Comments
Being that this new "professional" monitor sports a 1920X1200 resolution and a 16/10 aspect ratio, can it correctly display an image from a 1080P 'only' source 9 such as those produced from a gaming console like a PS3 or a BluRay player?
It has an HDMI port included, but is it good for anything other than a computer signal that can be adjusted to the native resolution?
Will a signal from a fixed resolution (1080P) source be stretched to fit ending up distorted or will it just leave a black bar on the upper and or lower edges displaying properly, without distortion?
Additionally, can it display any other 16/9 aspect ratio signals? 720P? If so, this would be the best, most versatile monitor available.
