    Really confused about Buying a task chair, so many weired choices

    From a quick glance, it looks like there isn't enough padding...is the chair stiff to sit on? I'm really confused about the headrest. It appears useful when sitting straight and doing work, but judging from the forward position of the headrest, it looks like it'll be uncomfortable to lean...

    Really confused about Buying a task chair, so many weired choices

    When I started computing (90s), there used to be just a standard computer chair that everybody had and i had been using that all along. Now that I'm getting a bit old, I think those chairs have started taking their toll on my back and bottom. So I started searching for a decent ergonomic chair...

    Samsung SA850 on PLS - the first review has been published (preproduction unit)

    I'd strongly recommend you guys to look for a used NEC 2690WUXi (first version with A-TW). Even if you get the backlight bleeding fixed on Samsung, the IPS glow is still going to be there, which I found to be quite intrusive. Get a 2690...you'll thank me later :)

    Samsung SA850 on PLS - the first review has been published (preproduction unit)

    I didn't buy from newegg because of their return policy, buy.com is better IMHO. When I was doing research, I was told by a guy that he had his fixed by samsung and has no backlight bleed whatsoever now. So I'd recommend contacting samsung first and see how they handle it, otherwise just return it.

    List of Monitors with A-TW Filter?

    I honestly can't say anything about U2412, but from all the research I've done, Dell monitors seem to have more aggresive coatings. I guess someone who has NEC 2490 and a Dell monitor can give a better comparison of the two. FWIW, I don't see any sparkling effect on my monitor, nor find the AG...

    List of Monitors with A-TW Filter?

    Liking something tends to be very subjective, so you have to ask yourself what is an "ideal" monitor for you. To me LED backlight, thinness, refresh rate, weight, power consumption aren't even secondary factors that I looked at. What I wanted primarily was a monitor that will have no backlight...

    Probably, because people have been asking him too many questions so he deciced to take advantage of it.

    List of Monitors with A-TW Filter?

    if you're slight bit technical (hey, you are on 'hard forum' right)...you should be able to take it out rather easily. Just don't rush it, or you'll end up scratching or pitting the panel and then have to live it. The whole procedure took me about an hour and a half, so it's not really that bad...

    List of Monitors with A-TW Filter?

    Fundamentally no, The only difference is that on the touchscreen ones, 'One World Touch' has added a touchscreen on top of the panel. The touchscreen is basically a piece of 3/8" glass and it does affect the image quality and screen reflection. I would strongly recommend anyone to remove it - if...

    List of Monitors with A-TW Filter?

    I was very methodical when removing the touchscreen, still couldn't take it off without any damage to the touchscreen interface cable. The hair-thin wires connected to it are glued because of the rubber seal and they will get damaged if you try to separate glass/touchscreen from the panel. After...

    24" CCFL LCD display on Glass-top ok?

    I've just got the NEC 2490WUXi and I'm not sure if I should go ahead and put it on my glass desk top. The monitor weighs 30lbs and when I lift it, it feels properly heavy. I'm wondering if it's ok to place it on my desktop, which has 0.8cm (0.314inch) tempered glass? I've been searching online...

    List of Monitors with A-TW Filter?

    Just got my touchscreen monitor as well. WOW...this thing blows Samsung S24A850DW into dust! The backlight is so uniform, it's unbelievable. You can tell these people have really thought everything out, when you can choose the color and brightness of power LED :eek: One thing though, I tried...
