Actually, I've been reading it! Thank you for all your reponse. I will have to go with the ProMedia 2.1 since I don't the time nor the energy to start reading on a nice 2.1 setup with REAL speakers and an amp. I plan on investing most of my time and energy on researching for the best home...

Hi everyone, I'd like to know what are the best 2.1 PC speaker set currently available? Please don't tell me that I would be better off with non-PC speakers, I know that. I don't want to spend a fortune on this so I need PC speakers. I currently own Logitech's Z-5500 and used to own the...

Thank you... I use my computer monitor to watch DVDs. What are the best softwares for DVD playback and tuning? I use PowerDVD, which doesn't seem to have tons of options. I'm also gonna look through my videocard control panel to see what I could do to improve image quality. Thank you,

Here's my PC setup: C2D E6850, GeForce 8800GTS 640MB, and a BenQ FP241W monitor. I have never been "impressed" by the quality of DVDs on my computer (especially black levels), so I thought that a standalone DVD player like the Oppo DV-981HD (which has excellent review for upconverting) would...

Thank you very much shadowlord. That's exactly what I wanted to hear. I will hook-up to the stereo output of the mixer. I will be there during sound check... so I will try to get the soundguy to help me out to get the best recording possible. Thank you.

I need expert advice here. A friend of mine is in a band and they're playing a rock a concert over the Holidays. My friend asked me if I could record the show using my computer. I have the X-Fi Platinum (with front bay drive), so I figured that it would be easy with all the inputs available...

Yes... it's the same deal with me

I just exchanged it... NCIX replacement program is REALLY great. The pay for shipping both ways and I can keep the monitor until the next one arrives!!! I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing the blackout problem... I haven't experienced it yet... my brightness is at 30. I use my old...

I received it on this Tuesday and yesterday, I found one stuck pixel. The pixel displays as light blue/aqua when I have a grey background. The pixel displays the correct color on any other background black/white/blue/red/green. I also ran a few hours of Dead Pixel Fixer and JFixxer... which...

I'm having a hard time calibrating my monitor... what do you suggest to use for color settings?

Mfg. Date = March 2007 Display mode = Full, 1:1, and Aspect. And I love by the way!!!!

I didnt get the WZ because many people mentioned how the "Z" functionality did practically nothing. Also, I bought it 1.5 weeks ago... the WZ was still more expensive back then. I price matched the FP241W for 645... so I don't feel that bad for missing the sale.

Thanks!!!!!!!

I just got a BenQ FP241W and I paid for Zero Dead Pixel Coverage. I would like to fully test the monitor for any issues when I get home. What applications are good to test for dead pixels, banding, etc...???
