I've got a Dell 2407 (thanks killmoms) I've had it for over a month. It's easily the best investment I've made in quite a while. Banding issues are nil so that isn't a problem.
As for the stretching. What are you concerned about the monitor stretching? When it comes to emulation yes it does stretch images, although I think that's more of an issue with the fact that my OS is set to 1920 x 1200 and thus the emulator take on that resolution, and that's only if I enlarge it to "full screen". Images tthat come through imputs are not stretched. I especially like the fact that it tells you what resolution you're getting. As for the component quality, I don't know if that's a problem with the monitor, or the fact that it's HD. The common analogy is that putting a low def image on a high def screen is like looking at something under a microscope. You're going to see imperfections. Because this is the only HD screen I own, and I have yet to put anything > 480p into it I couldn't really tell you by comparison. I'd suspect any quality issues are due to what I stated though. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

#1 I got mine new. (revision A03 I believe)
#2. I'm not a PC gamer so I can't really answer your question there. When I play emulators it does stretch them, so I'm assuming you'll have the same issue with the games you're speaking of #3 The funny thing is that the images seem partially stretched. They don't go all the way to the edges, but they seem a bit wider than a standard 4:3. It doesn't affect gameplay at all though as I was playing fighters and sidescrollers. This could also just be just what the PS2 does though. I believe the resolution the monitor read was 674 x 224 or something weird like that. #4 I already answered and it's not really a fair question. Of course it's worse than a tube TV for standard def images because of what I stated above. If you want the best image possible out of Gamecube/Xbox/PS2 then you shouldn't play on an HD screen. The quality I was speaking of was comparing images from those systems to other HD displays, I don't know how that will compare. About 1080i/p I couldn't really tell you that either because I don't have any sources for that. I don't have an Xbox 360, Blu-Ray, or HD-DVD player, and my compurter isn't quite beefy enough to play 1080i/p videos that I download off the net (That could just be a problem with the quicktime because the requirements for it seem much higher than other files). If you can find me a two non .mov files one that's 720 p and one that's 1080 p I'd be more than happy to tell you if there's a difference. (The ones off of Microsots website, not suprisingly and ironically, suck ass). There's nowhere I can't reach.
