63 brightness 50 contrast DCR off User color: R100 G86 B73 eyeball calibration but I'm pretty happy

bios/POST load for me over VGA, so i guess i'll keep a cord hanging off the back to plug in when i need it

Pulled out the old CRT and the results are disappointing Min 56ms Avg 57ms Max 60ms

I don't like the sparkle/grain that heavy AG brings. I have a glossy monitor, as well as a monitor with heavy AG, and prefer to deal with reflections. There aren't a lot of good (or affordable) glossy monitors on the market so the level of AG coating a monitor has is important to me...

Check it out in person if you can. $300 sounds like it has some serious problem(s)

/tinybitjealous I only have one but I love it. I am longing for more real estate sans bezels though. If it was 1920x1200 it would be perfect for me.

Definitely get it replaced if it's under warranty. My 'stain' has become less obvious but it's still there.

My XFX 6950 flashed to Sapphire 6970 had no problems running the Cinema Display I tested out (including bios post) so I don't expect you'll have any problems. I didn't test the webcam on the CD but the mic was poor quality compared to what I have ($10 from Walmart). It picked up a lot of...

Good choice going with the IPS Don't mind NCX - lots of people love their U2410

The fuzziness in both pictures looks like the result of jpg compression. Top is level 12 (high quality, largest file size), then 6, 3, and 0 (worst quality, lowest file size). If you save the pic and zoom in you can really see how compression affects the image quality.

Definitely sounds like it. Vertical lines of pixels being dead/stuck is a pretty common problem, as far as problems go. Call Dell and get the ball rolling on an RMA.

I don't mind matte with a very light anti-glare coating, but I prefer glossy. I have a glossy display now and I really notice the graininess that AG brings since I've gotten used to it not being there. Colors also seem to really pop on the glossy while still looking natural. My room is dimly...

Looks like there are a few switches out there. This one even allows you to switch the USB connection to the monitor between computers.

I was just joining in on the speculation about which panel, if not a unique one, is used in the display. I should have been clearer in my post.
