I've bought 226CW and trust me it has amazing colours, good blacks and almost no backlight bleeding. If it weren't for the TERRIBLE viewing angles it would be almost as good (or just as good considering the responce time) as PVA panels.

Finally someone who understands what I'm saying. My grudge isn't against Samsung it's against every corporation that is screwing the consumers. I have 500 freaking euros to spent and I can't find a complete monitor. And what's worse my choices are limited since gateway sceptre and dell are...

Jesus freaking christ Samsung, that's low. They released the monitor with a great panel to get good impressions on the press and forums and now they sell the new models with an inferior cheaper panel to cut costs. Problem is I want to buy the monitor from an online shop and I can't check if it's...

Fixed.

The reason 720p doesn't look good at all is the reason I'm whining about in this thread. First the monitor upscales the image and then it distorts the aspect ratio which is disastrous for the image quality. Actually the 16:9 -> 16:10 stretching does most of the damage for console gaming...

Actually that's why I'm "ranting" because I want to buy the monitor. If I didn't care about it I wouldn't make the thread. I don't understand your dedication in defending the honor of the company.

Purists? Try to play 4:3 PC games stretched in 16:10 and then tell me I'm a purist. Thing is the 1:1 pixel mapping/keep aspect ratio function doesn't even cost the company a single dime. Most of the the time it's lazyness -or ever worse- company tactics that create this problem. Knowing some...

I'm not saying the monitor sucks I'm saying Samsung sucks and every monitor manufacturer that doesn't even put a keep aspect ratio function or at least a 16:9 option. Seriously is it that hard to put a keep aspect ratio function? It's not even costly all they have to do is program the damn...

Gateway and Sceptre haven't released their monitors in most parts of Europe. Which sucks for me and for them because I would have bought one of their 22" monitors. Oh well I guess I'll give up buy the Samsung and eventually buy an HDTV too. Seriously though, Samsung sucks. It's 2007 for god's...

I second this question. After all this time I hope a gamer got this monitor. Does it at least have a keep aspect ratio function or a 16:9 setting? Please help.

Seems like the monitor informs you of the resolution of the input signal not the resolution it stretches the image to. Expected. No aspect ratio, no 1:1 pixel mapping. It was a given it'll look like crap. Thanks a lot Samsung, now I still can't decide. I mean c'mon would it be that difficult...

Thank you. Well that sucks. Not only it doesn't have 1:1 pixel mapping it also doesn't keep the aspect ratio. Can you check if at least there's an option for 16:9? I have no problem with stretching but not respecting the aspect ratio of the signal is just inexcusable for me.

OMG a person with a next-gen console and 226BW. Man I have so many things to ask. First of all do you see any small black bars in the top and bottom of the screen when you set your X360 at 720p?(which would mean that the monitor keeps the aspect ratio of the signal (16:9) instead of just...

What about picture quality on games and video? Which one did you find better?

No ugly stretching means that the monitor has some sort of automatic "keep aspect ratio" function? Please reply to this I really want to know.

So... does this have 1:1 pixel mapping? And has anyone seen both this and LG L226WT to compare?

Guys is it possible the whole 2ms mess is because the 2ms value is for GTG while the 5 ms is for white to black measurements?

Can someone who has the monitor confirm if it has 1:1 pixel mapping or at least some function that preserves the signal's aspect ratio (I need it for my PS3 :) ). Thank you!

I second that question. :)

The only specs page I could find about this TFT was in the link below. Not sure about the validity of the page and they seem to have included the real(?) contrast ratio: http://www.deck.ro/samsung/index.php?t=p&id=54 3000:1 contrast ratio (according to engadget), 2ms response time (GtoG)...

So the 226BW will be released on February? I can wait. Any word yet about 1:1 pixel mapping on that monitor?

And 1:1 pixel mapping. I was checking 225BW out and couldn't find if it had 1:1 pixel mapping although I had skimmed through 4 different reviews. Anyway I'll try to contact LG today. Maybe they'll know something we don't about release dates.

I agree, it's pretty freaking annoying not releasing release dates. I mean c'mon I want to buy a new LCD, should I have to wait or buy something else? Damnit LG, if you're gonna announce something announce it the right way. Are there any LG representatives we could contact via email to help us...

http://announcements.engadget.com/2007/01/05/lgs-got-5-new-lcd-monitors-for-you-and-you-and-you/ Now all we need is the damn release dates because I just sold my 19" Eizo TFT and I'm stuck with my prehistoric Sony G200 CRT. Make it happen LG. Also the article doesn't specify the differences...

Thanks man. :( Nope. I can't find neither Sceptre or Gateway TFTs anywhere. My only hope now that 225BW is out of the picture is LG L226WT and the possibility that it supports 1:1 pixel mapping.

Can someone confirm or deny if the Samsung 225BW has 1:1 pixel mapping? I'm getting desperate here... I can't find a 22" TFT with 1:1 pixel mapping, HDCP, below 8ms response time and decend colours/contast for the PS3 I want to buy. And to make matters worse I live in Europe and I can't find...

Do we know when it's gonna be released? The article implies January but I haven't heard any news yet about the exact date or specs.

Does this monitor support 1:1 pixel mapping or is it too early to ask?
