Acer X193W hates PS3

Zzz... Finally my Internet back to normal!

Result.

Gah! My internet is pretty screwed up the whole day yesterday! Still, remember what I have bought just a few days ago. Well, a Acer LCD Monitor, supposely to hook up my PS3 on the monitor and works. With DVI (HDCP), it should work wonderfully but end up partially compatible with my PS3. As you can see the picture above, the resolution is running on 960 x 720, which mean I lose 220 pixels on the right compare to the real resolution, 1280 x 720. No matter how I set it, it still end up to 960 x 720 but the monitor I bought can support up to 1440 x 900. It's a nice monitor but it end up doesnt fully compatible with my PS3. I'm waiting for DELL to ship me another 19" LCD monitor. That's all. I'm out. Thanks for viewing.

Acer X193W

A Budget LCD Monitor.

The Box.

It's been a while since my previous 17" CRT monitor had blown up. Since then, I have been using my parent's 32" HDTV to do almost everything for my computer. You might say it's nice but not really... Mom can get pretty annoying by nagging all the time. (>_<)||| Anyway, let's take a look at the LCD monitor.

Pretty nice.

I would say Acer offers a great price for a 19" LCD widescreen monitor for less than RM600. As most brand like Samsung, LG and etc have much higher price. Futhermore, this monitor supports DVI HDCP which is very useful for my PS3 as well. The contrast provided is very high. The only let down for this monitor that the response rate is 5 seconds. Not much of a distract though.

At the end of the day, I got myself another Y-splitter, HDMI to DVI cable and also a 5 meter LAN cable. All this are mostly to feed what my PS3 need. That's all for now. Thanks for viewing and see you.
