16 10 Vs 16 9 Monitor

The eyes aren't what they used to be so I'grand thinking of buying a new larger lcd monitor. My current main i is a 17" 1280x1024 which co-ordinate to my estimates is a 5:iv format. I had a 19" 1440x900, sixteen:x format simply it bankrupt.

Many 24" monitors have a 16:10 (1920x1200) footprint simply the one I'thou looking at (Acer P244w) is 16:9, 1920x1080. This means the width will be more than stretched like a true 1080p HDTV.

For properly scaled video it will await fine but when it's used as a desktop will the lack of height and greater width be more noticeable than a 16:10 (1920x1200) monitor?

My concern is that for desktop use the vertical viewing expanse won't be much larger than my current 17" which is about 10 one/ii" in top. By my estimates the 24" 16:ix may but exist about 12" in height which (aside from the greater resolution) won't make the screen much easier to read. Am I incorrect?

There'due south non much to do but then I can't practise much anyway.

You have to ignore those profile specs, the monitor is for my other pc. Information technology'southward non super fast right now with a 2 cadre E2180 cpu but the mboard tin can accept a 65ns or 45ns quad so I'm non likewise concerned about that. The mobo has onboard video with a manually switchable dvi or hdmi connector (via jumpers) and 4gb of 800mhz ddr2 memory. If necessary, I could add a 16x pci-e video card but that probably won't be needed.

I capeesh the truthful HD 16:ix aspect ratio for movies although many dvd movies are not but when I play movies I use KMPlayer and often fudge the size by playing with the height and width to arrange my taste even if they are not quite true to specs. With a 16:10 I'd probably suit the height and stretch out the sides outside the viewable screen if the A/R looked too odd.

Like I said if I just gain about one 1/2" for the acme then I'm concerned that the text won't appear much larger than my 17".

Does anyone know how the summate the viewable dimensions (h/west) of a 24" xvi:x and those of a 16:9? My geometry is bad.

There's not much to do but then I can't do much anyway.

After looking over the numbers and going with my need for the best pinnacle in a widescreen, even though it'due south a good price for the Acer 24" 16:9 (1920x1080), I'll wait for a deal on a 24" sixteen:10 (1920x1200).

Cheers for the info guys it was really helpful.

I completely agree with the height comment. I was leaning that style merely needed reassurance that I didn't miss something. It's besides bad because correct at present, locally, a comparably featured 16:ten 24" model is priced nearly $100 more than than the xvi:9 format which is on sale. I'm certain if I wait a few weeks one will turn up.

In that location's non much to practice but then I can't do much anyway.
