I have one more question. I know some monitors can be used as tv tunners and you can connect different systems like playstation and such, but is the picture quality still good or does it decrease?

IMO 16:9 is too wide. Obliviously id get a 1920 x 1080 over 1680x1050 if it was cheaper, but I prefer 16:10.

Wow. Thanks for the information! Well...I guess Ill just have to throw it away, as im sure it would be more to repair then its worth. But heck, I got a 16" crt along with this one for 10 bucks. the 16"er alone makes it worth it to me. Thanks again.

OK well im gonna check and see if there is a way to lower the REs down to 720p instead of 1080i.

maybe I'll go to 24" 16:10 why they're still around as 16:9 seems to be what everyone is going to. Thanks to all who have chimed in.

I'll tell ya what, I came from 1680 X 1050 screens and went to the 1920 X 1080 setup and I am so happy I did, the additional space is awesome the problem with going from 1080 to 1200 tall is it's normally a good price jump

www.iz3d.com - 22" 3D gaming monitor one of those, I got one for christmas =) Not opened it yet though, everyone's still in bed so I gotta wait :\

Yeah, same thing happened when we saw that our Sony home theater decoder couldn't read Pro Logic II, and one or two Dolby formats founds in some movies. My dad was, well, mad too. We also found like two years after buying our 24" Sony CRT TV that it did not support 480P... yet again mad End of the line? Sony is excellent on the marketing side. Salesman are ready to do ANYTHING to get you to buy that $2000 TV.

Is there any other strong magnet in your room? Have you physically moved the monitor to a different room and tried it there? This is a strange issue, and unless your neighbor is smuggling laboratory/military grade magnets in his house, this should not happen. Does your monitor make rattling noise when you shake it slightly?

Just an idea, worth a try. I tried this and it worked but only in achieving the half of my goal: But the problem then was that it "said" that my TV has a resolution of 1200 (i think) x 800 ( or something ) and it applied the same...
