Just get the acer 19" widescreen. It's much nicer looking on the desktop and most seem to come without dead pixels.

Is it possible to choose which it does?
Can the graphics card software be used to force it to use 4:3 or is this a feature of the monitor?

Movie playback is quite noisy, more than i expected. No dead pixels, no smearing in games, nice colours, no backlight bleed.
Worth £150? hell yes.
Was that with dvi or vga?JBeck said:Movie playback is quite noisy, more than i expected. No dead pixels, no smearing in games, nice colours, no backlight bleed.
the hann's constast ratio is better too dont forget 500:1vs 700:1Joe42 said:The acer looks almost identical. The reason i'm going to get this over the acer is dvi and a lower price.
Dead pixels will always be a problem, especially on cheaper monitors such as these. I've heard of plenty of people getting acers with problems such as white spots on the screen as well as dead pixels.
