I am looking a getting one of these for my Sony GDM-F520 CRT. I think I am going to go with the one made by Blue Jeans Cable. As far as not getting the PnP data through BNC, can't you just manually install the monitor driver and then force all the refresh rates? My Sony GDM-F520 suffers from the...

I would go with the BenQ FP241W, I have two and they are perfect for gaming. You can still purchase them new from BenQ USA's online store (I think they still have some). If image quality is more important than gaming performance then go with the NEC LCD2490WUXi. If you can't find the BenQ FP241W...

I emailed Luis (Unklevito) and asked him to stop by and take a look at this thread and suggest a permanent fix. I figure that with his help we can narrow down and isolate this problem and maybe fix it. I do agree that it does seem to be a grounding problem that is causing some kind of impedance...

The guy I bought this GDM-F520 from is a certified Sony CRT tech as well as an electrical engineer. He goes by the name Unklevito on ebay, all he sells is Grade A+ high end Sonys. He would be the person to shed some light on this ghosting problem that seems to affect a large percentage of F520...

You are correct, I can eliminate the ghosting by reaching behind the monitor and applying slight pressure to the HD15 connector on the back of the CRT, thanks. Any ideas on a permanent fix for this?

I thought about doing that. This GDM-F520 has five inputs on the rear near the VGA input. Do I need the 5BNC cable or the 3BNC? Also what is the difference between RGB and BNC cables? I like to game at extreme resolutions like 2048X1536@85Hz, will the BNC cables limit my ability to play at...

Anyone have any idea what manufacture date the FP241W's available from BenQ USA are? I am thinking of getting another one but need the 1:1 Pixel Mapping and Overscan on/off option. Also these are brand new sealed units not refurb's correct?

Well I already tried using a brand new Radio Shack VGA cable, but it didn't help any. I am running a 8800GTX with DVI outputs with a DVI-VGA adapter. I wonder if that adapter is causing some kind of impedance within the signal path? I think I might just get a straight DVI-A to VGA cable and rule...

I recently purchased a mint Sony GDM-F520 22" CRT from a reputable online seller a few months ago and have been pleased with the display until a few days ago. It has developed an annoying habit of echoing text and vertical lines intermittently. The only way to describe it is that it will ghost...

I was wondering where you found a grade A+ refurb. The only place I can find refurbs is AccurateIt but they only have a Grade A- for $699.00. I think Unklevito on ebay has some nice FW900's too but he hasn't listed any lately. How important is this whole grading thing anyway, I heard people who...

If anyone is still looking for a FP241W, I noticed a new one on ebay for $495.00. I think it is a Sept 2007 model. Wish I would have seen it before I spent $650.00 at Newegg, oh well.

Just got mine in today from Newegg. September 2007 Build, 1:1 pixel mapping, Overscan On/Off, no backlight bleed and zero dead/stuck pixels. Very happy everything turned out OK, I guess I got lucky. Turned brightness down to about 60.

Both Newegg and NCIX are no longer listing the FP241W on their websites. I got the last one from Newegg and it should arrive on 1-21-08. What are the odds that this is going to be a Sept 2007 model?

Looks like Newegg will hopefully be getting a shipment on 1-17-08, might be their last from what I understand. I got an auto notification email from them today and said they were in stock, went to their website and it said "In Stock", so I went ahead and placed my order. The funny thing is that...
