BenQ has announced the availability of what it claims is the industry's first desktop LCD to use a 16:9 aspect ratio. The new model, the E2200HDA, will fit widescreen HD content without the black bars that most current commercial displays have.
The display measures 21.5 inches diagonally, and can playback full 1080p content (1920x1080) from a variety of sources "without losing any detail."

I am confused, isn't this what widescreen does? Even all the movies I have that are written for widescreen have the "black bars" on the picture when used on my HDTV or Dell 2407WFP (although its technically 16:10).
Anyway, it will be interesting to read some reviews on it when the time comes.

Oops.
I was mistaken, I've always thought that computer monitors were 16:9 like the HDTV's, but I found out it was 16:10 !
That's really stupid!
They should have just made it 16:9 in the first place !
16:9 doesn't mean there will be no more black bars. It all depends on what ratio they shot the movie in. If the aspect ratio is 2.35:1 on the movie then you will have black bars on top and bottom. Now, if the movie is shot in 1.78:1 aspect then you wont have any black bars on a 16:9 hdtv. Hope this helps
Yeah, many movies are even "wider" than the 16:9 ratio so you still get black bars. Wonder why they decided to go with 16:10 on monitors instead of the 16:9 ratio standard for TVs.
Too bad BenQ is garbage. Substandard parts and quality. Kinda like a Buick.................the "poor man's Cadillac"................a car that all the brothas drive.
