How do you turn off Splendid in Vista 64? I've been looking around and there's supposed to be an ASUS tab in the advanced display settings, but there isn't! I'm not sure how to disable it :/

one of the pixels on my L227wtg seems to have gotten stuck on green on the far right side of the screen. is there a way to reset it or something? that sucks so bad, this monitor has been almost perfect until now. :|

I finally bought the HP 2475W a few days ago, and after a few days of use, I'm already thinking about replacing it.
As for whether it supports 75Hz @ 1920x1200, I had to find the answer myself, as HP didn't care to reply. Now I can see why: it doesn't support 75Hz at all, not even in lower resolutions. Not on any inputs (DP,HDMI,DVI,DSUB). To be more accurate, it accepts it, then drops every 5th frame... So I had to stick with 60Hz, but I just couldn't get used to it. (Neither could I to the variable input lag.)
Anyway, how can you watch movies @60Hz? Seeing one frame for 2*1/60 ms and the other for 3*1/60 ms + the variable input lag just plain hurts my eyes.
So I wonder if there is a monitor in existence that natively supports 75Hz at 1920x1200... :S

Hello!
First of all big respect to creator of this topic. You are doing outstanding job. Since I am not that much into lcd technologies I have few questions for experts on this site (xtknight) in particular
I am proudly owner of 17" LG CRT monitor, however the time has come to (possibly) change to lcd monitor. Mostly because of health resons. The choices on the market are large and confusing.
Reading through this topic revealed mostly information about larger monitors, but what is with 17 and 19"? Are there any good choices for gamers? I had opportunity to see Dell 19 lcd" (5:4) but it is too large (would prefer WS) 17" and 19" are only limited to TN technology right? One of the reason why I am skeptic about buying larger monitor (20"+) is that most likely I would need killer pc to run games on such a large resolutions. (1280x1024 would be perfect )
Most of the time in front of computer I spend on gaming (70%) / browsing the Internet. If you could please give me few quality choices for 17" or 19ws". How do you see future development of 17 and 19" monitors? What would you recommend, maybe it would be better to buy 20"?
Any advices are more than welcome. Greetings from Croatia.

The VW224U is truly amazing. I've played Counter-Strike Source a little bit, as well as FSX, and evreything is so vivid. Even if I zoom out in the cockpit (when playing FSX) and all the letters, etc on the panel become tiny, I can still read them. Very crisp! On CS:S everything is clear and vivid as well; I don't see any ghosting or artifacts, either. I'm coming from a 5-6 year-old IBM 17", lol, so everything is dramatically better. But yes, for $200 ($180 after MIR), I don't see how this couldn't be recommended. Once I get ASCR working I'll report back to see if there is much of a difference with an extra 3000:1 contrast ratio. But yes, please do recommend this model.
The only thing I'm not all that impressed with is the glossy bevel. I would have rather had the VW222U's exterior, as I'm just not a big fan of the glossy; it attracts a lot of finger prints. It so beautiful, though

Is this even remotely possible? Currently I have an 8800GT and I am running a Dell 2408WFP and HDMI to my TV. I am wanting to get 2 19" monitors and turn them vertically and put one on each side of the 2408 and then hook them both up to my PC. I don't do any gaming, I do lots of video editing though. I am running OS X also so the best card I can really use is a 9800GTX+. Is there anyway to hook up 4 devices to 1 card? Maybe with 2 of these: http://www.monoprice.com/produ...id=2518&seq=1&format=2
Also is 19" the best choice? I am wanting them to be about the same height as the dell. Also are there any 19" monitors that offer the ability to turn onto their side? Or would I need to buy a replacement stand?

In the OP I see that you reccomend Pantone's / X-rite's i1 Display 2 for calibrating monitors. What about the less expensive i1 Display LT? Looks like it uses the same hardware (same sensor), but different software. This one I might not mind getting...but at $200+, the D2 would cost nearly as much as the monitor I just bought (HP w2007, if you're curious.)

Hi,
I am buying a new 24'' display in the sub-$300 range. So far I've narrowed down to
BenQ E2400HD
Samsung 2443BW-HAS
BenQ G2400WD
Samsung SyncMaster T240
Any other 24'' that people would recommend?
I actually would really prefer glossy but I can't find any of the glossy monitors listed in appendix e nor a reference to find any current ones. Help please.
I really hear good things about the syncmaster for everything but gaming. Is the response time really high enough to make a difference? I just looked at the price for it at a couple of other sites and the price seems to be much higher than the site I'm looking on, which has it sub-300.

I don't receive review samples, and sorry but I don't have this LCD in my possession and probably never will. Otherwise I'd love to..

Acer G24 is the best option today for a 24" glossy panel. It's going to be recommended on my new list. I don't think the NEC 24WMGX3 is glossy.

The BenQ is just as good...and fast for gaming.

I went with the hp w2408h before you posted this. Girlfriend was in a rush to buy it for me for xmas / bday. Did I make a bad call? Saw a lot of good reviews on it that didn't really have many cons other than the lack of dvi port. Also I think the orange on the acer might drive me crazy.

Splitters are for duplicating the image. They definitely won't work for this.
There's no way to hook up 4 monitors to one card as far as I know. Matrox has some TripleHead2Go device for 3 monitors... http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/th2go/
Not sure how it works with 3D or different resolutions. I think Widescreen Gaming Forum reviewed it so check that out.
Yeah, 19" standard goes pretty well with 24" widescreen. I've heard of people doing that before.
The 19" HP LP1965 allows portrait mode natively.
Here is some measurements of screen active area, height if you are curious:
Height:
301.1mm (19" standard)
324.0mm (24" widescreen)
306.0mm (20.1" standard)
324.0mm (21.3" standard)
