the 24" screen or you could let the screen scale itself.
mine does a very good job with both, espeically the scaling. Obviously it wont look as good as native, but its perfectly fine for games.
If you wanted to game at the lower res's why not gofor a smaller screen, or even use a HDTV for gaming (a 720p resolution)
I game at 1920x1200 and I can just manage 60fps with a single 8800GTX on COD4 with everything maxed out @ 4AA and that anti-what-you-call-it filtering, so unless you got a beefy graphics card you'll find it hard to game at 1920.
what are your specS?

I can't stand scaling, native res or nothing for me.
Same thing with my Dell 2007WFP, when gaming it looks fine below it's native res stretched to fill the screen. I've used it loads of times like that. Guess it has a good scaler.
Currently using an x1800xt, which has lasted me nicely for about 2 years now.
About time to upgrade the gfx anyways.
I'd be interested in the 1920x1200 res for music production apps where I tend to need a lot of active windows for all the vsti's and stuff.

When I had my OCUK 24" Monitor, gaming at 1680x1050 was just as good and I felt there was little or no detriment to the quality.
Agree. I would sooner use 0xAA than scale a lower resolution if a game was struggling
