I was looking for BenQ gaming monitors that displays up to 1920x1080 but also has the extra 4:3 resolutions (1400x1050 and below) so if someone can list me those monitors ill thankful.

What is it with people and trying to run games at strange resolutions and stretched? Just set up your computer like a normal person and use 1920x1080 or if you need higher frame rates (rare to see anything other than integrated graphics not be able to hit reasonable framerates at 1080p at low settings even on newer games) lower it to 1366x768 in your game settings. Stretching a 4:3 image to 16:9 is a horrible idea since it will actually screw with your perception and...
Most monitors will support VESA resolutions including 4:3 ones, but:
1) Don't limit yourself to BenQ, they have a few ok screens and a lot of garbage. Usually you can find an LG/Acer/Asus monitor for the same price with better overall quality.
2) Don't use strange resolutions unless absolutely necessary. It won't break your system, but if you're using a strange resolution you're likely doing something horribly wrong.
 
the scaling can be done either from gpu control panel or the monitor itself as long as it supports 1:1 pixel maping else stretching the image is inevitable. all gaming Benq XL / RL do have smart scalling feature that support 4:3. alternately you can use gpu scaling and a custom res like (1400x1050) through gpu properties. there isnt any list of 1:1 pixel maping capable monitors that im aware of.
 


I only need 1400x1050 for games since it makes objects stretched and clear but 1080p for any browsing related stuff. I just need a list of monitors that display up to 1400x1050 since I got an RL2240HE and it doesnt go past 1280x1024 in 4:3. I don't care what brand

That said, most monitors should support it, my Dell U2312 lists it as do a lot of others. It will scale it, but you'll need to go into the monitor menu each and every time you want to change it.
