1920x1080 vs 1680x1050 ???

[leopardforest]

Should I go 1920x1080 or 1680x1050?

I would like to stay under $200 and have great quality for photo editing, also 22". I will use it gaming and movies, but I want good quality for photos. I know that resolution is a little bigger, but is is worth it?

So basically should i go 16:9 or 16:10?

Just get this monitor

I use 1680x1050 but rarely edit photos. It works pretty good. Its kinda screen size and not always resolution...

Thank you, I was looking at that one. I forgot to mention that I am looking for a 22in size as well.

What do you use it for?

well is there really any advantage to 1080 vs 1050??

1920x1080 is stupid. Especially on the 24" LCD's since the regular ones are 1920 x 1200

well i am referring to the 22" screens. well 21.6 or whatever it is.

Also pointless, 1920 x 1080 on a 22" LCD is really really small. The resolution's too big for them.

1920 x 1080 on a 22"is excellent imo.
I have a 20"with 1680 x 1050 at the moment, and if the pixel's were slightly bigger on the monitor, I'd really hate it.

besides that, the smaller the pixels on the screen, the less AF you would need when running a game on its native resolution.

16:10 all the way! 1920 x 1200 any day!

16:9 is way too short, I find. So what if you get some black boarders when watching a movie, it's no big deal. In fact, it piss' me off when I'm watching a movie and the image extends all the way to the edge of the screen. It looks odd...

Sorry....AF? That is a new one to me?

AF= Anisotropic Filtering

That doesn't make sense. You want the most resolution in the smallest place for the best picture. 1080 on a small screen looks alot better than on a 46".

Yes but when it's too small, it strains your eyes.

I guess it all depends what you are looking at onscreen? Words vs gaming...right?
