    LCD Monitor Caliberation - banding and grayscale test..quick question..

    Hi, many do and Eizo was even thoughtful enough to include two profiles, one to work with D65 (6500K) + 2.2 Gamma and one for D50 (5000K) & 1.8 (the latter being presumably for MACs). But the "missing link" is the calibration which (theoretically) takes into account not only the Monitor, but...

    LCD Monitor Caliberation - banding and grayscale test..quick question..

    I've no clue what black crush is (but sounds like too high of a black point) and after reading LCD Resource's definition of "banding", then I think the correct word I should have used was "gradation"... Regardless of which word we end up using, the test html page basically creates squares of...

    LCD Monitor Caliberation - banding and grayscale test..quick question..

    On my panels, which are all calibrated with a Spyder2Express: BenQ FP241W (P-MVA) Eizo S2231W (S-PVA) XPS M1330/Toshiba 13" (TN) In a "standard", non-color-aware browser (IE6, IE7), the bands are not visible (unless of course you view the image on the "VA" panels at an acute angle...). With...

    Samsung reveals first ever 22 inch lcd with PVA panel

    Not even the second, considering I'm typing this post on a 22" S-PVA from Eizo (S2231W) which was announced in mid-Nov.... ...but the catch is that the Eizo uses a (...make that "the") Samsung panel... :D I wrote up some notes of my own [short] experience over in the PRAD Forums. The panel...

    Yep, and I picked one up last week & jotted down some notes, along with pics over at PRAD's English forums :)

    Desperate search for blacker black levels.

    I picked one up last week and over all, I'm quite happy with it! And talk about blackest of blacks... :D It has an odd, ah, characteristic that is either associated with the panel itself or Eizo's backlighting, which I like to call FACTOR X... Anyways, I hilighted my observations, along...

    Desperate search for blacker black levels.

    Well you certainly had better luck then me because I tried several times to calibrate my FP241W, each time lowering the brightness level (started at the default value of 100% down to around 30) and the monitor still blinds when displaying white and is more grey than black when viewing black...

    want 20-22" Non-TN

    Hey, did you already make your choice? I already have a 24" for one of my workstations and I've got my eye on the Eizo S2231Wx because I want a smaller unit, a non-TN panel, and I don't want to even think about 1920x1200 for a 22" panel. I would have gone with an "older" 20"-21" panel but...

    AUO's "new" 24" panels

    Hi2all, just noticed that AUO's got two new 24" panels on their list - one's a TN (following Samsung's footsepts, I take it...) and the other's an A-MVA. What's more interesting is the backlighting and gamut specs (for both): 6 U-Type CCFLs, color saturation 92% NTSC I like the wide-gamut...

    BenQ FP241W vs BenQ FP241WZ

    Fair enough. Here's a peace offering. They are complaining that when a 360 is used in 1080p mode and is connected to the FP241W via analog (dSUB / VGA port) and 1:1 is selected, the Xbox's image is letterboxed on all four sides. Since 1080p aka, Full HD is 1920x1080 (16:9), there should only...

    BenQ FP241W vs BenQ FP241WZ

    So how many threads are you going to make on a topic that is already been / being discussed in more well-established threads? Here's another one.

    how to check max. resolution of my VGA card ?

    Ah... I'm assuming the reason for your question is to determine how large (resolution) a monitor will run with your graphics card. Today's cards should be able to digitally drive up to 1920x200x60Hz (= 154MHz bandwidth via a DVI connection) without a problem*. Beyond this rez you need a...
