Thoughts from the Pros on 1440x900 wide

[Cisco Kid]

Please comment on this unit it is new and not much info yet but price is damn cheap in canada at $350 canadian. This is a 16x10 LCD as well WXGA+


ACER - AL1916W-19 TFT LCD WIDE, 500:1,BLACK
AL1916W - 19 TFT LCD WIDE, 500:1 CONTRAST RATIO, 300 CD/M2 BRIGHTNESS, 8MS RESPONSE TIME, 1440 X 900, 150 DEGREE HORIZONTAL VIEW ANGLE, 130 DEGREE VERTICAL VIEW ANGLE, BLACK, INTERNAL POWER ADAPTER

Compared to the Dell 2005FPW what do you think. Will the native res be an issue?? Have not confirmed if it is hDCP compatible but I doubt it

wow....I have no experiance with that WS res, but at that price I would jump all over it...heck that's like what 250 US?

250US is not quite $350. The canuck dollar is doing quite well

$1.20-1.23 = $1.00 US

Roughly is $310 Canadian

yeah it is a good deal , I got some info appears no DVI on it but the info is conflicting so until I find someone who actually has in stock cannot say but it does have a WXGA+ screen vs 2005 Dell with WXGA, what the diff is with the "+" I have no clue. It is not HDCP compliant but comes with a 3yr warranty as well.

This res seems to be common on Apple and mac laptops in the 17" series, now if this is on 19" I have no clue as to the diff

My laptop runs at that res, and its nice, I like my 19 normal better though, but that might just be be cuase my laptop is a litle dark.

Its good for movies and a lot of other stuff. seems like a good deal

I am gonna stick with my Dell 2005 10 days of dell deals for now as it is solid. I checked the Gateway 21" out but for the extra bux for me it is not worth it as I do not plan to watch HD on a 20" set, I have been spoiled already
