This may be an odd question..but does anyone know why there seems to have been a flood of 18.5" monitors on the market recently? More importantly..why on earth would anyone buy one?
They all seem to have a low resolution of 1366x768, with relatively average viewing angles/contrast ratios and well..nothing special about them. All of this for the same price or MORE than a standard 19" widescreen monitor (with 1440x900), and even more than the crazily high res Viewsonic 19" @ 1680x1050.
All I have managed to find out so far is that they are supposedly great for watching movies due to their 16:9 aspect ratio (compared to 16:10 on most widescreen monitors iirc?)..but is this really a benefit?
I don't know..was just confusing to me why there were so many on the market at the moment
Anyone got one and any experience of using one?
