Dell 2407wfp A02 and the 1080p fit

[mikmak]

Hi All,
As many of you know the dell 2407 rev A02 lcd panel still has the 1080p input resolution being forced to fit on to the 1200 pixels height.
Now I can t have the monitor being replaced cause the three years warranty has expired and I do not want to replace this lcd monitor either.
I googled recently and I found that it exists a device named blackmagic hdlink which allows a real 1:1 mapping on monitors having a greater resolution like the 2407 one.
Guys...is there any other mapping transformation device like the blackmagic hdlink one which costs at most $100 ?
Thanks

You should be able to set it to maintain the proper aspect ratio in your graphics card's settings (and possibly in your monitor settings). A device as you describe should not be necessary.
