    Xbox 360 on a 24" LCD

    I use an NEC LCD24WMCX. It does 16:9 properly over all four inputs (DVI-D, D-SUB, HDMI, Component), and accepts 1080p over Component (that's how my 360's hooked up). It's a bit pricey at $480, but it's inputs and scaling are worth it. Unfortunately, it's a TN panel with no gloss coating, so...

    NEC LCD2470WNX

    Are you still seeing inverse ghosting on the new panel? Are you now seeing the white-on-white overbrightness I saw?

    720p 1:1 pixel mapping???

    Now they should. At launch, not so much. The PS3 has no scaler for PS3 games. If the game only supports up to 720p, then if 720p is in your supported resolution list, you get 720p. If 720p is not in your supported resolution list then the output is sent through the NTSC encoder chip and comes...

    Quick Monitor Decision!!! NEED HELP

    There's an existing thread on the 2470WNX. If you go to the last couple of pages you'll see some evidence of ghosting. Personally, I can't re-create the issues being observed on my 2470WNX. If I had to choose again, I'd still choose the 2470WNX.

    NEC LCD2470WNX

    I don't see any pink and green ghosting in the FedEx images you've posted, just after-images of the FedEx text. Purple, like Package/Envelope, shows a lighter shade after image. Grey, like Freight, shows a lighter shade after image. As those are shots with a camera, that may simply be a function...

    NEC LCD2470WNX

    Mine was made in July, 2007, and I don't have any ghosting like what you describe. I run in sRGB mode. If you're using Vista, windows have a slight shadow to them on their edges. That won't account for the color blotches you're seeing, but it would account for something that looks like inverse...

    NEC LCD2470WNX

    I think you can upgrade your warranty so you get a new unit in RMA, but I'm not positive. I know the box includes several warranty extension/upgrade options, I've just not bothered to read them all yet. I really should... You can, at least on mine. Go to Menu Tools and then choose Resolution...

    Looking for Lcd monitor for xbox 360

    How do you plan to get audio out of the 360? If you go with a display that supports HDMI audio and will output the audio to a decent set of speakers and/or redirect audio out via a headphone jack, it won't matter. If you plan to go with left/right or optical audio out (and you don't own...

    Got my NEC AccuSync 24WMCX

    It's a TN panel. If you mean what specific TN panel, I don't know (even TFT Central just says 24" WS TN Film). I have one as well. I'll say this much - it's a lot easier to headshot in Uncharted on a 1080p panel than on a 720p TV. :-) One annoying habit it has is that it'll put 1920x1200 into a...

    TN..No TN..TN..No TN.....HeLp

    I wouldn't worry too much about it. If you're sitting right in front of the display, the dark-to-light effect is mitigated, for the most part. Between my NEC LCD2470WNX (s-PVA), NEC LCD24WMCX (TN) and NEC 20WMGX2 (s-IPS) , they all display text well. The best overall is the 2470, but the...

    LCD Manufacturers hide that TN, S-IPS, and MVA panels even exist

    Except that, well, it doesn't. At least none that I can see and I've been using it for six months. I haven't seen the problem Prad says they had with Overdrive. My monitor was made in late July, 2007, so it's possible the firmware was rev'ed to get rid of the issue. The mess is on the wide gamut...

    LCD Manufacturers hide that TN, S-IPS, and MVA panels even exist

    2470WNX is S-PVA, not TN. WVX is TN.

    LCD Manufacturers hide that TN, S-IPS, and MVA panels even exist

    Hey, they sell the LCD2470WNX in the EU. Just because it's not IPS doesn't mean it sucks.

    shopping. gahh little help would be great.

    I strongly recommend you view a 24" TN panel in person before buying one. My NEC LCD24WMCX (TN) is about two feet from my head. I can see color/brightness variations even from two feet away sitting right in front of the display. My NEC LCD2470WNX (s-PVA)? No problems. If you don't want...

    NEC LCD2470WNX

    Seeing as how the 20WMGX2 has been in its GearGrip case for the past month and a half, I'm gonna go with the 2470WNX. I prefer the text on the 2470WNX to the 20WMGX2, viewable angle is fine, it's 1920x1200 vs the 20WMGX2's lower 1680x1050, and it has quite a nice stand. The only areas it's less...
