    does anybody have a copy of the modified windows 7 64 bit gdm-fw 900 drivers anywhere? I lost my backup :( I am going to store it in my dropbox, if any of you have it anywhere. Also, would these drivers help on using gdm-fw900 as extended desktop monitor? When I start windows 7 now (without...

    I'm no expert on this, but I am pretty sure this is very BAD idea. Installing anew coating will ruin the image further no doubt As recommeneded in thread: if anti glare is removed, the idea is to use the monitor in perfect lighting conditions to get the most out of it. I use mine in dimly lit...

    the CRT blacks are SO Black, that the 'power on' light of the CRT is the only thing visible. I'm looking at the blacks on above screenshots, and is it ME or can you actually SEE the difference between where the CRT screen is at, compared to the bezel and the crt surrounding? Must be my...

    Isn't hdfury something to use for playstation and old crt televisions? Or are they designing the new one for crt monitor users in mind? I looked at them before, but the hdfury could never handle high mhz signals, like 1920x1200@85hz..

    same here. Some of my old trinitrons 4:3 21 inch had various problems after a few years. I bought my fw900 in 2007, I have been using it for 2-8 hours (usually eight) hours during weekdays forever after, and the thing is still flawless. I got cru utility from toastyx and installed a...

    So fw900 wasn't the Pinnacle of CRT technology? 0.19mm shadow mask monitor sounds like it is better? One thing about fw900 that Always annoyed me is that the maximum (realistic) resolution is 1920x1200, because at higher resolutions the dot pitch starts interfering.. Or not?

    Over the years, I went from 1920@85hz as desktop resolution to 1440x900@120hz. The latter is indeed lot sharper, no motion blur, no distortion. I even use it in older games now.. Because the eye strain is considerably less if you spend 8+ hours before your CRT. At 1920x1200@85hz I was...

    I Always find it amusing that the image shown in the AD pictures on those excellent quality CRT is Always BAD. Makes me wonder if the Pinnacle CRT technology (aka the gdm-fw900) wasn't there too early. Graphical cards ets might not have been able to get the most out of this CRT. I mean, I...

    that is exactly why many players who play multiplayer first person shooters on a CRT at 800x600@160hz HAVE AN EDGE in that game. Better reaction time=EDGE As to why it is? dunno :p My best guess: LCD change each pixel in colour when displaying a moving scene at 144hz. CRT actually...

    I just installed a 1920x1080@96hz resolution with CRU. The idea is to make a resolution that has a hertz of x times 24hz, for movie watching. Is it even possible to watch movies at 96hz on a gdm-fw900? I vagiely remember reading something about it being possible, but that the values needed...

    I own a gdm-fw900 since 2007. Can anyone direct me to an old good CRT software program that includes geometry patterns and contrast images and colour images to calibrate the image with the OSD? It becomes really hard to find a download on the web that doesn't include installing shady download...
