    27" iMac displayport Input

    I got the Sapphire 5870 Eyefinity 6 card from Amazon. It was on sale for $460 when I bought a couple days ago, but went back up to $493 now. Maybe it will go back on sale again soon...

    27" iMac displayport Input

    Update to my situation: I purchased the Sapphire 5870 Eyefinity 6 card to replace my original 5870. It works like a dream with the iMac. It will display any resolution (I assume the GPU is scaling for nonsupported), and displays the POST screen/BIOS. It's also a "smart" card -- when...

    27" iMac displayport Input

    Tried a couple more things this morning with the DP400 converter. Hooked it up to an older computer with a Radeon 4850 installed and got instant 2560x1440. So then I decided to reinstall Windows 7 on another partition on my 5870 machine. Nope nothing, still limited to 1280x720. So anyone...

    27" iMac displayport Input

    Got my Atlona D400 today to try with my Sapphire 5870 card. I was trying to avoid buying a new $500+ video card to run the iMac at 2560x1440 from my PC and I knew the 5870 had problems with it over displayport. Well I've plugged it in and it thinks the max resolution of the iMac is 1280x720...

    27" iMac displayport Input

    Does anyone know if the iMac's audio input/output still functions in target display mode. I know the usb/firewire gets shut down, but I never read anything about the audio. The reason I ask is because I input my PC's audio into the iMac to have it play through the connected speakers. This...

    LG L246W vs HP w2408 in PQ?

    In terms of color I'd say maybe the HP is a little more "vivid" but then again the glossy screen can produce that effect. Contrast I'd say maybe the LG holds detail a little more in the darker colors. But overall black level darkness I'd say is the same. Both screen produce very nice images...

    LG L246W

    I returned my HP w2408 to Circuit City yesterday and picked up one of these. (matched Best Buy $499) I really like the w2408 in all aspects except the TN viewing angles. The LG was $100 cheaper though and it is the first monitor in a long time I'm having trouble finding something wrong with...

    LG L246W vs HP w2408 in PQ?

    I bought the w2408 from CC this weekend to try out. Yes it is a TN panel so there is color shifting. The colors/contrast/blacks are just about the best I've seen. Black levels are of the utmost important to me and this panel really delivers a nice deep looking black (I think partially thanks...

    Gateway FPD2485W - 24" HD LCD

    I had a January model and had the terrible ground texture shimmering/flickering thing in WoW too so don't feel bad. I think it is an interaction between the panel and certain video cards because my laptop hooked to the panel did not produce the flicker, but my Mac Pro hooked to it was...

    Gateway FPD2485W - 24" HD LCD

    Nah the flicker isn't a constant thing. It only happens with certain textures (ground textures in some zones) in WoW on these 24" panels. It never happened on my 23" HP S-IPS panel, but I like the 24" panels better because they have eye popping colors/contrast that the S-IPS panels lack.

    Gateway FPD2485W - 24" HD LCD

    Nope he's right. I just picked up an fpd2485w from Best Buy today thats is MGQ71, build date of January 2007. The colors pop a lot more than my HP L2335 23" panel. There's a slight ghosting, but nothing as bad as the original Dell 2405fpw I returned due to input lag. One thing thats...

    FS: Dell 2405FPW

    Thanks for all the emails with offers, but this monitor is SOLD! (That was fast =P )

    FS: Dell 2405FPW

    Thanks! Yes I love my H/K Soundsticks. I've never been into that 5.1 PC sound thing. I just like simple stereo w/ subwoofer.

    FS: Dell 2405FPW

    I've had this 2405FPW since they first started shipping. It is pixel perfect as far as I could ever tell. (I used one of those LCD pixel tests that changes the background color to look for stuck pixels). It is in excellent condition and was well cared for. There are no dings, bumps, bruises...

    2405 mouse cursor lag

    Has anyone with a Nvidia 6800 card ever fixed this completely? I can still feel the lag. This is especially true after I've been using my work pc all day on which the mouse doesn't lag at all.
