Yeah it's fun and expensive! Because of all this I upgraded my power supply to a 500 watt one, upgraded the graphics card, bought a APC back up battery surge protector, have another 1 GB RAM and a WD Raptor 150GB scratch disk on the way! Plus... Going to attempt to upgrade the 40GB HD in my...

Alright. Seems the remedy was a new graphics card. I went with a Matrox Millennium P690 256mb. Uninstalled ATI control center and the ATI display driver then removed the ATI x1650. Installed Matrox card and then the drivers and all is good. Running HDMI/DVI connection at 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz...

Update: Monitor works beautifully at native resolution of 1920 x 1200 60Hz on my girlfriends desktop Mac. Didn't need a converter after all. Her system accepted the DVI male and immediately recognized the LG by name and displayed it in all its glory. Her system didn't allow for any other...

Hi Clockdogg; I think I misunderstood what type of info. you were asking for. I'm quite familar now with the OSD on the monitor (ha!) and DDC-CI has always been set to "on". I've never turned it off. But I just verified that it is set to "on". Also HDMI is set to "PC". Again, I've never...

OSD indicates "HDMI 1920 x 1080 / 60Hz". So I take that to mean it is doing what it is told to do...draw a 1920 x 1080 screen at 60 Hz while connected via HDMI cable. Contrary to what I posted last night, it appears this resolution also flickers a bit (but very minor by comparison). No black...

Hmmm...I'll have to try a new cable tomorrow. I can also take it to my girlfriends, but she has a mac desktop and according to the LG manual I'll need a converter (not supplied) to hook up to her machine. She is running the 23" Cinema display and it is absolutely beautiful. I would hope her...

Thanks Weenis for confirming that this monitor only goes either 59 or 60Hz while native at 1920 x 1200. I won't fuss with that part any longer. I did figure out how to install the LG drivers. Vista really insisted that their generic drivers were fine and made it hard for me to figure how to...

Thanks Clockdogg, There are three files that came in the zip folder for LG L246WP, one each of a .cat, .icm, .inf. I will read up on the install instructions and not delete the Vista generic drivers. The install instructions are for XP but the drivers are for Vista. I'm sure the install...

First time poster here. Also Non-Gamer here. Last time I played a video game it was Galaga and it cost a quarter at the local liquor store...where every kid should spend his youth… So there...I said it...I know squat about all this monitor/video card/ghosting/zero ms voodoo. Yet I humbly...
