Yes it will run the monitor @ 2560x1600. However if you’re a serious gamer, especially with fps games you may be a little disappointed in its performance @ higher resolutions. In other words, you probably won’t like it much above 1600x1200 depending on the game & eye candy you use...

There is no OSD for the monitor for adjusting color & things like that. The only monitor adjustments are for brightness. You use your display card for adjusting the monitor’s different properties & or calibrate it. As for the question of if you have to calibrate this thing, the answer...

I see. I think that’s the most concise, compact explanation I’ve read on it. Thanks & you’re the only one to reply. I thought I’d killed this thread. It didn’t get any posts for several days after I posted that question. I still love my non-HC though! :D Shemp

I have the spyder2express which is about $65. As I posted earlier, there's not much difference between it & the more expensive spyder offerings - the hardware is the exact same in fact. Don't know anything about the Pantone Huey2 you mention though. Shemp

To all the people that say that the HC is noticeably better looking than the older non-HC I have a question. Were these comparisons made between properly calibrated monitors or just strait out of the box? The reason I ask is because the monitors in the review from Anandtech were...

1. I think there are plenty of games that will run fine at native resolution with that card. You may have to adjust a few detail settings in 1 or 2 games. Gaming at 2560x1600 is fantastic. 2. Only you can really answer that. Can you find a 30” ACD to play with? If not, make a cardboard...

There are several threds on this subject right now here. Just look for anything from the last couple of days about the 3007. Shemp

I was referring to the bonus software as of little or no use to a serious user (they will already have much more advanced apps for what these do.) The express version comes with Adobe Photo Album Starter Edition & the Suite version comes with a program that creates simple, custom printer...

The differences between the Spyder2 Suite & the Spyder2express are slight. The hardware is the exact same. The more expensive offers the choice of adjusting monitor gamma, temperature & a pre-calibration feature. The bonus software is different but both are of little use to most at this stage...

Software alone will not do it 100% correct. You might as well just adjust it with NVIDIA’s adjustment features. After playing with them the monitor might look good to you, & after all, that’s what really matters in many situations. However, if you need or want more accurate...

I agree with you 100%. I didn't mean to give the impression that a simple monitor calibration is all thats needed in situations such as you mentioned. I worked for Adobe Tech Support a few years ago. When a customer called up wanting us to help them with in-depth color management...

Since I have a new non-HC 3007 I was hesitant to respond, but since you’re not getting anything much… I liked the colors on my new 3007 but on a whim bought a Spyder2express & calibrated it. It wasn’t off too far out of the box as far as colors are concerned but the larger difference was...

Some are saying in this forum that the non-HC is no longer available as of today on Dell’s website. If true & you want one I’d definitely call Dell immediately & see if they have any left. As for price differences; I think the lowest I’ve seen around here is around $1455 or so for the HC &...

1. As said, that’s a subjective issue but I think you’ll like it & or get used to it very quickly. I’m a fairly lite gamer using a 7900 GS. I notice no ghosting, blur or input lag. That’s not to say there might not be some - just that I don’t notice it which is...

Thanks. I'll try this. Shemp
