Checked out Samsung T60 No Vesa Mount is possible. Got the Hannspree HF289H, size matters. Had the Hannspree for 3 months and am satisfied though I paid $529 plus tax. No backlight bleeding, no dead or stuck pixels. Clear Fonts and even brightness of colors across the screen. Unlike some...

Good Luck with it. I had mine for for almost 2 months and could not be any happier with my decision as for value. The best thing about this monitor is that the display color is very even across the screen. No Dark Side, something I did not like at all with the LG and Samsungs that I returned. No...

I used MATICS settings suggested by ARKANIAN for my OSD USER settings. It seemed to improve some of my photo backgrounds. I do make changes in the Nvidia Panel, when it comes to brightness. More experimentation will begin. This is all that I want to spend for monitor, and it might as well be a...

Thanks greggie, I did read this whole thread. I missed something. I finally called Hannspree Tech support. The guy was up on this. I connected my cable box which by the way never completely shuts off but makes the screen black with the blue light. I could definitely live with this. Yes, there...

If I can not resolve the Sleep Mode and Power Down issue I will return this monitor to Best Buys. There seems nothing that I can do about this. I am using an Envidia EVGA 8800GT card with the latest driver and I will not change it, because I do not think that it will work and I will be out even...

Seen this Soyo at Microcenter and could not believe the box, nor the sign on the display. What a rippoff! This is a good example of Panel Lottery. The older Soyos were not TN. The viewing angles are as lousy as the worst of the TNs. There should be a lawsuit.

I had the 2693HM $341 BB display model, for a few days and returned it for the dead pixels and uneven screen tones, backlight bleeding. The buttons had no tactile response (very aggravating). The stand was nice however. No weird connection problems. The HF289H may be going back if I can't...

Maximum PC also said that he HF289HJB had a DVI and a HDMI port. Mine has just 2 HDMI, My box says HJB and 289H. Probably the stand. Anyway I wish this Damn thing did have a DVI port. I stayed up all last night screwing with it. My troubles began when I removed the X-Tune software that worked...

Nope.

Yes I have seen it in Microcenter. No big deal with the Acer as it looks cheaper and you can tell by just looking at it that it is just a rebranded Hanns with a chintzy looking version of the case you would have to be looking at. I also don't think that the stand raises. No real savings there...

I hooked the CableVision Scientific Atlanta 4250HD tuner to the 289H on HDMI #2, and it worked well with it at 1080i. (what they give you) I am not sure how well the 289H would keep up with Blueray but it is good enough for the cable company. I use Verizon FIOS for my internet and Phone...

Just been to BB today and picked up the HF289H paid $529 Plus Tax came to $567. Missed the sale last week for $499. Still the best bang for the buck so far, and the last one they had. After reading all the commentary here. I had to check it out even if it looked horrible in Best Buy's setup on...

Already returned it because found one more dead pixels. Thats it for now. Too much bother to look for more dead pixels. Samsung manual says that more pixels do not just go because you found some. Too bad it was a lot of monitor for the price.

Samsung 2693HM for total of $365 with no packaging to rewrap as it was the Display Model. Now that I have had it for a day I have found out a few things. :confused: 1) Backlight bleeding pretty bad especially the right edge. 2) Shimmer on the right side like the white underbelly of a...
