    Middleweight gamer notebook

    I have checked all of the usual suspects but I cannot seem to find a middle weight, 4 - 6 lb, notebook with video worth a dam. Most of them have either the 5200 from nVidia or the 9700 from ATi. Is there a middleweight that is using the 6800 or the X800? Does anyone know of a company with plans...

    Best Dual LCd setup?

    I am running 1 BenQ FP231 and 1 BenQ FP2091 on a Spacearm and I love it. They are two different types of glass so I can use what ever one I think is the best for that particular application. I can also edit video in widescreen and use the 20" for palets. The best part is they have exactly the...

    Best 23" monitor?

    I love reading people spouting off things as if they were God's honest truth. I have worked in the display industry for 10 years with some of the biggest manufacturers and I am here to dispel the mistruths that have been told here. Benq does not equal Acer. Acer has an agreement with Chi Mei...

    Please help NEC lcd and 9600xt problem anyone might be able to help

    If you can save the image to a file then it is neither the card nor the display, just an FYI. What you are seeing is likely an LCD that is out of phase. The pixel clock of the card needs to match the pixel clock of the LCD. When it is out of phase you will see banding like you describe or a...

    Who makes these FPs?

    I would be happy to prove you wrong. Can you be more specific on which part? If you are talking about the origin of the FP2001 then have some one screw the back panel. There you will see it was made by AUO and BenQ. If you are talking about the PC OEMs and display re-branders then all I have to...

    LCD vs. CRT in terms of eye health?

    There are a few studies out there you can google fish for and most of them are biased towards the funder. If it is an LCD company it favors LCDs and if it is a CRT company it favors CRTs. Here is what I know from working in the industry for 10 years. CRTs are addative light. That is the color...

    Who makes these FPs?

    The Dell 2001 is a BenQ product and the glass is AUO (one of BenQ's parent corporations). For what it is worth almost no FP are made in Japan any more. There is Asahi Glass, and NEC-Mitsubishi company that makes some. It is in the LCD2180 from NEC-Mitsubishi and Sanyo-Totori who is making TV...

    Lcd/crt

    You are correct for CRTs but not LCDs. The contention was that CRTs were inherently better than LCDs in frame rates which just isn't true. BTW, LCD frame rates have nothing to do with Hz and everything to do with ms. I have had FPS vs Hz argument many many times in the past with people, just...

    Lcd/crt

    The sample I saw was actually in TV form. They were running a DVHS on it in 1080i. AFAIK it is AUO. It looked fantastic. There was a plasma nearby running the same clip so I was able to compare color saturation, ghosthing and smearing. Unfortunately I was not able to see it using anything but an...

    Lcd/crt

    You are confusing FPS and refresh rates, they are similar in name but different in explanation. Hz as it is known in the display industry is how many times per second that a the electron beam paints the screen. Since there is no electron beam and no painting on an LCD Hz does not translate...

    Lcd/crt

    Are you trolling or are you serious? I have worked in the display industry for over 10 years and I am here to tell you LCDs are far better than CRTs for most applications. LCDs have made huge advancements in color, motion and scaling while continuing to drop in price. In fact I would hazzard a...
