i just picked one up from costco.
I'm definitally unimpressed with this thing. I guess you get what you pay for. As the previous poster mentioned, when you have a black screen, there are diagnal lines of white light radiating inward from the corners making an "X" shape..
I'm going to add this is my first LCD ever. I'm coming from a 19" CRT running 1600x1200@70Hz.
The color/picture quality is pretty amazing on this LCD. It's easy on the eyes. The picture is just so beautiful. but it gets worse.
The mouse curser seems jerky ... it's not "smooth", this bothers me a lot because I jumped through hoops to get a VERY accurate mouse (razer diamondback with hacked USB drivers for an increased polling rate of 1Mhz.)
Moving further, scrolling down websites seems jerky also. It's not a smooth scroll like you would see on a CRT, but it kinda jumps down. This is the LCD doing this, not the computer.
More testing. The only game I really play is Counter Strike Source. It has native support for 16:9/16:10 aspect ratio's. I loaded up my favorite game, at the native resolution 1680x1050. Very beautiful crystal clear picture. I don't notice ghosting/blur too much, but what I DO notice is the jerking. I can compare it to playing on a laggy server where you move your mouse around and it kinda jumps around, and isn't smooth.
Sadly, I'll be taking this back to costco tomorrow
Anyone got a link to the coupons to get that DELL so cheap?
