    24" Widescreen CRT (FW900) From Ebay arrived,Comments.

    That sounds like the anti glare was definately removed. The benefit though is you don't need to turn the brightness up as high and should in turn make the electron guns last longer. They are beautiful when the antiglare is removed, but you definately need a dark room, otherwise there is alot...

    I also live in Wisconsin. Grew up in central and now live in western Wisconsin. I have a few friends that also use FW900s. They brought a truck load up from Chicago a few years back that were on pallets to be recycled. They picked through the good ones and had the suspension on thier chevy...

    24" Widescreen CRT (FW900) From Ebay arrived,Comments.

    All are running 1680x1050 (LCDs at 60hz and the FW900 at 100hz. Physical width is actually identical between the FW900 and the 22" LCDs. It's an optical illusion that LCDs are wider in the picture, caused by the camera lens.

    3x 120Hz Eyefinity Portrait Setup

    I love the setup. Wish i could afford to do a pair of 6990's instead of 6970's. Great job on the slim bezels! I think your post has inspired me to mod the bezels on my eyefinity setup. My LCDs are out of warranty and I do have a spare bezel for my FW900 that I can hack. I've gotten used...

    I also just bought another FW900 from a friend for $85 as a spare. The front bezel is a little beat up, but the screen is excellent. I don't know what I would do if mine went bad so its a great feeling having a spare. No LCD even comes close to the picture quality of that monitor. I also have...

    Yes. 60hz on on the LCDs look fine and the FW900 will run at 100hz at 1080p. I would think though that using 23" 16:9 aspect LCDs on the side would be a little too large though. Being that the FW900 is closer to 16:10 aspect, your diagonal size is 22.5". Running a 16:9 aspect on it will put...

    I use a pair of V7 D22W12-N6. The bezels aren't real thick, and they dont have any usb ports. They do have speakers on the back, but they don't add any thickness to the sides. I don't use the speakers cause they sound horrible. lol I also noticed I had my ambx turned off. It crashes BF3...

    I used Powerstrip to edit the EDID of the FW900. The value to edit is the Physical Size value (i think thats what it was labeled). One of the forums on here had the instructions for using powerstrip to flash a custom EDID to the monitor. I was going to edit the EDID on the LCDs, but they were...

    Color matching wasn't too hard. Used some RGB test images. Black levels obviously aren't as good on the LCDs compared to the FW900, but colors match well. The native res on the LCD panels are 1680x1050 and are a very close match to the FW900 aspect. (the FW900 is inbetween a 16:10 and 16:9...
