Hardware How big is your monitor?

[wiki]

22 inch HP w2207 (1680x1050). Running my Wii on it using a X2VGA2:

i'm interested in buying a x2vga2, it's exactly what i want. just a quick question, does it do 1:1 scaling? that is, does it stretch the image vertically to fit the monitor's 16:10 or are there black bars on top and bottom? thanks

26'' Samsung LCD.

4 monitors ranging from 15 inches to 22 (I think there are a few pictures around here somewhere) but aside from the 1 19 inch LCD they are all crt + a TV (would be 2 TVs but one of my S-video leads broke and 6 screens is excessive even for me).

My main monitor is a 19" w1907 and I also have a 32" Sharp TV next to my PC which I use for watching anime and playing games with a gamepad.

Real PC gamers use 19" panels for minimal input lag.

Or CRTs.

I'm not one to measure, but bigger when erect, that's for sure.

sure. Try gaming at 2560x1600 on a 30" LCD and dual 8800GTXs and tell me youd keep that 19 incher...

For clarification, by 'real gamer' I'm referring to the competitive tourney-level type. Those who want every advantage possible over the opponent. A 30" monitor will hurt their chances in several ways.

I have black bars on the top and bottom. Not sure if they would be still visible if the image was stretched to 16:10 instead of 16:9 though, because I believe it's stretched to 16:10. See, my monitor has a scaling option (Fill to aspect ratio and Fill to screen), but when I choose 'Fill to screen' it still displays the black bars. Fill to aspect ratio results in the image bing displayed in a small (1:1?) 'window'.
Hope this answers your question. BTW, I can't display 4:3 format properly (1:1) on this monitor using the X2VGA2. Weird stuff, but at least 16:9 480p Wii games work like a charm
