I had the same thought. It'll have to go into storage for now until I get around to buying the BNC cable. I'll post how it works out then :)

I moved over the weekend and the monitor won't turn on now since the trip. It's as if it can't detect the signal. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Won't risk it again from eBay...maybe this time I'll get the 30" Dell LCD. :rolleyes:

If only there was another way...especially for us Canadians...I'd probably buy another one... :D

Have you tried it? (I think you might have to register the resolution in Windows with PowerStrip before it will work. Not sure but that's how BF2 works) Only thing better would be the TripleHead2Go from Matrox, but then you've got the bezel in each 3rd of the viewing area. I've been...

Considering how rare these monitors are now and that they were original worth over $2,000, I'd say anything under $500 is a steal! Personally, I'd rather a Shadow Mask based CRT or LCD for my work (text) but if you do a lot of gaming, there's no better, period!

Put together some new screenshots comparing 4x3, 16x10, 16x9, and letterbox like 1368x668: Regular 4x3 Native aspect of 16x10 16x9 And finally, my favorite letterbox like resolutions (which FW900 supports...if you don't mind letterbox black bars...widescreen monitor makes it not so...

Yeah, but like with the XBox 360, you don't see much of the black border and you get a slightly better FOV giving that slight tactical edge! :D 16x9 (at 16x10 you wouldn't see all the fence post on the left) 4x3

Being able to set "C:\{Battlefield 2 Folder Here}\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +widescreen 1 +szx 1280 +szy 720 for "Target" in my Battlefield 2 shortcut: Priceless! :D (OK I know, I need some upgrades to run at higher resolutions :rolleyes: )

Sorry I'm so "sour!" :p Anyway, yeah I got the refund and they never asked for the monitor back (yet) so it all turned out good in the end! The scratches are an eye sore for trying to work on white documents, but it can't be beat for gaming either way, (don't notice scratches in fast action...

Hey all!!! It's been over 10 days now since I filed the PayPal dispute against my seller and they never responded. I guess that means I should get a refund (aside from my $132 border fees). Unfortunately, at the time of writing this, the dispute still says, "Waiting for Seller's Response."...

Yeah!!! I wait for it to warm up for half an hour. I did Image Restore on 9300k, then contrast around 90 and brightness around 30. Now when I first turn it on I drop the brightness down to 0 then bring it back up to 30 about a half hour later :)

My Image Restore still works...so in other words, things could be worse... :rolleyes:

The discoloration has improved to the point of not being noticeable. Don't know what that was about! The scratches are a little annoying sometimes on bright screens, but I can probably fix that. The crack will have to be filled in or covered somehow. Anyway, it doesn't look like I'll be...

Well, it's getting interesting now. Five days, still no response to my complaint. Five more and it becomes a free FW900! It's not like they suddenly died because they're still leaving feedback for others (happened with one of my purchases once :( / never received). Anyway, I can't really...

Yeah, that's probably the last time I buy something this big off of eBay, no matter how rare. Hey Lord of Shadows, to make you feel better, mine came from Wilmington, MA ;)
