I went from a Dell 2209WA at 75Hz to a Planar SA2311W. It feels a lot better with overdrive on, but is still worse than a CRT. Without overdrive, it honestly isn't much better than the Dell. Overdrive does cause artifacts (white trails) that can be distracting in certain situations.

I have a Planar SA2311W and passed 12 on the pixperan readability test at 120hz with overdrive on (after a few attempts). The text gets distorted at that speed, but it is possible to tell the difference between most letters. That said, I was a bit disappointed coming from a 2209WA at...

The problem is that this does not encourage proper teamplay. Most people will be stuck with the default loadout. Who is going to repair the base or play support roles? If they stick with the microtransaction model, they need to include a full package at a reasonable price and market it as the...

Spoonbot!

Does anyone have experience with the SA2311W? My Dell 2209WA just died, and I'm looking to move to 120Hz without losing too much picture quality. Every 120Hz monitor has mixed reviews, but I can't find much on the Planar.

This mouse tape works great on my G9: http://www.amazon.com/CS-Hyde-PTFE-Mouse-Color/dp/B003DZ16X4 $8 and free shipping if you total over $25 from Amazon. Otherwise, $3 shipping from their website: http://www.cshyde.com/c4web/Accessories.htm.

My computer had regular gray screens and BSODs after installing my XFX 5850. It turns out the card brought out instability in my CPU/memory overclock. The problems went away after tweaking those. It had nothing to do with the 5850, which is perfectly stable (and nearly silent) at 940/1150.

Here's a link to the 76Hz driver: http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6280080&postcount=159

Some people were also fine with CRTs at 60Hz. For me it's almost like looking at a strobe light.

I am definitely tracking the text with my eyes. Unless you are moving the window very slowly, or your LCD is much faster than both my home and work monitors (2209WA@75Hz and 2232BW @75Hz), I have a hard time believing the text stays crisp while moving. Perhaps you haven't used a CRT in so long...

I can easily see the blurring in the window and in FPS games, even after over a year with my LCD. I'm used to it, so it doesn't really bother me. Some people are more sensitive to it, I guess.

Try it on a CRT. There's a huge difference.

Anyone can see ghosting. Just shrink your browser window and move it around. You don't even have to move it fast for the text to blur enough to be unreadable.

Changing between 60Hz and 76Hz on my 2209WA is noticeable not only in shooters, but also with cursor movement in Windows. Every once in a while it resets to 60Hz when I start Windows, and I can instantly see it. The difference between the 2209WA and a good CRT is far greater. That said, I...
