I "won" another one on ebay. Won is in quotes because I keep getting losers. First one had a AR blemish and some scratches on the screen. Invisible while playing xbox, but a major pain in the ass while browsing online and working in Word. The seller refunded me some money so it ended up only...

Thanks guys, thats what I wanted to know. My friends getting a fw900 and he has the option of VGA or DVI to bnc, so I wanted to find out before he bought the cables. I couldn't find the answer in the fw900 thread, must have not popped the right phrase in search.

You know, I was at first disappointed in this monitor because of this. I was playing Oblivion Xbox360 on my Dell P991, and Oblivion doesn't support 4:3 (it stretches 16:9 image) so I had to set my monitor to 1280x720 and squish the picture so it would display a true 720p sized screen, and it...

Or is there any difference at all?

I have a little tearing on my FW900 CRT with xbox 360. But not on my PC. I thought it was due to the Xbox 360's refresh rate. I also get a weird ghosting effect when I spin the camera in a circle really really fast. An object will sort of mirror split. Also only happens with the 360.

Weird that you are having this problem with VGA to VGA. Does it recognize that it is a FW900 (or whatever the HP one is) in the Catalyst drivers and the Windows Hardware manager? If it lists Default Monitor in the Hardware Manager click update driver, then the option that lets you choose from a...

I switched to BNC today and ATI made it a real bitch. I installed the monitor driver from Sony. Tried the one that comes with XP again. Unistalled my ATI drivers. Installed the newest ones. Had to install the monitor drivers over again. And it still says "default monitor" in the Catalyst Control...

You're right it does. I'm glad you pointed that out. Hey Ryle, where were the dings on the one you returned? Could you describe them to me? We bought from the same guy, I'm wondering if I ended up with it. I think this thing has a geometry problem. I can't adjust the top right corner...

What 30 day return policy? SCS guy I bought from was telling me I had 7 days.

Anyone have an answer for me on the powercord? The manual doesn't say. Could I use a 10A 125V powercord, or am I suppose to stick to the 10A 250V SCS shipped with it? I don't know too much about such things, but I figured you only draw 115V from an outlet, so anything over that should be okay...

Isn't it kind of odd that that ap grill wires aren't evenly spaced? Bottom one is 2/3rds up from the bottom, top one is 1/3rd from the top. Hey, does anyone have a link to some test patterns I can use to adjust my picture when connected to Xbox 360? For 720p.

I got mine today. July 02. I ordered from SCS on ebay. I emailed them asking if there was any cosmetic damage or anything before bidding and they replied that there was no damage whatsoever and that it was a Grade A refurb. There are a few nicks on the case, but I don't care about those (still...

Is the windas cable necessary or are you guys just really discriminating? Do CRTs get brighter as the years go on, or is this a case of the settings not being properly set at the factory/refurb-joint?

I don't know, you could always get stuck with a brand new $800+ LCD with 7 dead pixels, input lag, one side of the screen brighter than the other, shitty scaling, component outputs that just don't work and so on and so on. I've had my Dell P991 (Sony Trinitron) since 1999. I've hadn't had a...

The 2407 just went back up to $45 (it was $704). The 2007 might do the same (it'll eventually go back down again though)
