    WQHD with good scaler?

    Does the 96Hz overdrive matter if Im never going to drive it past 60 (console games only...)?

    WQHD with good scaler?

    Thanks for the recommendations...Ill check those out. How about the Dell Ultrasharp U2713HM? Seems like the reviews were good when it came out, but its already 2 years old...

    WQHD with good scaler?

    Im looking for a display that can serve two distinct purposes 1. Software development 2. Console gaming (latest gen) For the first, I need lots of pixels (=real estate), for the second, I need decent 1080p input performance. Do any 27" WQHD monitors do a decent job of scaling a native...

    BenQ G2400W

    How does this display handle the darker shade of the spectrum? I have the Westinghouse 24" MVA model, and while its sharp as a tack and has great viewing angles, the black crush is terrible. Since Im using an XBOX 360 to drive it, I have no control over the gamma. Dark games that lack in-game...

    BenQ V2400W LCD Monitor

    I apologize if Im asking a question thats already been answered, but does anybody know if this is the same panel/scaler as the G2400WD but in a different package?

    BenQ G2400W

    It seems some people are using this display with an XBOX 360 via VGA (d-sub). How is the black crush? Can you run in "expanded" mode and still see dark details? Im using a Westinghouse 24" display for this purpose, and the black crush is awful...any thoughts?

    Best 24" for Xbox360 use via VGA

    Recently I've had to pull the XBOX 360 from the plasma TV in my living room back to home office, away from the prying eyes of the girlfriend. Anyway, I need a 24" LCD recommendation for this purpose. Im planning on using Microsoft's VGA cable to connect to the display (I have a pre-HDMI 360)...

    BenQ G2400W

    having terrible problems with black crush when using my XBOX360 on my current display. Does the G2400D have a gamma control when using the vga input?

    MVA black crush

    Getting some different info here...anyone want to be the tie breaker? "The typical *VA black-crush refers to the blacks looking darker in the center region of the monitor due to the viewing angle, darks getting brighter when seen at an angle." OR... "Loss of dark shadow details is a...

    MVA black crush

    the effect Im describing seems more like a gamma problem....every variation of dark dray is crushed to solid black. All shadow details are lost...tends to make everything look crappy. You can crank the brightness way up, but then you end up washing everything out. Perhaps if this display had...

    MVA black crush

    I recently purchased the 24" Westinghouse L2410NM for PC and XBOX 360 use, and while it looks fine for the PC over DVI, the 360 over VGA gets black crushed to death. I've since read that this problem is typical of MVA panels (esp on this Westinghouse). What panel technologies do not exhibit...

    DoubleSight DS-263N - 26"

    Ive been trying to find a display I can use for both PC work (via DVI) and an XBOX 360 (via DSUB). My biggest complaint with my current monitor (Westy L2410NM) is the horrible black crush...all dark details in 360 games are completely crushed to black. I've read that this issue is a typical...

    L2410NM crushing blacks...what doesnt?

    I shouldnt have to set the XBOX to "standard" black levels. If you do that, it sets black to IRE 7.5, which is correct for a video input but wrong for vga. Essentially you are shifting the value of black from zero to something like 16. You can see this if you have the xbox output to a 16:9...

    L2410NM crushing blacks...what doesnt?

    I recently bought a L2410NM as a dual purpose xbox 360/PC display. It works well enough for the PC stuff (just desktop apps), but Im finding it pretty unusable in 360 games with dark scenes, as the grays crush to blacks pretty horribly. Is there a 24" display that would be suitable for my...

    Just Ordered My Westinghouse L2410NM!!

    Im using my westy as a PC display and also as a display for the Xbox 360 via the VGA port. The PC looks fine (just desktop apps) but Im having problems with the 360. Im finding that while bright games/scenes look good, games that are dark are horribly crushed to black. I cannot seem to...
