have a bead one on buying one of these, anything I should know before buying it? And whats the easiest device I could get to test it before taking it home? (Craigslist.) I think the only computer I have with analog video out is my big desktop.
if you are talking about the fw900 also be aware of the warmup time it requires for proper color , black level, etc representation, which in mine is about 10 minutes to get decent color and black levels and about 30 min to get those correclty as i had set up via OSD menu.
when i bought it and checked for the first time on the seller's house, image was horrible due to the monitor being just turned on, so it was not warmed up yet, i checked for brightness and contrast settings, lowered them to the lowest and still the image was horrible, the seller did not tell me about the required warm up time and i did not know about it,(maybe he didnt to avoid the risk of me not buying the monitor after all) but i was confident after discovering a lot of settings in the OSD menu and all oll the positive coments about the monitor that with some patience i could setup it propertly.
in fact this nomnitor requieres patience to get it a right setup to suit your tastes, patience while it warms up, and also experienced people with this monitor highly recomend calibating it with colorimeters and some special software to get the most of it, in this site you can find guides about that.
