...neither is 1680x1050 :icon27:
if you dont plan on running the LCD as the resolution it was built for, save your money and just return it.


(btw i've got a 2005fpw at home and two 2405fpw's at work)

i allready said that one isent, i am trying to find one. but thus far, i havent came up with a combo that works.. 16:9 that looks good in windows..

by the looks of it, i need to stick with the 1920X1200 :)

1920x1200 is the only res to run it at... It's a 16x10 panel, not 16x9. If you run it at 1920 by whatever = 16x9, it will look like ass.

Yeah 16:10 aspect like dave said. It's a slight bit taller than an HDTV acpect at 16:9.

Amidy's dad. You see he's still at he point where his parents buy something and he's like "Hey I just got this new...".

But that's ok because at some point his left nut will drop and he'll get a life of his own.

lol, a community collage?

btw, you are right, i am living at home wile i am going to collage..
but i fail to see how that is offensive?

its hard enough to get through collage on my own, without anyone paying for me to go through.

i bet you are still paying your student loan.

and here i am, a fresh Grad, and debt free.

What's really unnerving is that you're in college and you can't even spell it.

What a waste of money...
