wide aspect pixsel monitors?
Anyone out their in DVE land using one of the new wide screen WIDE ASPECT monitors? Ive had my eye on the new Dell 24″ wide screen monitor:
I was just wondering how these monitors go in relation to pixel aspect ratio. For instance in After effects, working on a normal monitor you can select pixel aspect ratio correction, which gives you a correctly stretched wide comp when working on a wide screen project. However as most normal monitors native pixel aspect is 1:1, the trade of is that you get jaggy edges.
The specs for the dell say its image aspect is 16:1, is this the same as pixel aspect? In any case how would this relate to working in AE on a wide screen project? would you no longer need to use the pixel aspect view correction?

The pixel layout is 16:10 not 16:1, 1920/16=120×10=1200(1920X1200), the pixels are square, same as a regular monitor[pablo] “I was just wondering how these monitors go in relation to pixel aspect ratio.

If doing DV the resolution is 720×480, pixel aspect .89 x 1, if doing a DV wide screen project the DV resolution is still 720×480, but the pixel aspect is changed to 1.2 x 1(stretched), viewing a video project on a computer monitor is good for composition but a widescreen project should be viewed on a wide screen analog video monitor for final check, also then you might not see any jaggies.

oops, i meant 16:10 – anyways thanks for the info. In anycase its definately a sweat looking monitor, and for the price it simply cant be beat!
