Thanks for the responses! I've seen good things about G skill memory and was leaning toward that, but since none of their QVL chips matched what I wanted I didn't know if I needed to change up my build or not.

I'm looking to build a new PC using the Asus Z170-A mobo, and I'd like to use 2X8GB memory in it so that I could double the memory later if need be using the remaining two slots (without buying an entire set of 4X8GB memory). However, in the qualified vendor list that starts on page 1-10 of...

Thanks for posting this info. I had "calibrated" mine using my eyes and had brightness(3), contrast(75), and default 6500k colors. Those settings weren't bad, but using yours, the display looks even better.

Is that the kind of thing that can be fixed with a firmware update, or is it a hardware issue?

They ship from wherever they have it. I live in Ohio, and mine shipped from Ilinois. Others have reported having them sent from other parts of the country, and the shipping point has nothing to do with where they were ordered from. Costcentral must have a business presence in CA too since PA and...

Only if you want to use your monitor as a USB hub. I don't have mine hooked up either.

Sorry, I think I asked the question wrong. What are your calibration settings? Brightness, contrast, R, G, B values, etc.?

Can you post your calibration data?

I haven't had a problem with my brightness changing either (and it's set much lower than 45). I have mine connected through the DVI port.

The CRT was running at 60 Hz, but after I was done with the tests, I realized that the HP was running at 59 Hz. That could be the cause of the problem.

Alright. The reason I asked is because it was a PITA to hook up the old monitor and upload the pics and everything. I'll let someone else run the test you linked then.

The HP was not in its native resolution. It was set at 1280x1024 since that's the highest resolution supported by the CRT. I'd have to hook the CRT back up to do the other test. How much more helpful would that other test be?

I ran the input lag utility with my old CRT (on the left) and got this series of pics. I'm guessing that they will mean more to someone else on here than they do to me, as I can't tell if these are good or bad results. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4018/4479775984_3e13ab974d_o.jpg...

I'll try to get to that tomorrow. Also, I went here, http://jasonfarrell.com/misc/deadpixeltest.php, and tested for any dead/stuck pixels. I didn't see any bad pixels or sub-pixels. I'm very happy with this purchase so far. If anyone has any calibration settings they could post, I'd...

To add to the noise testing, I received my monitor today, and I can't hear it over the sound of my computer's fans. It's very quiet. I don't have anything to calibrate the monitor (other than the software on the monitor CD and the color calibration in Windows 7), but I did notice that the red...
