Oops, copy/paste screw-up there. Should be fixed now.

$249.99 LG IPS231P-B $299.99 Planar PX2710MW What do you guys think? The Planar is huge, has a nice 2ms GTG response time, and has tons of positive reviews on Newegg and Amazon. It is a TN panel though, and some of the reviews bring up concerns about backlight bleed. I expect that's going to...

Not really liking the idea of a refurb... I'm thinking either the LG IPS231 or PLANAR PX2710MW. Any thoughts on these? I can't find any reviews of the LG for some reason...

What's their policy on stuck/dead pixels for refurbs?

Since my HTPC isn't working out so well on my new plasma TV (some image retention, text is hard to read), I'm looking at shifting back to a desk + monitor setup. The question is, which monitor? My price ceiling is $300. I've been searching around for a couple days and found these likely...

The TV is 1080p and the video card is sending 1920x1080. I really doubt it's the TV. This only affects plain text. Notepad, websites, etc are all affected, but text in images, Flash apps, and Adobe AIR apps is not affected.

No, I'm using HDMI. Also my sig is out of date, I'm using a Panasonic Viera plasma now.

After getting a new display I tinkered with the Cleartype setting in Win7 to see if I could make text look better. Even after reverting all of my changes I get some very strange text behavior. At seemingly random intervals, on screen text will gradually become bolder, then gradually fade back...

Can someone with Resident Evil 5 confirm this for me? This update appears to fix the HDR rendering bug in DX10 mode, but now the water is fucked up. The reflections are all warped and distorted, it looks terrible. Did ATI just fix one bug and introduce another in the same damn game? Edit: Just...

If the FOV isn't set correctly for the aspect ratio, I won't touch it. Otherwise, I don't really care as long as there are dedicated servers at least. Fucking console generation is ruining my PC games. </bitteroldnerd>

I got my XFX 5850 XXX (my first ATI/AMD card ever) about a week ago and only had one problem. Catalyst AI was causing Borderlands to lock up, so I turned that crap off. Since then it's been fast and stable. Edit: Well, except for the Resident Evil 5 mega-ugly DX10 HDR glitch, which is...

I just switched from a Geforce 8800GTX to a Radeon 5850 and so far it's running great, but there's one issue I can't resolve: the default contrast and brightness are terrible. Blacks are gray and whites are blown out way too much. I can fix this on the desktop, but apparently not in games. I...

Supply and demand! The cards aren't shipping in large enough numbers to meet demand yet, so the prices are still high. The prices will drop as availability improves.

How does the Bing cashback thing work? Do you have a link to the item that would should the Bing discount/cashback/whatever? As if nVidia drivers don't drive me nuts at times. I recall swapping mine like crazy trying to resolve rampant Fallout 3 crashes.

Yeah, I've been out of the video card loop for a long time and I can see that I've missed some pretty important changes. Thanks a bunch for the suggestions; it definitely looks like ATI is the way to go at the moment. It'll be an interesting experiment if nothing else, as I have never owned an...
