Actually that's where I learned about the 2005FPW in the first place, billbillw. It comes out very well in that review and supposedly achieves a 16ms response time (though it's advertised as 12ms), the same as the VP191b's typical real-world response time, though I haven't seen an detailed...
As long as we're talking about Dell what do you think about their 2005FPW versus the VP191b? It's cheaper (on special through tomorrow morning), supposedly 8 bits, and gets good reviews.
I called Dell today, not about the 1905FP questions, but to ask whether their VP191b monitors were the new 8ms ones. I was told that the panels would most likely be the newest ones because they get shipped from Viewsonic (or a Viewsonic distributor), not from Dell, when an order is placed. There...
In a followup to an earlier question about whether this is really an 8-bit panel I found this earlier thread in which an AnandTech member reports confirming this with Viewsonic.
Personally I still haven't seen this monitor or found the 8ms panel at a dealer who'll take a return/exchange with...
Has anyone here recently ordered the VP191B from Dell, and did it come in the box with the 8ms sticker? I have to agree with dfloyd: changing the specs of this LCD without changing its model number makes for some uncertain shopping.
Kipa recommended the Viewsonic VP191b (or VP191s) in his thread and it sounds great but it doesn't seem to be sold at retail anywhere. a) I'd like to see one of these before I lay out $500 for one, and b) I'd like to buy it from a place where I can return or exchange it if it turns out to have...
For my part I currently have no monitor (I'm online intermittently via my work notebook) so I'm hoping to find the right monitor in a decent store ASAP!
I love Newegg in general and bought most of my current equipment from them but I'm wary of mail-ordering LCDs. Doesn't Newgg have an 8-pixel minimum for returns due to pixel defects? And what about restocking fees?
A quick update on availability: CompUSA has a better return policy than I thought (21 days, no restocking fee, at least according to the salesman I spoke with) but they do not carry the VP191b in their stores, only online. Has anyone seen one of these at retail? I want to look before I buy.
That's weird, because Viewsonic's own product page for the VP191b indicates that it's an 8ms panel. Dell may be selling older versions of this monitor (see Kipa's first link), so I wouldn't be comfortable buying from them. Any others? Any corroboration of the specs?
xtknight, Kipa's first link contrasts this panel with those utilizing TN technology with only 16.2 million dithered colors, but it would be nice to see it explicitly stated that this monitor utilizes 8 bits per channel for the full gamut 16.7 million 24-bit colors. The Viewsonic product page and...
It sounds great but the only retailer seems to be CompUSA and they told me they have a 15% restocking fee for all returns (and therefore for dead pixels). Has anyone had luck with returns there, or does anyone know of a better source for this monitor in the US?
The story so far: My beloved 8 year old Iiyama 17" CRT died and I decided it was time to go to a 19" LCD. On the [mistaken] belief that it was a full 24 bit display I picked up a Sony SDMHS95P and tried it for a while. There was one dead subpixel, which to my surprise really didn't bother me...
Not exactly. It happily loaded the drivers from the USB floppy drive when I pressed F6 and then S. Several steps later, however, after selecting an installation volume, it went looking for additional files on the floppy and at that time it ignored the USB floppy. This may very well have to do...
It worked! :)
After installing XP, as recommended by Intel, I installed first the chipset drivers, then DirectX 9, then IAA 4.1. When I run IAA 4.1 and select my system drive it clearly indicates that native command queuing is enabled. Hurray!
Remarkably it's working! Instead of prompting me to insert a disk in drive A: it just scanned the one I have and then gave the usual "Please wait while Setup copies files to the Windows installation folders. This might take several minutes to complete." A friend suggested to me that while the...
It actually can be set to be the first boot device with this BIOS, but as you say it doesn't help in this case. I am currently trying with an internal FDD and will report on that shortly.
It wasn't a cross post - I just responded quickly :D. I'd be happy to put the IAA onto it's own floppy if I knew how to do so! All three of these disks seem to have pretty much the same stuff. The disk I created using the IAA download from Intel seems to be the same as the others. It has the...
F3 cancels the entire Windows installation. I don't have a way of installing the AHCI Controller driver but NOT installing the IAA driver, and according to the AT article I linked if I fail to install these during installation then AHCI and NCQ won't work. If no one has any better ideas I'm...
More or less (through step 7, anyway).
3. I hit F6 at the appropriate time.
4. Also 'S'.
5. I insert the disk (I've tried three different ones, specified above).
6. Check.
7. I choose the SATA AHCI Controller driver (can't confirm the "82801FR" right now as I'm at work) and the...
According to this AT article (on this page) AHCI and NCQ will not work on the system drive unless you set them up during installation (also: the only way I can think of to avoid the prompt for the IAA drivers is to not hit F6 to load the drivers for AHCI.)
I've tried that. That's the third of the three floppy disks I mentioned above. It works for the F6 step, when I hit S and add supplemental drivers for AHCI/RAID, but it is not accepted when the installer asks for the Intel Application Accelerator driver a little later.

I am building a new system in the Shuttle XPC SB81P case, which features the Intel 915 and ICH6R chipsets. My hard drive is a Maxtor Maxline III drive which supports native command queueing. I'd very much like to take advantage of NCQ, which is one of the reasons I chose this drive, but I'm...
:confused:Ok -- I went to the 41st St. Office Depot. They told me the CDRs were behind the counter (which they were -- store brand spindles of 50), but they did not ring up with the discount. They rang up for the posted shelf price of $29.99. The clerk was very friendly and tried scanning...
I think he does mean Office Depot -- they have a store on 41st St. in NYC, which is where he said he bought the CDRs. Office Max does not have a store there.
edit: Whoops - redundant post. Great minds ...
