    PROBLEM SOLVED!!! I disconnected the HDMI and connected the PC to my BENQ FP241VW with DVI and now ATI's catalyst control center allows me to bump up the resolution to 1920 x 1200. THANKS!

    DELL Studio Slim (540s) with Radeon HD3450 to push 1920x1200???

    PROBLEM SOLVED!!! I disconnected the HDMI and connected the BenQ FP241VW via DVI and now have full 1920 x 1200. Apparently, when using the HDMI output you can only see up to 1080 horizontal lines. I don't know if that's a config parameter set by DELL or ATI but the HDMI cable is back in...

    DELL Studio Slim (540s) with Radeon HD3450 to push 1920x1200???

    I did try downloading the newest drivers from ATI but it did not work. I did not uninstall the original ATI drivers first, however. Should I perform the operation with this sequence: 1. download new drivers but do not install 2. delete old driver set 3. run crap cleaner 4. restart PC...

    The highly rated HP Pavilion Slimline PC thread

    Looking for a little help here... I just received a Dell Studio Slim earlier this week. It has Vista64, Q6600, 6 GB RAM, 640 GB HDD, Hauppage TV card, Radeon HD 3450 video card. I have it hooked up to my BenQ FP241VW for now via HDMI. The BenQ is capable of 1920 x 1200 of course and offers...

    are you using the following codes: FP241VW50 (this one sometimes appears automatically depending on how you add the display to your cart) the other code I used for free shipping was: freeship10 i've stated it elsewhere but it was the best FREE shipping ever...44 hours was all it took...

    Best 24" Monitor for Gaming

    the other promo code on the FP241VW is FP241VW50 which knocks off $50. It may still be stackable with freeship10. I ordered mine at about 4:30 pm on a Sunday afternoon and it arrived at my house at 1:30 on Tuesday afternoon--not bad for free shipping. :) :) :D :) :)...

    Second monitor for web surfing, itunes, aim, ect.?

    I strongly recommend either an HP LP1965 or a Samsung Syncmaster 943T. Both are fully adjustable 19" and can even be set up in portrait mode which is sometimes nice for web browsing or some of those other secondary tasks that you mentioned. Both have great picture quality (neither one uses...

    BenQ E2200HDA Full HD 16:9

    That's too bad about no 'useful' cables being supplied. My FP241VW was just delivered today (ordered direct from BenQ less than 48 hours ago) and it came with VGA, DVI, and HDMI cables.

    Need a really good gaming LCD

    If you have a costco near you, it is worth checking out the Acer G24...should be pretty good for gaming. I think they were selling through their website for $369 shipped (plus applicable tax of course). Let us know what you decide on.

    Official BenQ FP241VW (not FP241W) Thread. Reviews and Pics

    I took advantage of the sale this weekend with the stackable coupons...FP241VW50 for $50 off and freeship10 for free shipping. I just stopped home on my lunch hour and the FedEx guy had just delivered (the wife signed for it). So it took approximately 44 hours since I placed the order and...

    Crt's extinct

    I could not agree with you more. The FW900 is getting harder and harder to find too. About a year and a half ago, I managed to pick up a 34XBR970 for $549 on closeout. I wish I had bought two. While it is huge and weighs nearly 200 lbs, I love using it for my 360. Unfortunately, the 970...

    Crt's extinct

    i've read that there were some reliability issues with those slimfit tubes. are you referring to the models that samsung offered? a friend of mine had a 27 or 30 inch samsung that was used for xbox 360 only and it began to fail after about 15 months of use
