Anyone using a dual monitor setup with these? If so, what video card are you using? Which one would you recommend? Would it be possible to get 1920 x 1200 on each of a two-monitor setup, you think?

I'll try it when mine comes in. I have a Dell 2405 FPW running off an HD 2600 Pro. I could also try an X1600 Pro, a 9600 Pro and a 9600 if you like.

I'm running 2 of these off of my 7900GS @ 1920 x 1200 and have no problems, even when playing games on one. I'll likely be swapping it out with an 8800GT soon though.

My HD 2600 Pro runs both my 24" LCDs (including the Soyo) at 1920x1200.

I will try other cards soon, hopefully this weekend.

Moffat Cafe, try this before you return your monitor to avoid hassle:
third post from the bottom in this thread
strange it is, but seems to be a fairly common issue with LCD monitors.

so whats with the new 6ms.. i was almost sold on one with 2 year warranty and 30$ off coupon but now its 6ms? ugg ill wait more i guess and grab another 22"

 

[Moffat Cafe]

konakona, thanks for your suggestion as to my Soyo's digital failure, but in my situation the digital was dead. It would not work on two other computers. The good part was that my local Omax also confirmed that the Soyo was defective and even though it was 31 days since my purchase, they replaced it.

In my opinion the Soya 24 is one of the best available.

 

[killster1]

so this 6ms version is nothing to worry about? just waiting on someone to say that before i make lcd purchase ;/

Just got mine in today and I'm PISSED at UPS!!! I sign it and didn't notice the small hole in the box which is a hole literally punched all the through the box, monitor and out the other side. My monitor got impaled by something and I'm not a happy camper

How did I get mine way faster than yours?

 

[killster1]

hah ups is prob pissed at you.. i like how no one answered if these still have the good panels in them or if something was drasticly changed with the 6ms version.. altho i guess that kinda thing only matters for view angles as im not to picky

Well, last night, in the pouring rain, and through houston traffic, I had dragged that broken monitor all the way to the other side of houston ( an hour and a half drive) to the only officemax with these in stock to exchange it out. Grrr!!! Didn't want to wait 5 days for pickup and another long wait period to get another one once the "warehouse" came back in stock.

Well anyhow, I'm using the new one I picked up, looks gorgeous though. I have one stuck pixel though that is green when the screen is black in the upper left corner of the screen. It's about the 5th pixel in and down so hardly noticeable at all. I was previously using a 8 or 9 year old 19" LCD and this thing is like WOW!!! All in all, good item for the price but man I hate UPS.

anyone watch tv on this thing?

 

[postmortemIA]

So it is $299.99 in my store, but frame looks hideous

I have a MyHD MDP-130 that I got an OTA HD station and a digital station. Those looked fine but the SD stations are not that great.
As soon a I get a decent antenna I don't think it will be a bad alternative to our LCD when I get kicked off by the wife or kids.

Picked one up yesterday - its $299 minus 20% from a friends and family coupon posted in the other soyo 20 inch monitor thread. $260 out the door. Its pretty sweet - only one stuck pixel.

I've got one on my HTPC right now. Running Vista MCE, an 8400GS, ATI Theater 550 tuner and analog cable. Looks pretty good considering the source material.

$262 OTD here as well. Curious, would you guys have preferred buying two 20in Soyo's for $293 OTD or a single 24in?

I'd prefer one single one. Also, I don't like the tiny pixel size of 20" LCDs.
