Hi I'm currently using the samsung 2220wm with my ps3 ,
Everything works fine but here's the deal my monitor maximum resoltuion is 1650x1080

But for some reasons i can actually play in 1080p, but it gives a warning saying : not optimum mode :
recommended mode : 1650 x 1080

My question is : is it dangerous to play in 1080p even tho my max res is ''supposed'' to be 1650x1080 ?
thanks
 
It's pretty dangerous. Monitors can explode if you run them above the native resolution.
 
Haha, at Casio. But, if the max resolution is 1650 x 1080 then it should not go to 1080p. 1080p is 1920 x 1080. if its anything less than that it is not 1080p.

Well I know it sounds weird but i can really go 1080p not only does it say 1920x1080 when i go into the screen options but i can also see the difference in terms of graphics , etc...

What it is saying is that it is receiveing a 1920x1080 signal... but it can't display 1920 vertical lines of resolution. That monitor can only display 1630. Digital displays have FIXED pixels. A display simply can not activate pixels it doesn't physically have on the panel.

Now depending on the video processor of the display, it is possible to display 1630x1080 and simply "chop off" 290 lines of resolution... but that also means you wont be seeing the whole image.

Another possible option is to scale the 1920x1080 signal to 1630x917, thus you'll see the whole picture, but will lose a little bit of both vertical and horizontal detail, as the native resolution will have to be scaled down.

Basically though, you are going to be limited by what your display allows you to do, and or by what the source allows you to do.
