The Smart Man got a screaming deal on this new 22 inch Acer monitor, and so bought it for me as a "just because" gifty. I'm still getting used to it, but so far I'm thinking it's pretty darn sweet.
When incorrect aspect ratio annoys you as much as it annoys me -- you can identify it from 100 yards with one eye closed on a foggy day wearing sunglasses. :)
Second the call on the Bad Aspect Ratio Visibility Allergy. I HATE going into Big Box stores and seeing most of the HDTV set wrong. Definitely a failure of encoding and programming in the design of DTV and HDTV that this isn't automatically handled.
Ah. I can tell in Real Life if the ratio isn't correct, but I doubt I could in a picture that small. Shawn, I was expecting that there was some sekrit computery trick to it. IWhatever you had said, I probably would've believed...
And Janiece -- nice Smart Man and nifty monitor (forgot to say that the 1st time). When my office moves next month I will be getting a 22" monitor for work. Yay!
I am a Hot Chick living in Castle Rock, CO with my fabulous family. We have a rescue dog named "Jackson," and she's a Basenji/Shepherd mix. She's something of a head case, but we love her. I'm a U.S. Navy vet, and I currently work as an Enterprise Solutions Architect, specializing in VoIP and multimedia contact center design. I care about social justice, libraries, science, the U.S. Constitution and the military. I'm a tax and spend liberal in a largely red county, but I try not to be stabby about it. I knit for charity. Stupidity, cupidity and wanton assholery piss me off, and I'm more than a little soft when it comes to dogs and those who serve others. I blog about whatever I feel like. I use foul language, so if that sort of thing offends you, feel free to fuck off now - if I'm unwilling to clean up my language for my fabulous Great Auntie Margie, I'm unlikely to do so for you. Newcomers are welcome here, especially those who disagree with me, but trolling and spamming will be met with the Shovel of Doom™.

I love my 22" monitor, although sometimes the print isn't easy to read. But I can fix that easily enough when I need to.
Congrats, both on the monitor and on having such a great Smart Man.
I have never seen your desk so clean...
Dorothy Domestic for the coming out photo...
Good on the Man...
I do indeed have a great Smart Man. :-)
I just thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for using the correct aspect ratio on your new monitor.
Sincerely. :)
Shawn, the Smart Man wouldn't be caught dead using the incorrect aspect ratio, and since he installed it...
Shawn -- how did you know that the aspect ratio was correct from that little picture?

Lucky you! Viewing from my 19" regular bulky monitor that is not a flat screen...
color me Green with envy!

SmartMan treats you right. It's one of the many reasons we love SmartMan. (In a totally appropriate and platonic sort of way, of course! ;)
ooo, shiny.
And what Shawn said.

The future pisses me off at times.
Oh, and nice 22" monitor.
