question on monitors

Can anyone tell me what monitors support progressive scan? crt i would prefer but lcd's can be fine too.

You retard, any res above 800x600 or what is "pro scanned" as they say. TV use that term because the use interlaced signals, and the new "so called HiDEF" ones use a pro scanning technique of 480p 720p 1080I (which is the real HiDef) and now 1080p.
Monitors have always used that Pro scan res. (anything above the 800x600 res)
I use the term retard , because youve always been a prick to me and I hate you.

your mother HIYO!!! i win. :dennis:

My god, do you ever wonder why your name was changed to asshat? And, you shouldn't even be talking since you yourself obviously don't know what a progressive scan picture is. It's not just resolutions 800x600 and up (how would 480p qualify then, though you've stated that as one?). In fact, resolution has nothing to do with it.

The difference between interlaced and progressive simply put is that in an interlaced signal a picture is broken up into half, though these halves are more like even and odd numbers (where half of all natural numbers are even or odd, but even and odd alternate in sequence). The "even" pieces are shown, followed by the "odd" pieces, and these alternate in a cycle at a rate of 60 per second (50Hz for PAL). Since only really half the picture is being transmitted at any given instant, bandwidth is halved without halving the resolution. Progressive scan simply doesn't bother with this and just shows the whole picture at once. All computer monitors - whether CRT, LCD, plasma, whatever - are progressive scan more-or-less (though they are not restricted to a vertical refresh rate of 60Hz like pro scan TVs). So you're fine. :thumbup:

PS - the p at the end of 480p and 720p stand for progressive scan. Also, 1080i is actually an interlaced (poke, asshat, stab) signal spec, which is what the "i" stands for. yes, "progressive" starts with a p, not i.

so if i were to get a tft monitor like a widescreen one.. and i connect it to my xbox or x360 it will support 720p or 1080i? or will it just be 420p? Like this one i want to get.

It'd be progressive, but i dont think its got an HDMI input for the 360...has it? it doesnt say...

Good monitor for a PC tho! 8ms...

yea i want to get it and it got a nice resolution and only $155.99! might get it this month or next month

EDIT: Oops... yea yu'd have to get the optional VGA cable for the 360 which is high-def so it'll look v nice! :thumbup:

yes you are right! http://www.mwave.com/mwave/skusearch.hmx?S...riteria=2150603

I dont know what to believe bout the monitor... is the monitor actually 1280x854? or is it only 1024x768? because other sites says it is 1024x768 >_> and in the reviews of newegg says you can put it at 1280x854.
