I currently have an asus 24" inch monitor that only has a native res of 1680x1050

I want a new 24" that can go higher and look even sharper!!!

1680x1050 is not exactly a high res and I want a monitor with an even higher one!

Should I? I'm not sure if it will even be any better so that's why I'm asking. I see people with 24" monitor's

that can go to like 1980x1200 or something like that. Wouldn't that look like waaaay sharper???

Thanks in advance

As long as it's in a 16:9 resolution, it's an improvement. I've got a 22" monitor that came with my knackered PC that goes up to 1680x1050, which is 16:10. That's not proper widescreen, which is a bit annoying. I've got the same situation with my laptop. 15", 1440x900, 16:10 again. :(

What's it like using a 24" monitor for everyday tasks? Get a bit much? I'm considering getting one (1920x2000).

It's awesome :p Just the right size imo. 30" is too big for me and too expensive. Right now I have a 24" Dell 2408WFP @ 1920x1200 and 20" Dell 2007FP @ 1600x1200. Combined resolution 3520x1200. Best setup I've ever had and I don't plan to upgrade anytime soon.

They're both beautiful S-PVA calibrated panels that offers great viewing angles and color accuracy and saturation.

By the way to the OP if you're after visual experience, I would highly recommend the Dell 2408WFP. Don't jump on those cheap TN panels. I have them around but definitely not what I would use on a daily basis; only for spare computers.

well beat me to it :laugh: guess i'll say it anyway

There is no 24" lcd monitor at 1680x1050 (that i could find anyway)

the standard resolution for 22" lcd's are 1680x1050 and theres even a few pushing 1920x1200 it just seems pointless for them to have a 24" at 1680x1050 as the quality would begin to suffer

^ Note just my oppinion :)

you should totally smash the monitor over his head and demand a refund ^_^

seriously though thats messed up who was the guy? should of checked the model # out on the monitor to see what kind of specs it has that would of shown it :p

I never even knew about it the whole time that he was telling me that he got me this really awesome 24" monitor

i started to get suspicious when I saw it could only get to 1680x1050, but then he told me that was a really high res

I tried to call him today and hes not answering so Im gunna keep trying

I got this guy through my uncle who also said he was very good. He built my uncles PC about 5 years ago and it had core 2 duo's at 1.6

So I thought he seemed genuine. I'll take your idea though and smash the monitor over his head.

AND TEHN IMA NOT CALL AMUBELNZES AND HE R DIES LAAWWWLLL

Seriously...

      Exactly. They won't go 100 because current gen consoles are simply too old for any groundbreaking graphics or gaming experience otherwise. They will go with standard (console) price 70 or go with 80 if they really want to go premium. Of course they will have more expensive options too with some useless cosmetics as always.

      Doesn’t surprise me at all. God is light & He gave us life so it sounds almost logical that we would therefore emit a certain amount of light.

    • Motrix Next 3.9.6

      By Copernic · Posted

      Motrix Next 3.9.6 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.6 changelog: New Features Clipboard management — App-owned copy actions no longer trigger the Add Task auto-detect popup. aria2 input compatibility — Multi-line aria2-style task input is supported for URLs with per-task options such as out=. BitTorrent IPv6 DHT — Added IPv6 DHT support and related configuration. File category URL patterns — File category rules can match URL patterns with validation and localized hints. Task status tags — Added clearer waiting and sharing states for task cards. Download event bridge — Added an aria2 WebSocket event bridge for faster download notifications. Improvements Improved task list transitions and preserved task state during tab switches. Kept RPC origin access enabled for local integrations. Restored AppImage stripping in release builds after beta validation. Added localized preference guidance across supported languages.
