Hi, xtknight, It's been a while since I've posted here, but I've been following the updates to your guide - excellent stuff, as always. I've just come across this press release, and I was wondering if you knew about it. NEC LCD Technologies Announces New 22.5-inch LCD Module...

8800GT issues :s

The fact that the system boots normally into Windows, but without anything on the screen rules out any kind of hardware incompatibility between the card and the motherboard, PCI 2.0 issues or whatever. The fact that you're not seeing anything in BIOS rules out the possibility of a software...

You think I have enough cooling for my 8800GT?

Oh yes, 110 cfm is quite a lot. I never doubted there was enough cooling in there, i was just wondering if you could lower the number of fans by a notch or two :).

Nice setup. I suppose you have an additional 120 mm fan in front of the hard drives, blowing air out? If that's so, have you considered actually removing the bottom Antec fan, and maybe the one blowing air out of the CPU cooler (the one towards the front of the case), maybe combined with...

Good idea with the Cleaning subsection. Maybe it would be worth mentioning that, if anybody absolutely has to use an alcohol solution (which they shouldn't, but maybe everything else failed), they should only use diluted isopropyl, not any other type of alcohol. As far as I know, that's the only...

Worth a thousand words... although your initial description was quite accurate too - I just didn't expect such a close resemblance. Annoying problem. Of course, now I'm selfishly wondering whether it's common or not for these panels. I do use mine quite a lot too; my system is set to go into...

Could you upload a photo of it, please?

Albeit mostly academic, there's a problem with your test image: the conversion to JPEG made a mess of the color values - both the top and bottom actually only have three main shades now, and most of them aren't pure red. There's also the fact that most LCDs have trouble differentiating between...

I suppose he could mean it's going to be replaced by the 'Pro' model, just like the 20WGX2. If that's the case, it means it's still going to be available, but you may not get the same price - after all, a three-letter sticker could be worth, say, 200$... ;)

For what it's worth, it sounds like the exact same thing I noticed on my 20WGX2 Pro. I don't have any dead ones (portions of subpixels that are dark when they should be lit), but I do have several that are stuck (bright when they should be dark). None of them is bothersome; for one thing, only a...

I think it's worth mentioning that Tom's Hardware actually reviewed the 20WGX2, not the 20WMGX2 - the logo is clearly visible in the picture in the 'Connectivity' section. I think there's a distinct possibility that the units without the M had a different panel; I found at least two references...

I've been happily working and playing on a 20WGX2 Pro for almost two months now. It has the same panel as the 20WMGX2 (as reported in the guide). I posted about it in the old thread, sometime around mid-April; not a full review, just some info that may be useful. In short, it's an excellent...

LCD Buyer's Guide

After the first hour of working with the sharp text on this monitor, it became clear to me that I'll never go back to a CRT. Even a high quality aperture grille one just can't compete in this field. Indeed, they can't. On LCDs, the dot pitch is just an indication of the size of the displayed...

LCD Buyer's Guide

Here it is: The full post is a couple of pages back (at the default page size). Are you sure it isn't the dot pitch that's making it harder to look at? I'm saying this since you mentioned the smaller LCD - what's the pixel size on that compared to the NEC? If it's not that, can you identify...

Well, if you want a quick, straight answer, here it is: NO :D, it's not even worth thinking about. I wrote my thoughts on the comparison between the LP2065 and the 20WGX2 regarding text display in a post a couple of days ago. On the subject of reflections, I'm surprised you find them to be a...
