Earth to nomu: (a) all television and console content from hereon out is 16:9. (b) people don't always have access to their television. Could be that your kids are using the tv, could be your wife. Could be that you're at work. Could be that you're in your home office and you just want to...

No. I use my TV and my monitor for my console/movie usage. 2 people can't use the TV at the same time. Sometimes the computer is all you have. It's absurd to use this line of arguing, you may as well be arguing for a taller than wide rectangle aspect, so long as it has more pixels than anything...

Better be 16:9 and not something arbitrary and used by no media like 16:10 and 5:4.

And the only reason to need DisplayPort is... oh wait, it's just the same digital signal in a totally incompatible format so that computer manufacturers didn't have to pay 2 cents extra per product for an HDMI license. HDMI isn't pointless just because you don't use the audio part. It is...

LOL, display port. Epic fail.

Same here, I want eIPS at 1080p. PVA has good contrast, but it accomplishes it by murdering shadow detail and gamma stability. It's essentially useless technology next to IPS, I don't know why Samsung keeps crapping it out. Nothing to see here, folks, move along.

Sorry, but for anything portable, the load times and energy usage of a mechanical drive is a huge turn-off for many people. The new version is also far more pocketable.

Hilarious how half the posts in this thread, or any PSPGo thread, are complaining about ergonomics. Why the hell would a flat thing with curved sides be worse than a flat thing with rectangular sides? Dee dee dee. It's unfortunate that UMD, a battery hogging mechanical disc drive, had to exist...

You're looking at it ass-backwards. With 16:10 you just have an arbitrary addition of pixels that guarantees black borders on 16:9 standard material. Why is that good? Why would I want that? That incurred cost is far greater than the real estate benefit because 1080p is PLENTY of vertical...

This was a response to your assertion that 1080p monitors lower the monitor's value. Why are you responding with overscan gibberish that is a moot point in the argument since it could afflict either ratio equally? What flexibility and functionality? You mean guaranteed black bars or vertical...

Correct, it's reducing the vertical res slightly to eliminate black bars or improper scaling on 16:9 content. The intelligence of the internal scalar will determine which of those you'll get, but one of them is guaranteed. You lose a measly 120px of vertical desktop real estate, but you remove...

16:10 is a standard for nothing. Not for blu-ray, not for HD consoles, not for HDTV. And by using such a deviant ratio, you've gauranteed yourself black bars for television and games that otherwise wouldn't exist, or a vertically distorted image should your monitor's internal scalar (like most)...

Huh? That would be the proper procedure. What is your infatuation with 16:10 anyway? Do you support 2050 or 1920 horizontal resolution? You can deviate from standards all day on either side, it's of no benefit because there is no tv program or game that uses 16:10 or 5:4 ratios. All it does...

albovin, you are confusing the hell out of people. The only difference between 1080 and 1200 vertical resolution is 120px more unoccupied space. Since games and tv use 1080p, specifically, you want a 1080p native. A 1200p native will require special scaling support that most monitors fuck up in...

Genres that don't work very well on kb/mouse don't come to the PC for the same reason RTS games rarely come on consoles: sales depend on the consumer having that device. And since 100% of consoles don't come with mice, and 100% of computers don't come with gamepads, there you have it. OP, I'm...
