    Widescreen vs Regular screen

    It's like voting for 8 1/2" x 11" paper VS 8 1/2" x 14". Which would you rather use? For me, nine times out of ten, I have no use for the extra odd inches. Usually appears as black bars or wasted web site space on the sides of the widescreen display. For watching movies? :rolleyes: That's...

    Anti-glare coating vs. Glossy finish

    I just returned from a short excursion to BB and CC. I saw the HP monitors with glossy finished and decided they're not for me. They had a ripply texture to them. HP had a "Touch Screen PC" with a perfectly smooth glass finish I could live with, though. Sony has the same smooth glass on...

    Dell 1908FP & SP1908FP: 19," 5ms, 800:1, HDCP

    Which would be the best choice between the DELL SP1908FP, the NEC 90GX2-BK, or the Acer AL2223WD? They would all be close in price. I don't game at all, or watch movies on my PC display (that's what my home theater is for). I'm thinking the extra screen real estate (207.36 sq in. VS 173.28)...

    Anti-glare coating vs. Glossy finish

    Just one of the quotes found in my research: ...I own a world class audio and video studio...Since my main use was to be DVD and Film and Video, as well as Photos and graphic design, I ordered another, this time with the Glossy screen. I must admit, i was skeptical about this decision, but...

    Anti-glare coating vs. Glossy finish

    Been doing more research since my post in the SP1908FP topic. I'm kind of wondering how the matte finish got to be so popular in the first place. Anti glare is fine, but it never seemed to bother CRT users much before. I'm currently using a 19" flat aperture grille which causes me no "glare"...

    Dell 1908FP & SP1908FP: 19," 5ms, 800:1, HDCP

    I'm very interested in snagging a Dell Deal, and including that monitor in the configuration. I want a 19" 4x3, but I'm not too sure about the glossy screen part. Anybody comment on glossy screens in general? TIA!

    Thanks, I'll just save my money then. Just ran this PS test, and came up with 2:40 on the Venice. :p (Test image)

    Is it worth upgrading to this CPU from a 3000+ Venice? Used mostly for WoW, and sometimes CS:S. No inclination to OC the thing. Any better bang for the buck CPU upgrade?

    Gateway FPD2485W - 24" HD LCD

    I'm in the middle of testing this monitor, and found one dead pixel (stuck white) 2" up and 4" from the left side. Not sure if it's worth swapping for that. If I get another with dead pixels in other areas, I'll wish I never bothered. This is the first LCD I've ever purchased. Would you...

    Gateway FPD2485W - 24" HD LCD

    Thanks Aquila, I'll download those tests and have 'em ready to go. I could have sworn I read these monitors came with the cable, but the FAQ at Gateway said it wasn't included. I was kicking myself for not throwing one in with the video card order, but I'd have been kicking myself more for...

    Gateway FPD2485W - 24" HD LCD

    "...so, is there anything wrong with this monitor?" No. "Has it been opened?" Nope. "Well then, why are you returning it?" Because this replacement is newer. "Oh, really?" Really! :) I now have an MGQ71 in my possession, and only till the 5th, before it's able to be returned to Best...
