Hi guys,

I have been offered one at a really good price (R2 400) and I am thinking of getting it. But I have read about scaling issues with the monitor.

What do you guys think?
Anything better for the price?
Thanks
 
If you are using it with your PC there will be no problem, if you have a 1080p source like a PS3/XBOX/bluray player etc. it will stretch the image to fit. The distortion is hardly noticeable though, if you didn't know it was happening you probably wouldn't see the difference.

It's a very good monitor, for R2 400 you can't really do better.
 
cool guys... Thanks.

I am just a bit worried that it is gonna be too big :( But will do some measuring
 
I thought it was too big at first, but you actually get use to the size.. now im beginning to think it's too small :D

All wide screen monitors and televisions suffer a factory fault whereby it shrinks after a while. i.e.: The user always needs a bigger one ;)

Buy the damn thing, you wont regret it. Total no brainer.
 
Buy it. You get used to the size and after a while it actually becomes normal. Its a shock going to work everyday to work on a CRT 21" Monitor.

That's nothing. At home I use a 47" 1920x1080 LCD and at work a 17" 1280x1024 CRT. Feels like I'm looking through a straw at work :(
 
cool

Or I can get a T240 for slightly cheaper. I am only considering it over the T260 as 26" really is too big for my space. Plus I am still gonna use my 19" as a second display so the real estate will be fine.

Eish. The T260 is not 26" wide, it is only 25.5" wide, which is only 1.5" bigger than a T240. Does that help?
