    24" vs 27" monitor for gaming, re: frame rates

    I currently have a 24" monitor and a single Radeon 6950. I get 45fps in The Witcher 2 @ 1920x1200 and 60fps in every other game. The experience is fine. I recently got rid of my second 24" monitor and was considering replacing the remaining 24" with a 27" so I'd have more space for working...

    11.4 Firefox Text Sharpness

    Yes, that will fix Firefox. As the screen shot shows, though, Firefox isn't the only window that uses direct draw. It would be nicer if things just worked properly instead of having to do a workaround that only fixes one particular program.

    11.4 Firefox Text Sharpness

    I didn't know that. Well, I'm having the same (or maybe just similar) problem, as shown here. But, I took the screen shot with the Print Screen key - no snip tool. The blurring only happens in accelerated windows. Notice that Chrome and Control panel (and the task bar) look fine, while Firefox 4...

    11.4 Firefox Text Sharpness

    This doesn't add up. Morphological Filtering does not show up in screenshots, so how could that have been the problem given that we could see the blurriness in the screen shot you posted?

    It's 250 cd/m2 according to the monitor - not measured. So, it's probably less. In any event, I agree. In an absolute sense, this is a very good monitor. In the context of acknowledging that LCDs are horribly slow, have cruddy contrast and poor viewing angles when compared to any other...

    Experienced NEC 2490 users...

    Thank you for pointing to that thread. I had actually read it previously, but it makes a lot more sense now that I own one. Now that I understand how ColorComp reduces contrast, I've moved from the default level of 3 to level 1. This drops the contrast much less than level 3 but provides...

    Experienced NEC 2490 users...

    Thanks to both of you. After playing with stuff, I've found that ColorComp is worth it (and doesn't seem to affect input lag), while auto brightness doesn't work well for me (I notice the brightness changes when they happen, and it's distracting. Plus, I have a consistently-lit office)...

    Experienced NEC 2490 users...

    There are a bunch of features on the NEC 2490 that seem neat but are off by default and have poor documentation. Any tips are appreciated. Black level: Everyone wants blacker blacks. The manual fails to explain what the trade off is for setting this to 100%. ColorComp/Auto Luminance: It...
