ASUS Striker II Extreme

[Tyke]

The NEC 30' is sweet but the one thing it doesn't have is a built in scaler. The new Dell and the Gateway(I'm using) 30's have internal scalers. In the case of the gateway it uses the HQV realta scaler which is considered in home theater circles to be the best on the market. It's really not an issue if you can run everything at 2560x1600, but for lower res the scaler gives you a wicked picture at non native resolutions. I'll bet the picture on the NEC will kick the Dell and Gateways tho.

It looks great at 1920 X 1200, just been running Crysis at that resolution. In Windows the text is really sharp. Apart from Crysis everything else will be standard resolution anyway, which believe me is awesome!! Tried NVidia scaling and the picture looked worse when playing Crysis, so it must be scaling well. According to all the reviews and comments I have seen, the scaling is outstanding on this monitor.

Have a look at this review where he says the scaling is the best on the market:
