Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Different parts of the eye's anatomy are responsible for color and black and white vision. In brightlight (and when staring at a bright computer screen) our vision is...
I'm also using a 173T Samsung :)
Along with the 2405, I also bought a Spyder2 to calibrate the monitor. I have tried it yet, but the plan is to calibrate both monitors - likely will get to that over the weekend.

The monitor seems to be working fine - running at native 1920 x 1200...
UPDATE: Just checked the website again. The monitor now has a $200 instant rebate along with the $100 mail-in rebate bringing the total price to $1299. Not bad but no where near the $799 price.
Did anyone actually get this price?
I checked it the first night and it said "sold out - no stock". The following morning the website was done. Later that day the website was back up but the $700 instant rebate was gone and the monitor was back to $1499.
It seems this was a mistake on...
I wouldn't bother - I don't think the performance gains are worth the $$$ unless you can find some to pay you top dollar for your 6800 GT.
I'd save the money and put it towards an upgraded motherboard and next generation card (7800 GTX or better) when you are ready to make the jump to PCI-E.
