Hi all
I have just taken delivery of a 20" monitor which the vendor assured me has a resolution of 1920x1080. It doesn't, its native resolution is 1600x900.
I have identified another Viewsonic monitor from a different vendor which definitely has a 1920x1080 resolution but it only has a D-sub connector. Is this something I should be concerned about (I know that I can get a D-sub to HDMI or D-sub to DisplayPort cable).
Thanks
Paul Newton

Never use a D-SUB connector in todays world! D-SUB is analog, all video is digital nowadays. Thus that monitor must be really old, if it only has a D-Sub. Any Analog2Digital adapter means quality loss.
There are so many good digital monitors on the market, why do you picked that old stuff? If you need a reliable source, just go to www.dell.com, their monitors are really stable and for long usage.

The smallest 1920x1080 Dell monitor is 22" - I wanted 17" if possible (I don't think it is), otherwise 19-20" max,

What model number is the second one Paul?
I find it kind of odd that a modern flat panel capable of full HD would only have an analogue input.
Hi Alan
VIEWSONICLED VA2055SA 19.5 Full HD 25ms 3000:1 1920x1080 VGA
And, in answer to Jurgen, what I was looking for was a 17" monitor with 1920x1080. I can't find one so I started looking at 19" and 20" monitors with 1920x1080. This is the only one I came up with. I don't want anything bigger than 20" because it would take up too much room. I did find one which is designed for professional/studio use but at over £400 I decided against that one!

VGA only. Well, you can get DVI or HDMI to VGA converters but this is no different than the first monitor, a VGA connection is a D-SUB type connection. The old Atari joystick style!
Well it is different from the first monitor (1600x900) because the Viewsonic is 1920x1080 albeit with a D-sub/VGA output.

There is another model, Viewsonic VA2055SM which has similar specs but which includes DVI-D output - would that be a better option?
Your thoughts, Jurgen?
