    Just Ordered My Westinghouse L2410NM!!

    I own 2 of these monitors, and never had a blackout. My only annoyance is that the screen goes blue when there's no video signal through HDMI, so I turn them off. I wouldn't call them the highest build quality ones around, as they sometimes have a buzz to them, but they've suited their...

    Final Decision: LG L246WP vs. Westinghouse L2410NM

    All I can say is I have 2 Westy's and I'm ok with them. I bought them for $330 each, so I justified any flaw with their pricetag. I was primarily looking for real estate to work with. I also own a NEC 20WGX2 when I need quality viewing. They serve their purpose well and were much cheaper than...

    Dvi Vs VGA lol

    I bought an optical cable from radio shack. I then had to bring in my receiver for repairs as it was not taking the signal. Turns out, radio shack gave me a poor quality cable. The repair place gave me a quality cable, and voila! I will never buy a cable from Radio Shack again. (I'm sure this...

    DVI-HDMI Cables

    The thicker the cable the better. Now when I say this, that does not mean that the image quality will be better with a digital signal. With digital, you either get the signal or you don't. But with a lower resistance (thicker cable), your CHANCES of signal degration are less than with a thinner...

    Would you go a pair of 24" monitors or a single 30"?

    I currently have 2x 24" ...and 1x 20" LCD screens. (the 24" for the real estate, but the 20" for better color accuracy S-IPS panel.) If money was no object, I'd pick dual 30" displays. :P ...and then maybe a 37" Sharp Aquaos For the video work I do, 2 displays min is preferable. I have...

    I remember way back when viewsonic was the top dog...

    Now that I think about it, that is surprising. Armed with the knowledge that a good portion of people, when all products are equal, will typically stick with the same brand name all their other components are - one would think Sony would be pushing an LCD geared for use with their Playstation 3...

    Why HDMI?

    My theory is that the manufacturers are feeling pressure or incentives from production studios to push HDMI, because of DRM, although I don't see why DRM couldn't be enforced on DVI as well.

    Bought a non-HDCP: Bad move on my part?

    I'm no expert, but as far as I understand it, they can only enforce the copy/view-protection over HDMI. That's one of the reasons why some home theater enthusiasts choose to use component and separate digital sound over HDMI - future proofing their pirated wares, lol. Maybe newer hardware...

    Q6600 tips

    If you're going with a 64-bit OS and your primary use is AutoCAD 2008, you may want to looking into getting 8GB instead of 4GB considering the extremely cheap price of RAM right now. (useless for a 32bit OS) I'm not familiar with AutoCAD, but I'm guessing you are. Applications like that may...

    Problem with LCD Monitors - Screen has no protection like the old CRT

    Maybe you can jury-rig something up with a piece of glass mounted to the monitor via velcro or something. I know they used to sell "tinted glass/anti-glare" filters for CRT's. Maybe they still sell them, and in that size? If not, maybe a custom made one? I understand what some people are...

    Monitor buzzing/whining common?

    I have 2 of the same Westinghouse 24" monitors, and they both are set at 100% brightness for that exact reason - friggen noise when turned lower. My 20" NEC is just fine at any setting. I just assumed you get what you pay for....although I had more CRT's that whined at times than...

    Is there any way to repair the screen of an LCD?

    I do not know and am only guessing here: there is a clear liquid that hardens that bodyshop places use to fix cracks in windows. I imagine some sort of thing like that might work. Perhaps there is something similar at craft shops for repairing chipped glass?

    dvi->hdmi troubles with my new westy 24"

    Have you tried connecting through the VGA connector? (That's what I'm currently doing).

    I see so many positive remarks about BenQ LCD<more>

    Best Buy has or had some 24" BenQ's in Canada. Can't remember which versions (there's like 3 or so - make sure you get the right one. I believe the plain ol' "W" version - the original one, is considered the best). Generally, no - the graphics on the 22" will not be as good as the 24". I...
