    [Retired] The LCD Thread

    Good to hear. How has the experience with their service department been so far? Any hassles? Are you paying the return shipping for the defective monitor? The G2400WD is still high on a lot of lists, and they sure have a great price on it. Thanks, matt

    Nice price, but the "All Sales Are Final" sure is spooky. Sounds like you're gambling $300 on getting something that turns on, much less something without dead pixels. That's a lot to gamble. Edit: It's not that dire; from their warranty page: Buyer pays shipping to Benq. So it's a...

    It appears that it's just this monitor. On other monitors they offer their "Express Coverage", which looks like an add-on option. But apparently it's not an option for the G2400WD anymore. Odd. Their prices for that (and the Samsung T240 & T240HD) are great though... $250 for the T240, $280...

    Check the thread on this monitor on HardForum for confirmation -- they're the same monitor, same panel, but HP tends to use two different model numbers for their consumer sales and business sales; something about one being applicable to volume and company discounts, and the other not. They do...

    I had a Hitachi Superscan for a long time. Good monitor. Turning your head vs. turning your body doesn't matter. As long as your position relative to the monitor does not change, the viewing angles stay the same. If, however, you'll sometimes be very close to the desk, and sometimes be...

    The first post in this thread has a lot of background information about LCDs; the second post has a list of recommended monitors, grouped by use. One of those is gaming. xtknight updates it occasionally.

    Nope. The Planar PX2611W and DoubleSight DS-265W are both well-respected IPS monitors.

    That's normal for 22". 1680x1050 in 22" is 0.282mm per pixel, which is roughly the same as 1920x1200 in 26". 1920x1200 in 22" would be quite small. Basically. If the monitor doesn't have speakers, then whether the cable carries audio won't matter to you. Whether you'd prefer HDMI or DVI...

    Yeah, I know that the G2400WD is highly recommended here and elsewhere, but I don't know exactly what sets it apart from other 24" TN panels -- is it just that it has been professionally reviewed, and most haven't, or is its panel really superior to others? I guess the TN monitors don't get...

    I haven't heard it. I'm not the expert on this thread, but I didn't mean to imply that 0.28mm would look blurry. I'm guessing (and someone here can correct me if I'm wrong, I'm sure) that next to a 24", the smaller would look sharper. But I doubt you could tell without seeing the two next to...

    Ha. Well, to be fair, the HP is roughly the same speed (5ms or 6ms GTG depending on who you listen to), and has fairly low input lag according initial tests. But the Planar does have a great warranty and dead pixel policy, which is certainly worth money. Up to you whether it's worth the $150...

    Ah, good point. I didn't realize the Planar was high-gamut. The Planar doesn't seem to have much going for it.

    [Retired] The LCD Thread

    So, judging by the not-too-positive early reports of the DoubleSight 265W, the most compelling 24"-to-26" options that are widely available seem to be the HP LP2475W and the Planar PX2611W, right? I think I'm mentally discounting the NECs because they're in 30" cost territory. Those in Europe...

    I think "not really useful" is too strong. I know the colors will be oversaturated on non-color-managed apps, but do you think that really makes the monitor useless? (I've never had a WG monitor myself, but I'm starting to read reviews about the HP LP2475W)

    Thanks for the updates, alanj. That looks like an interesting monitor -- certainly the cheapest 30". For the price, though, I'm sorry that it's not perfect.

    So, i browse the Recommendations list every few months to see what's new, and it looks like I may need it now. My Soyo 24" just decided to give everything a glaring pink hue, and all the red pixels are glittering/sparkling, which makes it really pleasant to try to read text. I had gotten a...

    24" LCD w/ DVI @ Costco - sub $400

    Yeah, if there's any doubt, I would pass. TN panels have poor color uniformity that shows up more strikingly on large panels. But then, I haven't seen it in person. Perhaps the Soyo deal was a fluke, but there are a few good panels hovering around the $500 mark (LG at BestBuy, Dell on a good...

    24" LCD w/ DVI @ Costco - sub $400

    Good catch -- I just saw noticed that Newegg is now carrying DCLCD monitors, so it's good to know that it's Sceptre. In case folks hadn't established it yet -- yes, there are 24" TN panels, according to The LCD Thread (seriously, everyone in the market for an LCD should read this thread)...

    It's back - MS XBOX HD-DVD w/ 2 HD-DVDs $199.99

    Going between 1080i and 1080p isn't scaling or upconverting. No pixels are getting resized or stretched -- both have exactly 1080 lines of information, exact same pixel sizes, and the exact same amount of detail. Going from 1080i -> 1080p is deinterlacing -- basically, taking two frames of...

    So have you CRT lovers finally bitten the bullet and gone LCD?

    I have 2 21" CRTs still. Like a lot of people, I don't keep them because of color reproduction or great black levels (although they're nice), but just because there's no reason to replace them yet. Well, until recently-- the Diamondtron is now on max brightness and the colors are off, so it's...

    SuperTalent (STT) 2 x 1GB DDR2-667 PC5400 $82.54 + Shipping

    On the other hand, I just tried them in an Abit N7-M2 nView and couldn't get them up to 800 (all other settings stock) without pushing them up to 2.1v. I may be able to relax timings a bit and drop the voltage, but YMMV.

    Roomba robot Vacuum $161.27 shipped

    Yep, it does. Fun to watch. It's not very efficient about finding its base, and our living room confuses it (there's a couch out toward the middle of the room, and the Roomba has a hard time figuring it out) but it handles it. Pretty well. It needs to be emptied every time it runs...

    Roomba robot Vacuum $161.27 shipped

    If you watch Woot for a while, they've had a lot of Roomba Sages and Discoveries up there in the past few months. I think they've been in the $150-ish range, but I'm not sure if they came with the accessories (but perhaps not that particular battery). But you have to wait until Woot is...

    Thermaltake Big Typhoon @ Newegg....open box....for $23.99 + $5.64 shipping

    Newegg's standard disclaimer is "you may get no accessories with a open box item" -- think there's a chance that you won't get all of the mounting brackets? With motherboards, I've gotten some with and some without the accessories, but obviously those accessories aren't critical for the...

    Uxcell's Ipod 2nd gen Nano clone 2gb $52.99 $5 bucks shipping

    This is a few days old, but I'll reply to it just in case. When zeroidea said "people who don't know any better can transcode mp3s to mp4, saving space and degrading quality in the process" he meant just that -- going from an mp3 file to an mp4 (AAC format) file degrades quality. Don't do it...

    Samsung 500GB SATA II $139 shipped (OEM 16MB Cache 7200RPM) @ newegg

    The maxtor is, by all accounts, a very loud drive as hard drives go. It's a decent performer, but the Samsung is known for being a very quiet drive. There's a review up at SilentPCReview.com on the Samsung; the Maxtor is reviewed at StorageReview.com . The WD 500YS in another thread is also...

    Sennheiser HD580 HOT

    I'd be surprised if the headphone amplification in an X-Fi is better than a Cmoy. I know nothing about the X-Fi, but the Cmoy was designed as a dedicated circuit that can give pretty significant amounts of clean gain to an input signal; usually the outputs of computer soundcards are a.)...

    *DEAD* BLAZING HOT!!!! 500GB My Book WD $139.99 Shipped

    Stores get around that now by putting the "while supplies last" disclaimer in the ad and then having 3 in stock. Still, it doesn't seem like the most ethical thing to do. Even if they oversold their inventory on hand, offering to backorder it would be more honest. If everyone doesn't get...
