    CRT vs LCD: pixel aspect ratios

    OK thanks, for years I've just been seeing the Windows desktop incorrectly then. :o I guess I will RMA it if everyone thinks I shouldn't have to live with any stuck pixels. I thought 3 or 4 was something I should just accept seeing as how e.g., newegg's policy requires 8 for return. Luckily...

    CRT vs LCD: pixel aspect ratios

    I recently replaced my CRT (Viewsonic G90fb) with my first LCD display (a HP LP2475w) and am very happy with the HP in general. Aside from the 3 or 4 stuck pixels, there’s only one small thing that’s nagging at me: items that should have identical aspect ratios on the old 4:3 Viewsonic and the...

    LCD: 24" IPS - HP LP2475w, Planar PX2611W, NEC LCD2490WUXi-BK

    Finally pulled the trigger on a HP LP2475W, thanks in no small part to threads such as this. Was tempted in the end by the Planar PX2611W, but I think I reached a conclusion similar to JakFrost's. Assuming the NEC is out due to price and it comes down to Planar vs. HP, it's HP ftw: Planar...

    HP LP2475W ... last year's tech or still awesome?

    Thanks very much for all the responses. I'm feeling better about dropping the cash now, especially because it seems to be under $600 at some places online. I would say that low viewing angles do actually distract me quite a bit even though I'm not a graphics professional, so it's good to know...

    HP LP2475W ... last year's tech or still awesome?

    My beloved CRT has finally died and I'm being dragged kicking and screaming into the LCD age. I'm looking for a 23" or 24" and have a decent amount that I can spend ($750 or so). The monitor would be used for gaming and movies, in addition to normal word processing and other tasks. After...
