With the ASUS VG248QE, the aspect ratio can be controlled when using non-
native resolutions. Viewing 4:3 images on a generic widescreen LCD monitor
usually results in image distortion. However, with ASUS VG248QE, you will have
the option of choosing visuals to be shown in either a Full or 4:3 aspect ratio to
ensure that the original image is displayed perfectly and correctly.
