Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Nice article!
I have a SeaSonic S12-600 from 2006 or 2007 (can't remember :D). I've used it through a number of builds, all overclocked. I replaced it with a beQuiet! Straight Power E10 600W couple of weeks ago not because of performance problems but because it was too loud. It was never too...
For proper calibration you need hardware, you can do only so much using test pictures. Some other user's settings may or may not be a match for your panel (not all panels are the same).
Brightness and Contrast will probably be useful but color channel data can vary a bit. E.g. 10e's panel...
I had a P-MVA panel (8bit) before getting U2412m (6+2bit)and I can tell you that the later has much nicer colors. I'm not noticing any dithering in normal, daily usage. I'm not sure how it compares to 2408WFP directly but I would be more concerned about the IPS glow or AG coating. See my thread...
Why are you so shocked about Dell? They've been in TFT business for quite some time...
Regarding response times and 24" - if you don't want to go TN I suggest Dell U2412m (e-IPS panel). I recently got mine and am quite pleased with it for gaming. Check the u2412m thread for more details.
NCX, thanks for the advice. I tried finding a S24A650D to look at before purchasing but it was a bit hard to find and in the end I found a good deal on Dell U2412M and went for it instead.
So to answer my own questions, a modern e-IPS panel Dell U2412M vs. an old-timer P-MVA Belinea 10 20 35W...
Hi!
New member of the club here. Just bought my U2412M yesterday, so my first impressions are still very fresh but still wanted to share them.
I really LIKE it! It's got nice colours and it's big (compared to my old 20" P-MVA ).
For a small premium the shop offered a guaranteed no-dead-pixel...
Yes I've read some things about that coating problem but never quite experienced it. Guess it's time to hit the shops and trust my eyes. Just have to find one, which isn't hyper-illuminated.
