Maybe you're misunderstanding me. The gradients look fine in DV standard, but are horrible in the "special" DV modes. I can also see the difference between the upper levels (250-255) fine in DV standard. The trouble occurs when I try to fiddle with gamma to see RGB 5,5,5 since this will mess up...

No, I mean 250 and 255, since raising the brightness will simply bump up all levels by x steps, meaning 250 in effect becomes the same as 255. This is from looking at a gray level test chart, not the website linked earlier. Yeah, it's on the DVI digital port. The LCD2070NX has much better...

I've tried it, and nothing below 9 will show up at that point. In fact I photographed the screen att brightness/contrast 100/100 and RGB 6/6/6 won't even show up at severe overexposure on the camera's part (Nikon D50). It's like it doesn't exist. I tried using the ATI Catalyst colour settings...

What mode and settings and so on? Edit: DV modes don't count, you have to be able to see it in "standard mode", since the DV gaming mode simply adjusts contrast as the picture changes, which is really, really bad. It also makes gradients look like big blocks of chocolate. :(

Argh, here I am with a NEC 20WGX2, and while the image is colorful and pretty, the black levels are absolutely TERRIBLE. I've been trying all the DV modes, all possible brighness/contrast combinations, and fiddling with QuickGamma to try to bring them up. Unfortunately, no matter how hard I try...

I "reviewed" the 2070NX back on page 66 of this thread. In short, it has input lag (mouse pointer moves with slight delay as you move your mouse around) and shows tearing when using the zoom function (ie, when you're not using native 1:1 pixel mapping) in fast games, so I wouldn't recommend you...

I always run games with VSYNC on, because I hate tearing more than anything in the known universe. I tried Counter-Strike first, but had VSYNC set to 85Hz (old CRT settings), which messed that up pretty badly. Set it to 60Hz to playtest the LCD, and the tearing mentioned was seen. Like I said...

I've been looking for a new screen to replace my 21" CRT that's gone bad (odd colour spots that don't go away with degaussing), and I needed one that is good for photo-editing / browsing / gaming, in that order. After days of review reading and forum browsing, the purchase has been made, and I'm...
