This PC Monitor I was considering on Wednesday is a WuXGa or whatever...

I-Inc iF-281DPB 28" Widescreen LCD Monitor - 3ms, WUXGA 1920x1200, HDMI, D-sub, Built-In Speakers in Canada at TigerDirect.ca

Can a TV be WuXga?????? Or does it really mean anything in the end?????

True WUXGA uses a resolution of 1900x1200 with an aspect ratio of 16:10. HDTVs and 16:9 computer displays advertised as WUXGA use a resolution of 1900x1080.

So in short, yes.

Here's what the Desktop display at CBIT looked like (proportionately)

For me here this is 1024 by 700, but for them it was listed as 1900 by 1000 or so.....

AND IT WAS SHARP and crisp.....No B.S. like I'm seeing here as I try and type this squinting....

It looked pretty attractive to me........

oh, and did I say SHARP?????: :eyemove::eyemove::eyemove::eyemove::eyemove:

Yes I did mean WQXGA typo there , WUXGA is about the same I was looking at the specs on a WQXGA and a WUXGA screen , didn't seen much difference at all

and big time "whoops!" on my part, it's actually a 30.2 inch WQXGA not a 42 inch , 1000:1 contrast ratio not 1Mill:1 , big time incorrect info on my part, mixed up a bunch of stats for a couple different monitors

Gameman how far back do you plan to sit from your 40-42inch screen?

Can any desktop computer graphics card even output 1080p??????

I heard it only does 720p at best...therefore TRUE HDTV ain't attainable, at least not off your computer anyway...... and believe me that's what it'll be hooked up to....

Don't have a Blu-ray player or other HDMI source or whatever... or a PS3 for that matter.......

My HDTV card and Video card have no probs with displaying TV at 1080P on my monitor!

When I press record it does record in 1920x1080

I believe you. I keep my desktop at 1900x1200 at all times.

Here's a desktop comparison of your desktop size to my desktop size. (sorry about the huge size)

I recommend a WUXGA display. If you can't afford one at the moment, I highly recommend that you save up. Your display will likely be the longest-lasting piece of hardware, so make sure it's a purchase that you won't regret.

Gameman how far back do you plan to sit from your 40-42inch screen?

Are you so sure he's really buying anything?

 

[Lasnap]

look at what a simple search on newegg for pc montiors picked up at inches and its not that far off of his maximum price Newegg.com - Gateway XHD3000 Black 30" 6ms(GTG) HDMI Widescreen HDMI LCD Monitor w/ 6-port USB Hub and Swivel Adjustment 400 cd/m2 1000:1 Built in Speakers - LCD Monitors

Sorry, fell asleep there for a moment........

probably what I am now..4-5 feet...

By the way I was at CBIT today, and they've sold the Daytek, it's now th Viison Quest - but that's good enough.....Now I just gotta make sure everything financially lines up....

 

[DarkSamus]

Did you even read that I know of 3 Vision Quest owners that had MAJOR probs after the warranty ran out?

 

[masta.g.86]

C'mon Gameman, save up for a Samsung or at least the LG...

Some pooor sap bought a FLOOR MODEL 46" 720p $1200 daytek?

oh god.........

you can get a brand new 46" 1080p sony for the same price.

 

[Gameman]

yeah, I read it, I just was not thinking of the worst possible outcome...that's all

What exactly were these "problems they" encountered????

Shot tube???? pixels burning out??/?

Just curious

oh god.........

well at least it wasn't me....


You can get a SONY for 1200??????

C'mon Gameman, save up for a Samsung or at least the LG...

yeah, of the intelligent/reliable purchases the LG 720p seems like the best risk-free bang for the buck....it's only 850 and probably BETTER than the Viison Quest...

The Samsung however appears smaller than my Trinitron however so I'd be losing ground....but Samsung don't make a 42....just 40's

edit: to revise my last photo and make it more accurate, THIS is actually what I saw.....Only Clearer, wider and sharper...oh and 1900 x 1000 or so, see/??? Plenty of Desktop Space left over...

Here's the INTELLIGENT purchase in my price range - maybe 30-40.00 over.....

[Gameman]

That Bravia looks good for 1200.00 may have to give it some thought....Sony is just about the best you can do.....

And 46 inches of 1080p is a significant gain.....

I may have to go this week to see it and bring a laptop with a VGA cord to test it out.....

Thanks, those and those huge newegg ones are exactly what I'm looking for.....

 

[PCXL-Fan]

You can get the Sony S series 1080p 40" for $993

I have, that Sony looks like it might be worth waiting for if it's still 1200.00 in a little while....That would be worth taking out another "loan" for.....as long as it didn't take until July to get....

 

[PCXL-Fan]

Dont' trust the economy, the dollar is gonna drop further, plus the line is disconinueing and sony is introducing the 2009 models, discontinueing these tvs, so who knows what proces will be like by the summer.

 

[Gameman]

The 2009 models???? i thought these wERE them.....

I'll bet they'll be no less than a BILLION dollars each....

 

[PCXL-Fan]

nope the kdl 4100 models are the 2008 sony line up, the 5100 will be the 2009 lineup
