Hi: I bought one of these SP2309W monitors on sale. I tried it out the first day I had it, then realized that I should have bought a TV for what I wanted to use it for. So I put it aside meaning to return it, but I waited too long and now it is mine for keeps. This monitor is advertised as 2...

I believe glossy is better for my own viewing circumstances. I tend not to use my laptop or monitor with a light behind me. And glossy can work in the sun better. Here's something glossy can do that matte can't. I can turn the backlight off entirely on a glossy laptop, and if it's a bright day...

Impossible to find information on spec sheets. I have cut and pasted the following from the wiki link @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossy_display Manufacturer Brand name Acer CrystalBrite, CineCrystal Acorn Vybrio AG Neovo NeoV Optical Filter Ahtec Glare Alienware ClearView...

ToastyX how is it you were able to hammer in 74.8 hz when I can't seem to get 72?.. I found a modeline that should work but doesn't.

No judder on 24 fps videos. 24x3=72 Also something about how 72 doesn't flicker from light interference or something that 60 and 75 do. (Uncertain.) And slightly smoother video refreshes of course.

It's a strange question I'm asking I know, but here's the thing.. last night I was trying to craft some modelines that would give me 72 hz at native resolution, and I managed to come up with two that fit within the frequency ranges of the monitor, the only wildcard being the pixel clock. But...

It's supposed to let you dim the blue led or turn it off entirely.

Oh, found something just now that made things slightly more comfortable on the old eyes. Change contrast in the OSD from 50% to 46.9%. It's only a single step difference but it seems to mellow out the harshness on text.

Wow.. I was just doing a bunch of calibration and from what I can see, the native WP is actually pretty green after all. So I set it to native, and then used the calibration program to shift it to 6500 and ended up with a pretty white display. What I also notice, is the profile that's in the...

Yeah but I decided if I was getting a new monitor I should get 1920x1080 as that is blu-ray resolution and the native resolution of a number of ps3 games.

IMHO you can't use this mode for anything.. all the modes are useless except Standard, and possibly Dynamic. Load up anything with words on it and you'll see massive oversharpening of text with aliasing in those modes. Hiked contrast, etc. Even photo is a misnomer. Photo mangler more like.

I'm finding the backlight uniformity isn't so bad.. it has settled a bit and by moving my head around I could see that part of the problem was viewing angles. 23" is still a pretty big screen. Bigger than I would have liked, and this is the smallest IPS screen I know of. So today it's not too...

HP still makes glossy TNs.

Hiya. Yeah I'm going to have to get a new calibrator at some point. But now I'm wondering what's going on. I was fiddling around with screensavers and stuff, and now all of a sudden colour managed applications are showing stuff much better. Before they were completely black in the blacks, now...

Hi folks, I have a Spyder2 (cheap I know compared to the fancier devices out there, but I have it..) and a LCD monitor. I'm having a problem with black blacks... I'm experiencing black crush no matter what I do.. I want to be able to have "black" be the colour of the screen when it's...
