Just popping in to say that Samsung is working great for me. The DoubleSight would probably work as well - maybe even better. Wish I could have checked one out. I'll be keepong an eye on both companies to what their new models are like. bfx

A buddy of mine has a Mac Pro with the quadro and it rips through his AutoCad projects while his otherwise identical Max Pro except for having the ATI card bogs down. But there's no difference between the two when playing back full scenes in a 3d app. The frame rate stays the same. I've...

Hope you enjoy the DoubleSight. I've spent the last few days checking out all sorts of lcd's from TN's to H-IPS and decided none will work for me. The Samsung 245bw was the best TN and 1 NEC and 2 EIZO were the best of the IPS panels. Did not find anyone locally that has the DoubleSight...

As I said earlier I bought both Mac Pros at the local Apple Store - not over the net. They had only the base models with the 7300GT in stock and it's worked fine til now. But I'm getting into 3D meshes with a couple of million polys each and 256 mb of vram just isn't cutting it anymore...

Thanks Silversierra Did you put the 7300gt in a regular pci-e slot and the 7800gt in the 16x slot? Wonder if rhe setup works under Leopard. Sadly I rarely boot into OS X due to lack of apps. The Boot Camp 1.4 license expires tommorow so I'll have to upgrade to Leopard. bfx

dogbyte_13 - I'm also looking forward to Jan 18th. Actually I'd be happy with something like an nvidia 7900 gtx. Maybe a nice 24" or 27" Cinema display will also be announced. I wish. And - the Mac Pro is wicked fast. I've got a couple ... a 2.66 ghz quad and a 3.0 ghz eight core. Neither...

Thanks dogbyte_13 I was afraid the situation hadn't changed. And thanks for the 7800GT mention - that's something I hadn't heard. I'm kind of surprised one of the nVIDIA card makers hasn't came out with something. Mac's may not have the market penetration pc's have but there is a...

When I bought my Mac Pro at the local Apple Store the base model was the only type in stock so I ended up with the 7300GT video card. It's worked great up til now but I'm moving into areas that need a faster card with more vram. I would buy the ATI from Apple - but my main app has always...

Thanks rice rocket and squares. One minute I want the Samsung and next I want the DoubleSight. I did track down someone in my area that has the Samsung and also uses my 3D app. Sometime in the next couple of weeks I'm going over to his place and check it out. From what I've seen posted...

Got a reply from DoubleSight customer service in less than 3 hours. The DoubleSight DS-245W has 1:1 pixel mappping in widescreen node only. It's been 4 days since I emailed Samsung the same question about the 245BW. But that doesn't seem typical for Samsung; the people I know that have...

Yes Raez - please do elaborate. What specifically are strong points of the Samsung over the DoubleSight? Color quality - accuracy - is an important factor to me and s-pva is generaly considered better than tn in this regard. That is the prime reason I'm considering the DoubleSight...

Title sums it up. My old faithful Viewsonic P225f crt finally died. RIP So - here I am on an even older Magsonic 17" (that the p225f replaced - and glad I didn't rhrow it away) looking for a new monitor. I don't play games - no free time - so response and lag times aren't that critical. Do...
