Aspect Ratio of a 1680x1050 monitor

[Fireball927]

Hello Everyone

I am thinking of buying a second monitor to match the aspect ratio of a 1680x1050 monitor that I think is 21 inches. I would like to buy a 23.6 or 24 inch monitor depending on the aspect ratio and I am considering the following options:

 

24 Inches:

Acer G246HL:

23.6 Inches:

Asus VS247H-P:

As you can see, I am trying to stay around/under $150.00, However I do have some flexibilty if you are willing to help me find a monitor

I would also like to know if aspect ratio is even important when pairing with a smaller moniotr

Thanks in Advance

@Fireball927 the acer looks nice from the window shopping experience. I'd go with that.

Decent for TN Monitor.

I have an Asus VS247H and I love it. Good quality, 60Hz, 1080p and great color. I think if you are pairing monitors you want the same aspect ratio, because you notice if you pair a widescreen laptop with a square-screen projector, the edges of the laptop screen go black to match? Maybe this is different when you are extending displays, but I would recommend the Asus one. I dont think resolution matters but you want the same ratio (21:9, 16:9) etc.

 

Hope this helps!

I think 16:10

[TheProfosist]

16:10 so 1920x1200

[Ryan Leech]

You need a 16:10 like a 1920x1200 or 2560x1600

[BenestoTech]

Ah yeah wait his monitor is a different ratio. my mistake so yeah go 1920x1200. so many edits wow 

[Fireball927]

16:10 so 1920x1200

Do you happen to know of any good monitors for about $150 thats 1900x1200?

[Fireball927]

I thought most widescreen 1080p monitors were 16:9?

Its not 1080p though. 1680x1050

[BenestoTech]

Its not 1080p though. 1680x1050

Asus has some but I think its nearer $200.

[Fireball927]

I cant find a reasonable 1920x1200 monitor

Asus has some but I think its nearer $200.

ASUS VS24AH-P its actually just above 200$ and is the cheapest of that resolution on Newegg.

I cant find a reasonable 1920x1200 monitor

Its considered more of an enthusiast/prosumer resolution.

I see. Thanks for the help

[TheProfosist]

I see. Thanks for the help

That Asus is a decent monitor so I would save up if you could 16:10 is still the master race.
