You'll need a HDMI to DVI adapter for it if you are a gamer, the primary video card port on the monitor is VGA, not DVI but it should still work well with an adapter.

Is this monitor capable of being used as a regular television, and 1080i signal through the composite? or does it scale funny when watching non-HD tv? If it works well as a monitor and supplies 1080i television and regular TV well, i may bite, ty.

 

[ghost recon88]

Yes it is capable due to the HDMI, composite, and component inputs. As far as watching HDTV, you would need an external tuner. But if you have a 360 or older system that uses compos4te or component, it will show 1080p just fine. And DVI to HDMI adapters can be had for under $10 shipped if you shop around.

The screen is glossy? Is it TN?

I _love_ mine -- arrived about three days ago. Only complaint I have is a slightly flimsy stand and the fact that I had to buy a DVI-HDMI cable. A wall mount will soon fix the former, and I can deal with the latter ($11 extra at newegg).

The screen is stunning.

I ordered mine @ 12PM EST today, and its scheduled to get here on Wednesday. And thats with it shipping from NJ to MI. Talk about speedy service, I can't wait for it to get here. Half Life 2 Episode Two is calling for it

I've been really wanting to get this for a while now- it's such a good deal. I went and checked it out at BB and it looked pretty good compared to the samsung and other generic 24" monitor they had. It was quite obvious the samsung was a TN panel when I looked at them all from the side, and the Westinghouse still looked pretty good.

Unfortunately I'll need to upgrade my GPU to accomodate the higher resolution

Finally got to play around at BB.
Ordered 1 this morning, and already shipped.

But didn't see the $10 off coupon until now. Damn it!



I bought it to use for ps3 HDMI.
Vga will do just fine for me.


Can't beat the value, very cheap for 24" HDMI monitor.
Most of them are $650 +

I think just the bezel is glossy, not the screen.

Yeah, the bezel is glossy and it is not a TN panel!

 

[XNice]

Hmmm should I get this or the Dell 2407WP-HC that's goin around for about $570? Hmm is the price hike worth it? Hmm.....

 

[lchyi]

Mmmm. I bit on this. I saw it at BB today and it looked great.

 

[uwannawhat]

Sweet I'm in~!

Thanks ghost recon88 for the dealio~!

This will be perfect for my application & you simply cannot beat the price @ current markets on these.

Also picked up the HDMI/DVI converter cable (made sure I got the one that also carries the audio).

AWESOME!

 

[ghost recon88]

Mine just arrived today, and holy cow! I have it hooked it hooked up to my laptop, and my laptops res is 1920x1200 as well. So I popped in a DVD, and had it playing on the 24" LCD via an DVI-to-HDMI adapter, and my dvd software and video card upscaled the DVD so perfectly, its looks amazing! I love it!

Which DVI to HDMI adapter did you guys buy and where from?

 

[ghost recon88]

I got this one, just because it was a 6 footer. http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16812189128

However heres a 15 foot one for $5 more. http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16812186026

Just pick your length and you are good to go!

 

[lchyi]

I got my HDMI cable from monoprice.com also. Turned out to be like $11 shipped.

You can't beat this deal if the monitor is as good as it looks in the store. I mean, VGA out will be to this monitor, DVI out will be to my secondary monitor, component for XBOX, and HDMI for TV, I'm never going to leave my desk...

Now it's just time to buy a more comfy office chair .

Speaking of which, this monitor is a 16:10, how does it handle HDTV?

Whats the difference between all the different "xxAWG" measurements on those cables? I see 22, 24, 26, and 28.

Do the standard DVI to HDMI adapters carry audio?

I think Radeons HD do, not sure about NVIDIA cards.

We had to move a couple of older monitors to make room for this one & upgraded our PVR in the bedroom.

Also had a PVR in the basement that we swapped out with our older monitor.

If you can find a reason & actually believe your need a new monitor you will love this one!

It's always the same, I'll buy something only to have to reason with myself why I actually needed it.

In this case we're VERY happy we pulled the trigger.
