I found a set of AV40s on craigslist for $100 so I picked those up. I think I'll probably be happy with my purchase based on all the glowing reviews on the net.

Turns out I can't get that $120 price unless I order 10 pairs. So they will be $140 unless I can find someone selling a used set.

I'm sorry if this has been covered before.. I've searched and have been reading up on these two speaker systems, and I can't decide what to get. Both have great reviews, and I'm on the fence. I can get the M-Audio AV40 for $140 shipped Or I can spend (alot) less and get the Gigaworks...

This is the wall mount I'm using with my Soyo. http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=108&cp_id=10828&cs_id=1082802&p_id=3323&seq=1&format=2 Only about $20 shipped and it does a good job of supporting this lightweight monitor. It's not the highest quality mount, but it does...

Maybe I just need to take this one back and try another. I hate to do that because this one has 0 bad pixels. Guess I'll take a chance.... problem is them having one in stock after yesterday's sale.

I notice it in those screenshots above of the games... there's no detail in the blacks... for example the gun in TF2 should have alot more detail and the guy's sweater and hat in HL2. It could be the camera, but this is exactly what I notice on my monitor.

These images are taken from the great LCD test site: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ Can someone look at these and tell me if they can get all 5 top black squares visible under the first image (Contrast/dark level test) while AT THE SAME TIME getting all 4 bottom white images visible under the...

If you have an ATI card, you need to open Catalyst Control Center. If you don't have that, you might need to download it. Open up CCC in advanced mode and you should see an option for overscan. This is the only way I could get my 42tx to fill the entire screen at 1920 res and 60hz...

I too got the Soyo yesterday at Office Max. Coming from my Dell 20.1" 2005fpw, I can say that while this monitor is definitely large, it doesn't hold its own against the dell as far as image quality. I can get the thing calibrated pretty good for desktop and web use, but the blacks and grays...

Alright, so the Acer is a 6-bit and the Soyo is 8-bit. Looks like that might seal the deal for me.

I was wondering if anyone knows what kind of panel this display is? http://www.officedepot.com/textSearch.do?uniqueSearchFlag=true&Ntt=599355 Listed for $279 at Office Depot on Black Friday. I hadn't seen any posts on this particular monitor and that's why I'm asking. I'm trying to decide...
