woooo yeah! I still have this monitor and I still love it. I too had the problem with the capacitors. I was able to fix it. Frigging awesome. I suck at soldering but I still manage to fix junk with my lame little 15 dollar iron. I think I got this monitor back in late 2005? I can say it was...

Mine has the blotch now. So do a couple of others I've seen (37 and a 42). I will never buy Westinghouse again. Still though, it was pretty awesome while it didn't have the blotch and the blotch is pretty much un-noticeable for console gaming and tv/movie watching. As a computer monitor...

I don't have too much of a problem running at lower res for now. I figure since I will be going with quite a jump in my next system anyways, I may as well treat myself to a nice new video card. I can't believe I held my wallet and skipped c2d altogether, but fact is I haven't questioned my...

truth be told I am using a 37". It's native res is 1920x1080. I'm not always able to play at that res. This monitor is one of the reasons why my system feels old.:o That all sounds great, but I figure if I do get a new card it's gonna be something else. I really can't make up my mind...

That link was a fun read. Thank you reallyfull. Neverlift, I was thinking of doing that. Still not sure what card I want. My system isn't really performing too badly. I think I might just wait it out a few more weeks and just get everything together. I'm happy that my system has worked so...

Hi, I'm using a fairly old 939 system and with the latest games I'm falling behind. I was thinking I'd wait a while for a new i7 system but until then I was wondering if getting a new video card would help much. relevant specs ECS Kn1 'extreme' AMD 64 x2 4800 2gb Corsair xms ddr400...

Hey guys, I recently got into messing around with a tv tuner on a fairly low end pc. It's working pretty good, but I noticed when trying to get high def over the air broadcasts, that the picture was choppy/laggy. Is this a signal issue? Or does this mean the hardware isn't up to it? If so, what...

redlinez33 is right on. Really just depends on what you need out of it. I'll go ahead and say that I like my Gateway FPD2185W. It's a 21" LCD at 1680x1050 with a bunch of inputs. I have made great use of it as my display for computing, gaming with pc and consoles, as well as watching tv. I...

Hello, I am sick of this so I should probably ask for help. I recently purchased an LVM-37w3se monitor (you know, the 37" westy) and I would like to play my ps2 on it. I am using component cables and it seems that none of my games display in 480p, which is something I have known. I have...

Neat website and yeah I see banding on gradients. So is it my display that's responsible for the banding? Is there nothing I can do about it? Next time I buy a monitor I will keep this information in mind. Wow that sucks. I wonder why it isn't that big of a deal. Every time I look at a sky in...

Maybe that picture wasn't a good example. I was just looking for something quick. I took a few screenshots of sh4 and uploaded them here (dl rar) : http://files.filefront.com/SH4+Color+Bandingrar/;8131077;;/fileinfo.html Ignore the green line on the top and left of those screens if you look at...

Hi, first a general question. Is there anything that can be done to reduce or eliminate the effect of color banding on a display? I have an X1900XT and an FPD2185W. I always kind of ignored color banding, but somebody pointed it out that my monitor shows significant color banding whenever there...

Just got mine today. My dad was about to take it lol. Gonna try it out soon. I've been using cheapo disposable razors. I tried the 'quattro' 4 blade once but it sucked ass.

good to know it's not just me. I stopped playing red orchestra and reinstalled windows some months ago. I decide to install steam after seeing this. It said something about how I can receive the offer (i have an x1900xt) and then it gives me some duplicate error thing. I got all excited for...
