Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Upgrading From NEC 20WMGX2s for CS:GO And Video/Photo Work
I'm in the same boat. I have two 20WMGX2s. So far I've only tried one bigger screen, the Dell U2415. It's matte, though, which I found out I'm not a big fan of. And it's only a 60hz model. Compared to the NEC, it's full of compromise. Not surprising its price point I guess. With the 6-bit... -

Just ordered the Dell UltraSharp 2209WA
So, you'll be trading a horizontal gradient for a vertical gradient (if you get a TN). ;) -

Does your monitor make any sort of noise when it's on?
NEC 20WMGX2 (new) - No NEC 20WMGX2 (refurb, returned) - Yes (hum), when in standby NEC 20WMGX2 (replacement) - No Almost all my PC CRTs buzzed (although quietly). -

All LCDs suck, when is something new going to happen?
This++. When I got my first LCD (besides laptops), the 2000FP, I was shocked at how bright it was with a black screen. :confused: Even plasmas (except [maybe] the soon-to-be-defunct Kuro line), can't get that dark (not like CRTs). :rolleyes: -

LCDs can be better, but pricier. ;) -

Dell 2209WA vs 2007FP
Widescreen also rocks. If you didn't have 1200 pixels high before, you won't miss them. ;) But if you did... get a 1920x1200 model. :D -

Any good 20" 4:3 screens left
You could also try a refurbed 2001FP. (Note: I have no idea if this vendor is legit or not.) Or go "play roulette" on ebay. ;) -

question about refresh rates on lcd monitor.....
IIRC, at 75hz, LCDs drop every 5th frame since they really only show 60hz anyway. The only reason you'd want to run 75hz is if you use vsync and your system can't push 60fps, but can push 37.5fps. Otherwise, it will drop down to 30fps instead (because it will refresh every other frame since it... -

How to cope with a dead pixel?
It took me a lot longer to get used to the (horizontal) wires on my aperture grill CRT than it did the one dead pixel on one of my 20WMGX2s. :p -

Just ordered the Dell UltraSharp 2209WA
If you crank up the brightness really high and look at very dark pictures/patterns, do you see dithering? Sounds like I'll be hanging onto my 20wmgx2's for now. I wonder if LG's e-IPS model will be any better. Still, the 2209wa is what I'd get if I was buying new right now. -

Can anyone (who has one) make a comparison between the 2209wa and the 20wmgx2 (besides matte/glossy, screen size, and stand)? :) -

NEC 20WGX2 20.1" Widescreen LCD, still any good?
If you're still good with the size/resolution/glossy finish, then hang onto it. All the current monitors have trade-offs (e.g., go up in size/resolution, but lose to increased lag, wide gamut [a con, unless you're color managed for it], or viewing angles [*VA/TN panels]). Unless a miracle... -

Do you really care about extreme viewing angles for your monitor?
++ This is what makes TN fail horribly for anything remotely requiring correct color. Trying to show someone else what's on your screen sucks, too (e.g., shopping online with my S.O. on our laptop). Working underneath a desk and looking up at a TN panel isn't much fun either. :P -

If you found a gem of a monitor resurface for a fraction of its cost...
I got my replacement unit back from NEC yesterday. It appears to be a completely different unit (different s/n, no scratch, no high pitch sound in standby either :D). I only had a few minutes to test it, so no thorough check for dead pixels, yet. :p Still no remote, connection panel cover, or...
