Well, hurray for UPS (I can't belive I'm saying that). They actually got my monitor here a day early. It said "schedualed delivery" July 20th, got it the 19th.
Anyway my first impression is that it's very wide. Comparing it to my VP930b, it's a little shorter but a lot wider. Playing a quick game of CS:S I discovered that I like WS gaming Also the dot pitch is a lot smaller (.255 vs. .29) so everything is a little smaller.
I have no doubt that my 7900GT's in SLI (700/1620) should be able to truely shine at this higher resolution. I wonder what game I should start up next.
How about some pics (click the pic for full size):
Box it came in (and an ugly carpet)
Side by Side shot with my VP930b (the VX2025 is actually a little shorter than the shot makes it out to be)
The Flamebait forum
So far it seems to have (or might have) less ghosting than my VP930b. The black levels don't seem as dark as those on my VP930b (the best 19in LCD around) but they are REALLY close. Almost too hard to tell the differnence but also it could by my monitor isn't configured corectly.
Another happy VX2025 owner.
I'll be gald to answer any questions about the monitor. I really don't think I need to go into that much detail since there are already 1000 different reviews about this monitor already (1001 counting me )
However, I have one question. What settings did you use (contrast, brightness, color, etc.). I can't seem to get it just right and I'm wondering what other people have used.
Also I'll pose some more pics if you like.
Edit/Update:
Xtknight wanted banding photo's so here ya go:
Alright, hope the pictures arn't too blurry. I'll take them again tommorow (since it's 1:30 in the morn).
Anyway, here they are.
VP930b Gradient ("show pic to friends" so that it's not as big)
VX2025wm Gradient ("show pic to friends" so that it's not as big)
The pictures are 2592x1944 with my Digital Camera. I then opened them up in Photoshop and use almost max quality jpeg compression (to get it below 1.5mb) so the compression shouldn't create any issues with the pictures.
