    Troubleshooting video flicker

    I agree that it should be able to but at some level there's a flaw with it, but only under that specific circumstance. I found a thread with others with the same issue but they'd never worked out what was causing it: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1030620150

    Troubleshooting video flicker

    Thanks, I think that is the problem. I had the two monitors working before on my old system, but it was with one VGA and one DVI port. So I think the issue is that if you're running two monitors off one card, both using DVI but at different resolutions/refresh rates then you get the...

    Slot choice for 2nd vid card

    I need to add a second video card (not the same card and not in Crossfire/SLI). My mobo has a second PCI-Ex16 slot, can I use that for the second card or do I have to find one that runs in a regular PCI slot?

    Faulty video card?

    I've got this same problem. I posted a question about it on this thread: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1156172 Did this turn out to be a power supply issue?

    Troubleshooting video flicker

    I got a new computer a few weeks ago and I've been having a problem with it, maybe someone has some ideas. I have two monitors hooked up, a Benq 24” running at native 1920x1200 and a Dell2007FWP 20” running at native 1680x1050. Intermittently one of the two monitors will flash off...

    Official BenQ FP241W Thread !!! Info, Pictures, Reviews

    In regards to the whole issues of using an XBox 360 and this monitor without the 1:1 fix... The 360 does put out a 16:9 aspect right? So the stretching people are complaining about is the stretch from 16:9 to 16:10? Just curious, I only play PC games but might consider getting a 360 one of...

    Official BenQ FP241W Thread !!! Info, Pictures, Reviews

    No, this won't affect you. In my opinion it's an awesome monitor, I'm 100% happy I bought this (note that I just use this for my PC). As has been pointed out before, the lack on 1:1 isn't a defect it's just not a feature offered on this monitor. Some monitors have 1:1, some monitors don't...

    Official BenQ FP241W Thread !!! Info, Pictures, Reviews

    Catalyst Control center reports the monitor having a max refresh rate of 75hz. Windows only gives me the option of 60hz, which is what i thought was the only option for lcds. Is anyone running above 60?

    Official BenQ FP241W Thread !!! Info, Pictures, Reviews

    That would be up to your game settings. In HL2 for example there's a whole list of 16:10 resolutions to choose from. I just tried BF2 at 1680x1050 and it worked fine (i had to use a command line switch to get that of course). Here's some 16:10 options: 1920x1200 1680x1050 1600x1024...

    Official BenQ FP241W Thread !!! Info, Pictures, Reviews

    I ordered from NewEgg last Thursday. Monitor showed up an hour ago. First off, it's beautiful. I got a brand new Dell 2007fpw as a second monitor last week and the image quality on the BenQ is much better IMO. I hooked the BenQ up to an old VCR using the composite. It stretched the image to...
