    Should I go for a USB Sound card?

    I'd like to just point out that some people listen better than others. In a setup where I hear huge differences between two products, others will say they sound exactly the same. Obviously there are people in both camps and varying levels in between. Tweaking an equalizer does not make a...

    NEC 20WMGX2 Problems

    When I sent mine in because of a panel problem, they replaced the panel itself, not the whole thing. So it's possible they still have spare parts laying around for warranty repairs. You should call them up and see what they can do, they are pretty good in customer service.

    WTF? A bug is walking inside my LCD2490

    First, No, I will not be taking apart my monitor and void the 4 year warranty. I hope it's gone now though, when I was about to go to bed I did a cursory scan and didn't see it. Even better than pictures, I have video of it. I'll see if I can find a way to upload it somewhere that has enough...

    WTF? A bug is walking inside my LCD2490

    This is like the one time I hope a bug is smart so it can find a way out and survive! I certainly don't want to deal with RMA on this monitor. If you saw my ordeal in getting one with no bad pixels, you'll know I don't want to play that lotto again! Hmm, now where did that sucker go. I...

    WTF? A bug is walking inside my LCD2490

    I was just browsing the web when I notice the bug going up my screen. Except it was blurry so I took a closer look and it is actually INSIDE the screen! WTF? So I see it go up and up and I was happy because it was about leave the screen but it gets there and there is no way out. So I have a...

    Difference between new AMD notebook processors?

    Along with the introduction of the Turion ULTRA ZM-8x series, there is also the RM-70 and QL-60 that fit in the same socket and came out at the same time. Does anyone know the difference between the 3 series of processors? What I know so far: -ZM have 1024KB cache per core while the other...

    If you found a gem of a monitor resurface for a fraction of its cost...

    You got me all excited so I went and ripped that panel open and still no remote :(

    I had those lines, that's why I rma'd mine. After they repaired it by replacing the LCD, it was perfect. I'd say that is a defect.

    Color calibrator

    I think the light quality can only be measured with an eye-one pro, not the eye-one display 2. Unless you've done so otherwise.

    Color calibrator

    What software allows you to measure CRI? I have the NEC i1Display 2 and would love to test some light bulbs I have.

    Dell 2408WFP Color Calibraiton

    You'll need a calibrator to do a real calibration. I have two 1905FP monitors, and to calibrate them both the same luminance and color performance, the settings in the monitor are set to different numbers, from the RGB sliders to the brightness level. So one persons settings aren't going to...

    If you found a gem of a monitor resurface for a fraction of its cost...

    I just got my RMA repair back. It says the LCD panel was replaced. The image persistence seems to be gone, and the original issues with white vertical lines are all gone. This panel has no bad pixels either, so NEC took care of me yet again! I'm just wondering if an LCD panel replacement...

    Pixel-walk

    I saw pixel walk on my unit as well. Overall, it did lots of tests poorly on lagom.nl. It did have some other issue though and has already been sent off for RMA repair so I can't test any further. In any case, after receiving the 20wmgx2 but using the lcd2490wuxi daily, I was quite...

    Which NEC monitor is best among these

    I concur with the lcd2490wuxi being the best one there. Don't let those specs about contrast ratio, etc.. fool you. It is the clearly superior monitor.

    If you found a gem of a monitor resurface for a fraction of its cost...

    Wow, mine had 2454 hours on it! No dead pixels, but the screen isn't completely uniform. Also a slight dent and scratch on the top, like it was dropped upside down on something. There is a slightly lighter band in it, and I can see the screen of the OSD (from when I used it?) when the...
