the "dirty word" few wish to utter: "that some homeless people who live in the woods, choose this life. not because they hate society in general, but that they are "allergic" to it. think of a software person who finds now he *cannot* tolerate any lcd/led monitor and all his job sites require...

hi all. I just now read that the Incandescent light bulb will not be sold after January 1st! http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/dec/16/new-year-goodbyes-40-and-60-watt-bulbs-disappear-s/ And why is this topic even in a display forum?! because...

hi all. Its me again, the old guy who seems to have endless eye problems with modern monitors. can anyone recommend a 20 inch or so ccfl monitor for me?! one with a good dot pitch if larger than 21". I was in Best Buy again today. I looked at about ten monitors. I left with the very...

hi all. The acer h226hql has arrived. looks good, so far. one small problem: the only "driver" for this monitor seems to be two files, acer.icm and a acer.inf. the color profiles and the like.... windows has a generic driver that works but how would I "install" these two files...

hi all, for probably my last post. So is there a good monitor with a very low pixel pitch, high density pixels, with no PWM and not too expensive, out there? [good thing bestbuy has a good return policy.] I am returning the otherwise good Samsung S27c750P as I *really* notice...

hi all. I bit the bullet for a sapphire hd 7770 videocard. I note that this card covers two slots and thus my pci-e slot will be covered and my creative soundblaster x-fi card is there and thus I will have to remove it to use my onboard sound. onboard. the realtek 97 series , the "HD"...

say there, you may have something! last week I bought a Samsung newmodel S27c750P 27". the 1080p only is all my videocard can handle. I must have looked for 30 minutes at the bestbuy display, of it. I watched the demo go through its cycle many times and often the background was very...

hi all. I just yesterday bought a Samsung S27c750P at bestbuy for about $330. Afew days before that, I had bought, and returned a HP 25bw. "everyone" there in the sales department raved about how the hp had a much better image compared to the 27" Samsung next to it. So I bought the hp...

=============== thank you, Mark. I suspect there is a combination of factors. Too, it takes time to adjust to any new monitor as there is a difference between the new and the old. if I had kept it for awhile, I might have adjusted. so why did I return it for my refund, then...

hi all. the *end* of my monitor hunting! I had bought, yesterday, the hp 25bw at Best Buy, a wonderful looking monitor. I adjusted the colors, placed it on a low brightness setting, then proceeded to try it out. I returned it today. Best Buy is good for returns. was my return due...

hi all. Oh the travails of monitor hunting! I "merely" wanted something larger than my otherwise good older crt viewsonic 19". I have noticed, over the years, that my peripheral vision seems to be more "developed" than what most people have. Thus my 19" monitor is not large enough. I...

hi all. What is the difference between Samsung S27c230B and Samsung S27c750p?! the 30B is for sale in Office depot at $250 and the 50p is for sale at Best buy for around $295. very few reviews on the 230B, I find. are they really identical? the 750 has no PWM, I read. Now I...

hi all. the CROSSOVER 27" 27QW IPS . is this wonderful sounding but expensive monitor for *me*? Now that this monitor can be bought now in "regular" online store favorite places, I am tempted. I have right now a veiwsonic A90f+ crt maybe 20 inches. the image quality for photos has...

I wonder just what percentage of these s2440ls have PWM? And someday maybe there might be a way to tell before buying. I see the day coming when *all* the televisions and monitors can only be bought on line, as BestBuy and other retailers close up. there will be no way to look at a screen...
