    Dell U2412M

    Youtube videos can introduce any number of small artifacts, from cameras or compression. Your assertion that a youtube video could be used for what you're trying to use it for is pretty ridiculous. Crappy cameras have weird ccd scan rates that could introduce tearing easily, flash video...

    SOYO 24" DYLM24D6 Official Thread

    ugh, my power supply is dying AGAIN! I think it's only been a little over a year. Trying to decide whether to just buy a U2412 and be through with this soyo garbage.

    good christ, as bad as the location bar implementation was for link URLs, BLINKING SHIT ON THE LOWER LEFT HAND CORNER IS WAY WORSE! What were they thinking!?

    matte or glossy

    with glossy you will see the things on your screen combined with the things around you. with matte you will see only the screen.

    HP ZR24w

    It looks like it is stretching to the wrong aspect ratio *AND* overscanning. That's pretty bad. Look at the oval HUD elements -- they are kind of more like circles. Here is what it is supposed to look like: http://media.crispygamer.com/screenshot/Title6605/932981_20090415_790screen003-640x.jpg...

    SOYO 24" DYLM24D6 Official Thread

    The driving electronics in this thing are definitely the weakest link. Normally I would point to drivers, but if it just started doing this randomly and it is for SURE not a driver problem, your monitor may have just kicked the bucket. Mine is starting to do little blackouts even though I...

    I want eyefinity on the cheap...what monitors are decent for a small price?

    TNs usually have absolutely terrible vertical viewing angles, while they usually have decent horizontal viewing angles. If you intend to turn them sideways, TN won't work. TN's become practically unusable when turned sideways. Each of your eyes will see different colors and all of the screens...

    Matrix, you could just do it three separate times, or you could fill out the order form. I only needed one, so I don't know about the order form. riredale on this thread http://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=28274688&postcount=193 has confirmed that the units ordered from taobao are the...

    SOYO 24" DYLM24D6 Official Thread

    Anyone who has this monitor, now is your chance! Taobao has recognized the demand for replacement power supplies put forth by slickdeals/soyo owners and has made the purchase process EXTREMELY SIMPLE. 1-click! http://www.taobaodirect.com/2010/03/03/slickdeals-we-see-you/

    SOYO 24" DYLM24D6 Official Thread

    Yes, all of your "display turning off" and "need cold restart to get it working" problems are due to the PSU overheating, and the PSU will most likely die. Player-2 is going to get us all the revised unit. If you want a working Soyo in the future, I would jump on the opportunity before it's too...

    16:9 vs 16:10

    Vertical height is what matters. I think if you want a panel that is truly "better" than 16:10 24" 1920x1200 you will need AT LEAST 27" 2560x1440 16:9 panel. For proof: http://tvcalculator.com/index.html?b6099e4f60a5ee33e7c6cec0278bdac0

    This is a great deal. This guy doesn't seem scammy. He has an 8 year old paypal account, few year old ebay account with >200 positive feedback, and a business website with a phone number. He also has pictures of the revised power supply. Seems like an absolute stroke of luck to find this...

    Dell U2410

    Has anyone received a NEW unit with A01 from Dell? I was going to wait for the ZR24W, but honestly, that will probably be a crap-shoot (I've heard HP has some quality control issues) and good reviews could take months to come out. Edit: Nevermind, the guy on the previous page received an A01 on...
