I have the westinghouse, it was a good deal and works well
here is my review on it:

http://www.widescreengamingforum.com...pic.php?t=6325

BTW: most wide screen monitors stretch to the entire screen and will not lock the aspect ration when using 4:3 content

Though if you don't want the image stretched you can set that in the newest nvidia drivers (it will stretch to the largest it can with still keeping aspect ratio), for video most media player apps will allow you to stretch or keep the aspect ratio.

yeah that NEC is an excellent monitor

It uses a very high grade AS-IPS panel from LG which gives you the best color gamut of any another TFT technology and in theory should give you the best viewing angels because of the technology. also it is a 20 inch panel meaning that it will look sharper than the other two panels in question as the resolution is the same, the dot pitch will be lower.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

i do think the ACER and other 22inchers with those specs use a CMO panel just like the Westinghouse. Though either CMO means the panel is 16.7 million color through differing (which is very likely to keep costs down) or the image processor on the Westinghouse uses a different differing algorithm than the others. I have however noticed that the color characteristics are the same on the Westinghouse as the ACER (so acer could just be quoting specs from CMO).

oh sorry ^^ forgot to mention the Westinghouse does have aspect ratio controls in hardware for component, componsite, and svideo (just not dvi or vga)

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

most cards can do a resolution that would fall into 1080p and most newer video cards can encode 1080i via component or DVI (dont know how many card can do 1080p through component). Though only a few cards do this with HDCP
