I just bought an external hard drive for backups and whatnot. It has a nice fast esata connector, and my motherboard happens to have a port for it. In order to use the esata port though, I had to enable the Marvell raid controller on my motherboard, which I had disabled previously. My main hard...

If this monitor is an IPS with low input lag, I may have to ditch my DS-265w...

Hmm I may sell my DS to get the apple 24" LED backlight display coming out next month, if it is IPS...

Overall I would definitely recommend not buying this monitor (and I probably won't ever buy a DS product again). That being said, my monitor has no dead pixels and the colors/image quality of the panel itself is awesome, so I am reluctantly satisfied. For those of you that bought this...

I'm trying to tell if mine has the polarizer. I have a greenish glow in the corners when looking straight on (on a black background, on a normal background the corners seem slightly brighter). But I do not see any white glow or red glow when looking at the screen from a very wide angle. :confused:

1) I'm guessing it is some sort of overdrive artifact but yesterday I was looking for it but didn't see it all night. I don't think it is related to warming up/being warmed up. Even when it is there the effect is so minor it doesn't bother me at all. 2) The brightness is a black level...

Hmm, I just noticed a possible problem with my monitor. I don't know if it is the video drivers or the monitor itself yet. The very top row of pixels have a moving/flickering artifact whenever there is a dark to light color gradient. It looks like a light spike coming out of the light color...

It does not. If you use a 16x9 resolution, it will be squished into a 4:3 aspect ratio with black bars on the sides but not top & bottom.

I just got the monitor last night, here are my first observations: -The case/bezel/stand aren't nearly as ugly as they look in the pictures, it looks pretty nice. However, the glossy bezel is slightly annoying as it reflects a little bit of the picture along the edges. -No stuck pixels...

I just said screw it and ordered one today after trying to get a Planar from CDW (they were backordered for a month). /crosses fingers and hopes for no dead pixels :)

US. The CSR said that they had a total of like 8 orders in the US, that I was 3rd in line, and that they had an order of 15 from the distributor but that they hadn't shipped and the order kept getting pushed back. Check your order status on the CDW web page, see if it got moved back, or just...

Wow, CDW is a load of crap. Every day they pushed back the estimated ship date by a day, then it went back to being tomorrow, now I just checked it and the ship date is October 25th. I'm never ordering anything from them again, that is just shady. They went from telling me it was shipping the...

Actually for me it was even worse. I ordered the monitor, and then when a CSR called me to confirm my order (for CC authorization I guess), he said it was in stock and would be shipping that day. When I called the next day and mentioned this, the second CSR said something about "well maybe we...

I just ordered this monitor from CDW, it was $820 same as newegg, but they charge sales tax on top of that. When I ordered it they said it was in stock, but the next day when I checked the order status it said it was backordered until next Tuesday. Also, it is no longer in stock at...
