I agree. Good thing the Acer has no built-in speakers LOL

@Hellboy_101: I was editing my post above before you saw it...the Acer IS HDCP compliant YAY
Also, don't buy into what everyone says in those reviews. Anyone and everyone writes on there, and some people, bless their hearts, are morons. Just look for negatives that are repeated from one post to another.

The best thing to do is get one in front of you that has power and ask yourself "When I turn it on, does it return the favor?"

Honestly 1920x1200 and 1920x1080 look practically identical. Only 120 pixels difference.

I use my PS3 on my 22" 1680x1050 with the console set to 1080p. So whatever it ends up being scaled to, it looks great. Especially since most games are 720p anyways.
