As someone who routinely watched 16:9 content on a 4:3 monitor, I never found the black bars an issue. I would think that adding a 60 pixel bar on top and bottom of a 1080 pixel image would be pretty insignificant.
I rarely read scanalations, but when I do I prefer rotating my 4:3 monitor 90 degrees and using my desktop software to rotate the displayed image to match.

For comic scans, a pivot function is perfect.
You can tilt the screen 90° and watch them fullscreen in their original format. It's also good for writing/coding and ebooks. Some monitors have an autodetect function for pivot, so you can tilt the screen and the desktop resolution will change automaticly. |

also if you're still gunning for a 16:10 monitor, PS3 and blu-ray players will be stretched to fit the 16:10 aspect ratio but PCs and the xbox360 won't have this issue. |

To fit an image with one aspect ratio into a screen with another, you can:
-fit the image and put black bars where there is no image -fill the screen with the image and have parts of the image be chopped off -stretch the image to make it fit The best way for watching anime is to have black bars. Stretching results in a weird and stretched looking image and filling means the entire image isn't displayed. |

That's pretty significant if it is. This is a 1920x1200 24" screen playing a 16:9 movie I guess and the black bars are pretty big. |

That is more than the difference between 16:9 and 16:10. About 1/3 of the total height are black.
16:9 would be 1920x1080? That's just an extra 120 pixels which would be black, not 400 like in this picture. I'd say this movie has bars on 16:9 too. I have looked at my version of this movie and it is in a 1280x532 format. That's not a 16:9 movie. My black bars are even bigger than those in the picture though. From the screenshot, I'd say mine is missing some lines. Last edited by Dhomochevsky; 2012-04-17 at 19:54. Reason: research =) |

A 23 inch diagonal screen at 16:9 aspect ratio is 20.1x11.3in. Not including black bars, a 24 inch diagonal screen at 16:10 ratio displaying 16:9 content is 20.4x11.5in and is roughly equivalent to a 23.4 inch screen with a ratio of 16:9. So the image even with the black bars on the 24 inch screen will be bigger than the image without black bars on the 23 inch screen.
btw, RE Afterlife is 2.40:1 ratio. Not 16:9. It'll have bars on a 16:9 screen as well. |

Think some of the issues of LCD screens are blown out of proportion. The tech has it limitation and I doubt it will get any better. If you are looking for a perfect screen LCD is probably not what you want. Most films have a different aspect ratio for widescreen pictures, funnily enough I don't think any of them uses the 16:9 format. |

Sony and panny will be pushing oled in the next couple of years onto the mass market, that raises the question if getting a high end LCD will be any benefit at all. I personally would suggest getting a mid rage lcd, like the dell, and save to rest until oled hits the mass market. At least then, if you plan on to sell the screen, you won't make a massive lost, which will happpen with the pro graded LCDs. |

Kind of. But the issue with LCDs are that the pro graded screen are high optimised for one primary function, for colour reproduction, moving images, response time or low input lag. So if you want an around LCD those pro screens are that great.
If you can afford it I would go for one of those pro screens used in studio, broadcasting and film shooting, some of those JVC, flanders and panny(plasmas) could fit your requirement better than those NEC, Eizo or HP you have listed. |
