    HP ZR24w

    TMcK, thanks for your very hard, unappreciated work, and what a downer! That is clearly a major oversight/design flaw that HP should not have allowed to happen. Could I just verify one more question? Does this lack of proper 1:1 pixel mapping occur universally, or only with external HDMI...

    HP ZR24w

    I too would love to know the answer to this question. I'm sorry I haven't kept up with this thread, but I'm still considering buying this monitor. Do I remember correctly that when people try to display a source recorded in 16:9 aspect ratio, such as a Pixar movie, that the image gets...

    Eyefinity Update

    Commander Fat, I noticed the same thing, but I only think that is the case because he set his center (and side) monitors up in "portrait mode". That only gives 1200 pixels of width, where normally there would be 1920 pixels available. I can't test this because I dont' have an eyefinity setup...

    DoubleSight DS-265W Official discussion!

    1:1 pixel mapping capability in a monitor means that the monitor will only display the exact resolution that is sent from the video card and center it on the screen. For example, if you have your video card resolution set to 800 x 600 the monitor will show a small, 4:3 aspect ratio desktop...

    Gateway FHD2400

    I can't say that I truly know the cause of back light bleeding, but the last thing I'd suspect are cracks. If that were the case, replacing the panel should easily fix it. Plus causing cracks would have to take some serious abuse, like dropping the monitor. I've always assumed that backlight...

    Gateway FHD2400

    drewdaak, that's a horible story, but one that I can totally believe. I haven't dealt with Gateway's warranty service yet, but have had similar, unbelievably stupid encounters when trying to replace defective Xbox 360 controllers and a defective Rock Band 2 wireless guitar. It's truly amazing...

    Gateway FHD2400 Input Lag

    This monitor may be in the process of being discontinued, since Gateway has released the FHD2401 with fewer (not newer) features. But I managed to buy one at Best Buy last week and just finished doing some input lag measurements against my ViewSonic PT813 CRT. The results are quite good so I...

    Thank you so much. That worked perfectly.

    Need Help With Input Lag Test

    I would like to test the input lag of my LCD against my CRT. I downloaded the input lag timer, but I can't find an option anywhere to set my video card in "clone" mode. Is this option only available with nVidia cards? I have an ATI Radeon. I can "extend" my desktop across both screens, but...

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    I contacted HP about the two separate part numbers. The customer service gal was "fairly certain" there was no difference between the two. I felt "fairly relieved."

    Gateway FHD 2401

    Those two links are for the exact same monitor model. One is listed as "Open Box" Refurbished and the other just Refurbished. I don't think it makes any difference between the two. Both of them have been opened and then returned by an unsatisfied customer. Whether or not any actual...

    LCD Pixel Question

    I just bought my first LCD computer monitor. It has a TN panel. It had one stuck red subpixel that I couldn't massage, tap or software exercise away. So I exchanged it at Best Buy. The new monitor also has one very subtle defect. The color is not red, blue, green or white. It may be black...

    Gateway FHD 2401

    I knew about the refurbished one. I don't think you can find a new one. But I'm really interested in learning if anything was actually improved on the FHD 2401. So far I'm skeptical.

    Gateway FHD 2401

    I was pretty much all set to buy the Gateway FHD 2400, but now it doesn't seem to be available anywhere. I even tried calling several Gateway numbers and no one even knows if it has been discontinued or not. I know it had some back light bleeding problems, but I loved the height adjustable...
