    looking for an led backlit lcd

    LED backlit monitors aren't nearly as good as CCFL for color quality and uniformity. So I assume you're willing to trade that for lower power usage and possibly a more thin monitor, right?

    Out of interest, who calibrates their screen?

    I think it's worth it to calibrate even a $150 TN screen, especially if you can rent a colorimeter from somewhere like borrowlenses.com. Also, I almost never really see the colormunki mentioned on here. I know it's expensive... but does anyone use one? I'm thinking about getting one to use for...

    60Hz IPS vs. 120Hz TN

    Exactly. People always forget that the biggest benefit of > 60hz is a reduction in tearing without vysnc. Running my EA231WMi at 75hz significantly reduces tearing (but it's still there), so I can only imagine how nice 120hz would look.

    U2311H and HD5850 red tint

    Hey I've had this same problem too. A few weeks ago I reinstalled Windows and the problem went away.

    U3011 or ZR30W?

    Hmm, well the only reason I could think of for wanting one is if you do not use it with a PC. Almost every single video card has an option in the drivers for GPU scaling. There are a few reasons for not wanting one, mostly because of input lag.

    Dell U2711

    I'm definitely not saying the U2711 isn't good-- in my opinion it's the best 27" out there for the price. But all I said in my original post is that I thought it would be nice for Dell to make some changes to their future models. Even if some people don't think that lower input lag/changing...

    Dell U2711

    Not sure why you are being so rude about it :( .. I'm not "crying" about it, I just feel that a less aggressive ag coating and less input lag would make the monitor even better than it already is. You're absolutely right about 30ms being quick--245ms was as fast as I got on that test. But that...

    Dell U3011 coming soon.

    Promote/comment on this if you don't like the ag coating. http://www.ideastorm.com/ideaView?id=087700000000kI0AAI Hopefully Dell eventually makes some of these changes because the input lag and coating are the only things that make this monitor less than perfect for me.

    Dell U2711

    Promote/comment on this! Even if you disagree with me on some parts (which I would understand, I didn't spend much time gathering facts, proofreading), it would help getting the stuff you agree with implemented (especially a less aggressive ag coating)...

    Glossy vs Matte - The Ultimate Smackdown

    I probably wouldn't buy a glossy screen because of the reflections, but the lack of an AG coating makes them look so clean and sharp. If only there was a compromise between the two... a semi-glossy screen!! :D But seriously, a really slight AG coating just enough to blur reflections that lets...

    NEC 23" IPS EA231WMi

    lol he's not being an asshat! :p To answer mastercheif's question, I haven't been able to tell the difference after six months (like doing a really quick toggle back and forth between the old and new profile) on most monitors. I would still definitely rent that spyder3 to calibrate it once, and...

    NEC 23" IPS EA231WMi

    Not to complain about this monitor any more ;) , but is a 500K green-pink shift about normal? My colorimeter is reporting 6657K <- 6477K -> 6171K (yes, the right side turns pink really fast). Just wanna make sure I don't have a bad sample :(

    NEC 23" IPS EA231WMi

    It should be allowing you to select the file, if not make sure you're doing step 4/what Antimatter said. Edit: Also, if for some reason you would prefer to run 75hz (a much more common frequency), here's the 75hz displayport driver.

    CM690 Help

    I have a CM690 and I guess I'm not installing the hard drives correctly. I've built at least 20 comps for people over the years (all with different cases, etc.), but I can't figure this out. It seems like there isn't enough room for the SATA power connectors to stick out from the HDD without...
