[Retired] The LCD Thread

Thanks once again xtnight! NEC made my decision very easy anyway. After much attempted persuasion on my part, they refused to exchange any LCD for the 20WMGX2. It did seem strange to me that they were able to provide the LCD22WMGX so easily and yet nothing else despite my willingness to pay...

[Retired] The LCD Thread

Thank a lot, especially xtnight! Yes I'm using the Accusync LCD22WMGX as I type. I can't say I like it that much although it?s better than I thought it would be. The colours appear almost washed out, and not nearly as vivid as on the 20WGX². The biggest problem I have to say though is the...

[Retired] The LCD Thread

Hello there! I purchased a NEC 20WMGX2 in early 2006, having first sought advice here. In time it developed some kind of 'stain' at the top edge of the screen, almost like a liquid had been dripping and left a mark. It was permanent and very irritating. Anyway I told NEC about it, sent it...

20" 4:3/1600x1200 Choices

I definitely accept what you say wizboy, however there are some games such as hitman contracts which just stretch the image no matter what.

20" 4:3/1600x1200 Choices

I've owned the NEC 20WGX2 for few months now and its great, however I've gone through tons of units in order to try (pedantically!) to eliminate any backlight bleeding. Essentially though it's the 16:10 aspect ratio that is frustrating me. Basically I am a gamer and just about only HL2 supports...

NEC LCD20WGX2. Having had the NEC for while now, I actually think the backlight bleeding has all but completely disappeared. I'm still going to have NEC ship a replacement to me however and see if thats better. The 1:1 Pixel mapping is supported at resolutions of 1280x1024 and below. It...

LCD 1600x1200/1680x1050 Best Choice?

Got the NEC MultiSync LCD20WGX2! (BRIEF REVIEW) I received the NEC last Friday just after I received my 7900GTX step-up. I have every thing set-up now, and I must say I am not disappointed! I'm not completely blown away by the quality of this screen compared to my old 19" CRT; but it is a...

Once again I can't thank you enough xtknight, and also Psykosis. I think anymore deliberation and confirmation of the NEC's superiority would be futile, so I will definitely be ordering it on Monday. I must say though that although the NEC is better than the Viewsonic 2025wm; a difference of...

I think the Samsung 215TW 21" Wide would be an excellent choice for you, JohnOBuirrows. I personally was very tempted to get it myself, it is an excellent screen. I wouldn't place too much emphasis on the HDCP support unless you have or will get a HDCP supported Video Card. I think with...

LCD 1600x1200/1680x1050 Best Choice?

I bought my all my system components from scan.co.uk. I had to RMA a couple of peripherals and they were pretty good and efficient-did the whole City Link pick up and refund quickly. The only problem is scan don't have it in stock but overclockers do. I really want the new screen in time for...

Thank you all very much for your advice. I've now decided on the NEC (rather annoying in a way since after so much research, I've decided on what I was going to get anyway! still nice to be thorough). I'm based in the UK and was wondering if you guys know the best place to buy the NEC, for...

xtknight could you please reply to this post. Essentially I'm trying to decide between these: Widescreen NEC MultiSync® LCD20WGX2 6 ms (g2g) S-IPS (LG.Philips LM201W01) panel Samsung 215TW 21" Wide 8 ms (g2g) S-PVA (Samsung LTM210M2) panel Viewsonic VX2025wm 20.1" 8 ms (g2g) P-MVA (AUO...

I'm literally about to place to place the order for the NEC......Just any opinions on the Samsung 215TW?? It?s about the same price as the NEC but 21". I know I'll probably end up getting the NEC but I'm really anal about complete research prior to purchase (kind of an annoying disease!)...

I'm currently about to upgrade from a seriously old 19" CRT and reckon I should make the leap to LCD. After extensive research (and looking at this brilliant thread!) I've compiled this shortlist: Wide Screen 1680x1050 NEC MultiSync® LCD20WGX2 6 ms (g2g) S-IPS (LG.Philips LM201W01) panel...

Thanks for the replies. OK I'm pretty set on widescreen now, I was definitely leaning that way anyway. However choosing between the 3 is just as hard. The NEC LCD20WGX2 seems to be highly recommended and on paper at least has very good specs. Crucially it has been judged the fastest of...

I am essentially in exactly the same position as the original poster, even to the components he is using. However I require a PC immediately and have decided upon a different approach. My current system has an AGP ATI Radeon 9700-which has gone bust! If I was to buy today and not think about...
