I'm wondering if any kind souls can help me out here. I want to hook up my 360 through DVI (for proper 1:1 mapping) and my PC through HDMI. Can anyone tell me the exact adapters I would need? I know I need a VGA>DVI but there are many different "DVI-?" types and im not sure which one I...

That doesnt look right, what is the source/device that is playing in that picture? Also, what settings do you have for your monitor for that source/device playing in the pic. I have the VW model of this monitor and while the blacks are certainly not up to CRT levels, they are not even close...

I think you mean response time, not refresh rate.

Yep, I use ClearType.

Luckily for me, no. No blackout problems. Although, I never bothered to use the DVI cable that came included and instead just used the cable I was using previously.

It suffers from the same overscan/1:1 issue as the W, WZ models. (with component and VGA) Brook, text on that site (and text in general on this monitor) is superb. There is no pinkish fuzz or anything like you mentioned.

I don't have any blackout issues, though I have the VW model. I also never bothered to use the included DVI cable, and instead just used the DVI cable that was already connected to my PC from my previous monitor. I don't have any blackout issues with the 360 via component either. I can't...

Aspect stretches the overscanned 1080i/p image to fit the screen while maintaining the aspect ratio. It looks really great, trust me, but it could look even better if the monitor actually displayed perfect 1:1 pixel mapping as it should be in 1:1 mode, and not a slightly overscanned image which...

Well, he had it hooked up to his 360 so it can't be video card drivers. That is weird though, try setting your 360 to a different resolution and see if it continues. Make sure everything is connected firmly too, what brand of VGA (or component) cables are you using?

Anyone have a BenQ fp241VW calibrated using hardware? Ive calibrated it best I could using test patterns and such but I would like to see what Spyder calibrations look like.

I have the VW model (and Vista), and I have not noticed any blackout problems. One thing to consider though, I never bothered plugging in the DVI cable that came with my monitor, I just used the DVI cable I was using before which came with my Dell LCD monitor.

Np, just had to poke a lil fun at ya. Don't thank me though, thank Jim Robbins for the comparisons, I know it helped me. (I ended up getting a BenQ fp241VW)

If only there was a thread where they compared the two. Better, yet what if someone went through the trouble of comparing both monitors side by side, man wouldnt that be helpful. Oh wait, here you go. Next time though, it would be best if you searched around a bit, this thread was only on the...

Imo, the fp241 line are the best 24" monitors imo. Especially for someone like you who will use it exclusively for PC. The only drawbacks to these monitors are some scaling issues with devices gaming consoles and such, in 1080i/p. This is something that is rumored to be getting fixed atm, but...

Ive emailed BenQ, explaining the 1080i/p issue with 1:1 and also the HDMI/VGA 1080i/p issue. Hopefully they reply and further confirm that they're working on a fix.
