    Trying to decide on a solid gaming monitor (Samsung 700D vs BenQ XL2420T)

    Straight on. In the end I left a deposit on the BenQ today. If it gives me trouble, I'll try repairing it the first time. The second time, I'll swap it with another monitor. I'll let you know how it goes.

    Benq xl2420t, is it worth buying a hardware calibrator?

    I was trying to find someone that offers a service to do it for me actually, it's still way cheaper than buying a spyder 4.

    Looks pretty good but I'm no expert. Could it be formatted a bit better?

    1920x1080 displays with 75Hz support (listing)

    The reason I actually stopped using windows 8 is not because after a couple of hours it starts slowing down like hell on EVERYTHING. I mean - 2 hours of playing BF3 and it's fine - then I see hard disk spinning like hell, and ram at FULL usage (I have 8gb bdw, never this problem with win7) and...

    1920x1080 displays with 75Hz support (listing)

    The display is definitely running @ 75hz. Here's a pic from the OSD: Haven't tried gaming @ 75fps. Wonder if I actually will see a difference.

    1920x1080 displays with 75Hz support (listing)

    Hmm....... Even though it's supposedly running at 75hz, PixPerAn shows 60 fps at the top right. Anything to that? Shouldn't I be seeing 75fps? Also, what's with the "frames lost" thing?

    Trying to decide on a solid gaming monitor (Samsung 700D vs BenQ XL2420T)

    Any reputable source that checks how fast this is compared to the BenQ, like prad.de?

    Trying to decide on a solid gaming monitor (Samsung 700D vs BenQ XL2420T)

    Hmm that LG W2363D looks good but it was released in May 2010, almost three years old. I'm not sure if they still make them, not in stock anywhere so I'll have to stay phoning up stores to check if they can order it. If it's really worth it, I'll check. It better be cheaper than the BenQ though...

    IT Resume Thread

    Here's mine. I'm pretty sure there's many ways it could improve. I need to mention that I worked for 3 months in summer programming as a freelancer - but apart from that I still think it's missing something.

    Professional dual screen advice, IPS recommendation

    You know, the best thing possible for the eyes is something with e-Ink (just talking about programming only here :P) I do 8-9 hours of programming per day - 40 hour week. I've always wondered why they don't sell large e-Ink monitors with relatively higher speeds than a kindle. Hell, 100ms would...

    1920x1080 displays with 75Hz support (listing)

    Wow, ghosting is quite worse I think. Also, I can't notice much of an improvement if I move my cursor around in circular motion for instance. But, granted - 60hz to 75hz isn't that much of a jump at all. Glad I did this because I was considering a cheaper 75hz monitor vs a 120hz one.

    1920x1080 displays with 75Hz support (listing)

    Add me to the list. Here's to my €100, 21.5" AOC monitor running at 75Hz. At 76Hz it shows a weird picture and cursor starts lagging. Beyond that, it just says "No input". My model is: AOC e2241vwa Now... guys - will it blow up if I leave it like this for prolonged use? By the way...

    Gloss filter/removal?

    Is it possible to buy a filter to make a monitor matte? I've seen quite a number of people claiming this while researching on the net, but they never say "what" filter. Like this guy: http://www.tech-forums.net/forums/f78/glossy-matte-monitor-gaming-250852/#post1931188 My friends have...

    Trying to decide on a solid gaming monitor (Samsung 700D vs BenQ XL2420T)

    Just what I was looking for! At worst, the prices on the other BenQ will go down :) Don't need a 27", I will have a secondary monitor... no space on my desk and moreover, quite a bit out of budget. Around €520 here, a bit too expensive to justify. The samsung 700D looks really appealing...
