I am looking at buying the DELL 30" 3007WFP-HC (2560 x 1600) simply because it is much cheaper than the Apple Cinema display and I believe it uses the same panel.
My question is what happens when I want to do things that require a smaller resolution.
For instance watching Bluray movies at 1080P or playing games that don't support that high of a res (ex 1920 x 1200).
I have heard this monitor does not have a hardware scaler, so I guess it is not possible to run it in a 1920 x 1200 resolution.
Dell lists the following capable resolutions:
VESA, 1280 x 800 - 50 kHz Horizontal, 60.0 Hz Vertical
VESA, 2560 x 1600 (digital) - 99 kHz Horizontal, 60 Hz Vertical
Will things look funny if I try and play a Bluray or play games at a lower res? A big part of me getting this monitor is for these multimedia activities.
