You're pretty much on the same step I am, deciding between the same exact two monitors. I made a post a little bit ago ( http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1368380 ) and I still haven't made a decision yet. I was told that the LG was a little bit better for gaming but I'm not sure...

Ah, thank you. I didn't think this was quite the right section but I didn't see that other one so I thought this was the next best thing.

I guess I could. I just don't like splitting partitions and would rather keep it as one. My main problem was that I didn't know how to access that unused memory or tell if it was there at all, but that's taken care of so.

I checked the Disk Management. I can see the 800 some gigabytes of unused space. Also, the "partition cap" scenario was clarified to me a little better by someone else. I wasn't explaining it quite right. It has to do with the version of the CD you use to install the operating system. The...

The 2253BW was actually the other monitor I was looking at. I'm going to have to return to Best Buy and check them out first hand again to compare before I finally decide which one to order. I might go with the LG anyway, but I'll scrap it just because of the glare if it bothers me too much. I...

Hey there, thanks for the advice. I've already updated to SP3, I did so shortly after I booted it up. I think I do remember seeing a jumper on there but I've never heard of a "Limiting Jumper" and it was a SATA drive so I didn't pay much attention to it. I'm only familiar with the...

Maybe I just have a quality CRT, but I'm upgrading from a Veiwsonic and though it has some glare, I can certainly say it has visibly less than that LG. Who knows, maybe after I set it up and play for awhile it will just drift to the back of my mind and get filtered, but right now it jumps out...

Out of curiosity, am I the only one who has complaint about the glare on the LG L227WTG-PF? I was looking at it the other day in Best Buy while still deciding whether or not to buy it, and the glare really turned me off after seeing how much better Samsung is in that regard.

I'm getting a new monitor soon myself and I was looking at the LG L227WTG-PF over a Samsung that was almost as good. However, last Friday I was in Best Buy purchasing a Hard Drive and I noticed the LG and Samsung on display right next to each other. Be aware, the LG has a massive glare...

Hopefully I'm in the right place. Last Friday I bought a new, 1tb internal Hard Drive (Seagate). I hooked it up, fired out XP professional 32bit and installed the OS. I created a new partition with the default size that they gave me (which from my experience is the maximum HD space, but I...

Hm... I took a look at the LG today while in Best Buy purchasing a new hard drive. The screen is super glarey compared to Samsung displays... it was almost like looking into a mirror. :(

I'll probably just leave it alone for now if that's the case. Maybe I'll change it later when I'm willing to take the risk. After I get a third monitor and bump off my CRT.

Yeah, I know it doesn't come with built in speakers. In fact, I didn't know that had become the default. I'm used to them being separate. Thanks for the help fellas. Does anyone know how to force the LG to 80Hz? Can overclocking it cause any damage or overheating or whatnot?

Haha, yeah I can totally see that. I actually have a friend that works in Best Buy (just got promoted to Geek Squad) who at least knows that kind of basic stuff, so I shouldn't have issues. I might even talk him into buying the monitor at his employee discount. They get a great discount...

That sounds good. Money isn't a big deal at the moment, plus I think I have a $50 card for Best Buy lying around.
