    VGA connection + large LCD = flickering?

    Update: Finally got around to taking the original monitor back to Fry's and got another one, same model. Same result, flickering on solid black/very dark colors. Either my local Fry's (Austin, TX) got a bad batch of these, or its a problem with the monitor and not one of the 200+ reviewers on...

    VGA connection + large LCD = flickering?

    also, I tried the clock/phasing test at http://www.techmind.org/lcd/ and at first it "crawled" vertically so I thought maybe the phasing was off. But I adjusted the monitor so that it stopped doing that but still get the same effect on black/dark backgrounds. :(

    VGA connection + large LCD = flickering?

    justinluck, the problem the are describing there seems similar to mine, but there are some distinct differences. First, mine doesnt start as the LCD warms up. In fact, I can see it happening when I first turn on the computer and its at the POST screen. Also, they all seem to feel like it goes...

    VGA connection + large LCD = flickering?

    dug777, I just updated the drivers using www.laptopvideo2go.com (nvidia doesn't have drivers for the Go 6600 on their site). Doesn't seem to help any. justinluck, I think I may try taking this thing back and getting a different one. I'm having a hell of a time finding anyone else with a...

    VGA connection + large LCD = flickering?

    I've now noticed that it actually happens with any dark, solid color. I only notice it when I'm, say, moving the mouse -- only when there's motion somewhere on the screen. So basically I'm stuck with this because its a 6bit panel? I've used plenty of LCDs before and never noticed it (maybe...

    VGA connection + large LCD = flickering?

    I have a 15.4" 1680x1050 laptop, so I went out and bought a ViewSonic VG2230wm (same resolution) to use at home. The screen looks great (and huge!) and I am pleased, EXCEPT I have one wallpaper that has a sort of grey-to-charcoal gradient and I can definitely see the monitor...

    LCD Buyer's Guide

    hey guys I'm looking for a new 1680x1050 monitor but don't know anything about them and am having a hard time digesting all this information. I don't play many fast games (only stuff like SimCity 4 and Civ4). The main uses will be web browsing, papers, etc - maybe the occasional DVD. I want a...

I will have good work experience upon graduation, including...

    dell voided my warranty for...what?

    Leafblighter, that Dell is actually 15" - they just started offering them with dedicated graphics less than a week ago. Thanks for your reply, though - very helpful. If you don't mind, I have a few other questions. How heavy is the Asus? Does it start to be a pain to carry around? How do you...

    Help me choose between 2 notebooks *poll*

    Dell does offer the option to upgrade to WSXGA, but it's $100 extra. I'd have to drop down to the lesser battery to fit that into my budget, which would erase (probably even reverse) the Dell's battery life advantage. leaning towards the Asus at this point. 2yrs warranty for the Dell is nice...

    Buying Two Laptops

    $2000 can get you a whole lot of laptop these days. This Acer gives you a lot of bang for your buck. Dell isn't offering any discrete graphics (which you'll want for Civ IV) in a 15.4" screen right now, only on their 17" models. That may change in a month or two. From what it sounds like, Dual...

    Two notebooks that I already own

    you've got it backwards, I think. Sony has faster processor and slower graphics card, Acer has slower processor and faster graphics card. Probably the Acer would be my guess. Why don't you just play some games on both and see which performs better?

    100% Tax On Games?

    The Texas constitution was written in response to central governments that were way too strong (Mexican and Reconstruction). Therefore, the Texas government is weak and flabby. You're right - the Lt. Governor is probably more powerful than the Governor. Kinky would be OK. Actually, anyone but...

    100% Tax On Games?

    doesn't matter, Perry is going to run away with the election anyway. besides, governor in Texas is a pretty weak position. He'd have a REALLY hard time getting something like this passed.

    Is this BS? China to build first FUSION reactor soon. Claims the tech is ready.

    There are dozens of fusion reactors in the world. Off the top of my head, there's ones at Princeton, MIT, UCLA, Columbia, and General Atomics in San Diego, and that's just in the US. So far none have reached break-even (energy out >= energy in), but they've come pretty close. ITER is the best...
