I have a Samsung 22" widescreen. I'm sure there's some (relatively) simple math that can be used to figure out what you're asking, but, unfortunately, I'm not seeing it right now. However, I AM noticing that the numbers you're presenting seem 'off'. 1920 => 1680 is a significant movement, but 1080 => 1020 is not. My own 22" is currently set at 1680 x 1050, making me wonder how your ratios work out. 1920/1080=1.77777777, denoting a 16:9 ratio 1680/1020=1.647058..., denoting a really mismatched pairing. It comes out to something like 14.8:9 OR 16.5:10 Peace, Gman http://www.thevenusproject.com/index.php "The entire future of humankind is yet to be written" ----- Original Message ----- From: "rudy" <rudylopeznc@xxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, December 07, 2009 9:39 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: GMan - LCD resolution questions >I had to rush this as I had to step out, not sure if it was clear.
