I had the same power supply and was considering the same upgrade to a GTX 285 not too long ago. The Earthwatts was a solid unit for my 8800 GT for about a year, but I figured it was time for an upgrade. Video cards are going to continue to become more power hungry so 500W probably won't cut it...

Picture of my setup with my new G2400WD. Click for larger.

Today I hooked up my new PS3 to the monitor using an HDMI cable from monoprice. I really like the fact that this monitor supports 1:1 pixel mapping, and also how it has an aspect display mode option, which so far I prefer for 720p content. I'm currently using a pair of MDR-V150 (cheap)...

Well, the monitor arrived today. It's a lot bigger than I expected; I'm glad I upgraded from my 20" LCD. I've done some PC gaming and I have noticed no ghosting at all. The colors right out of the box seem very crisp and accurate to me. There was some back-light issues at first but after I let...

The least expensive shipping option for me from ncixus is $30.59, a price at which I can opt for either CanadaPost Xpress USA or FedEx Express Saver USA. I guess that's not an outrageous shipping cost, but I feel more comfortable buying from the manufacturer, as you said, even if the product...

I pulled the trigger on the G2400WD. I saw the price on ncixus, but the price of every shipping option was outrageous. I ended up buying the product from BenQ itself, which provides free shipping from Fedex. It is estimated to arrive on Tuesday. I will give my thoughts and comments.

What is BenQ's dead pixel policy? I did some searching but the answer seems ambiguous.

I'll consider it, thank you. At this point I'm willing to wait a bit for that Newegg <$300 sale to possibly resurface, though. Just to be clear: I need an HDCP-compliant monitor for it to display a Playstation 3, correct? This makes things more expensive and really limits my options, but I...

I've also been looking at the BenQ G2400WD. This seems like a solid monitor for a reasonable price. I noticed that it was on sale for just under $300 at Newegg recently; I was wondering if it is likely to reach that price again any time soon. Thanks.

I'm looking for a display, somewhere in the range of 24-26", on which I can play both PC games and a Playstation 3. So, it would need both a DVI and an HDMI connection. I'm not sure if there is much (if any) difference between 720p and 1080p at that size, but I would like the Playstation 3 games...
