    Replace LCD options??? Gives me headache!

    I have to say I found this very informative as well, I have been pulling my hair out with my Dell E228WFP trying to find a way to make text more readable and not constantly have a headache but nothing seems to work. Sure enough it uses a TN panel, no wonder it was so cheap, I guess it pays to do...

    4 pin 12v connector in 8 pin boards, and more

    Sort of an odd set of questions here. Recently my old motherboard died so I decided to replace it with an nforce 750i. Nothing inherently wrong with this board, I've just run into a couple odd stumbling blocks that aren't too major. First one is that the 12v cpu power connector on the board...

    Fan not spinning up on boot, but...

    Hello there, I have an Antec Tricool 120mm fan which worked fine for a couple months, and now, for some reason will not spin up when I turn my PC on. If I manually flick the fan with my fingers it will start spinning as normal and continue to do so until I turn the PC off again. When I press...

    Text turning purple while scrolling, HP w1907

    Hello there, I have gotten my hands on an HP w1907 (19" wide lcd, 1440x900), and have noticed that for some reason, when reading black text on a white background, the text is turning purplish as I scroll up or down. It seems it is not limited to just black on white either, as I just noticed that...

    Turning off the Power LED

    Hello there, lately I've noticed that most newer LCD monitors seem to come with an option to tone down or turn off the power LED entirely. Personally I like this feature (for example, on the nec90gx2) and have noticed that the samsung 931c does not appear to have it. Since dvi connections...

    Got a Nec 20WMGX2-BK and love it

    Anyone know where to find this monitor in Canada? Future Shop doesn't seem to carry it, mind you, the Future Shop I go to really isn't very well organized in the monitor area anyway... I just need to see what this thing looks like in person before I pull the trigger (which means I can't just...

    New NEC 20WMGX2!!! (Pics inside 56K)

    I'd love to hear what people think about the readability of text on this one, it "sounds" great, but I haven't been able to lay my eyes on it personally and would love to hear what you think about web browsing, text files, stuff like that. I'm already pretty convinced it's good for gaming, as...

    Ebay scams?

    I'd say as long as you can use a payment method like paypal you're safe, but as soon as you start playing by the seller's own rules you risk getting ripped off, bigtime. Although... I would think ebay wouldn't tolerate that kind of "email me at this address or the bid is cancelled" type of...

    Are LCD'S soppose to be so grainy ?

    I'm probably going to be giving the nec a look based on what I've been reading... I have a feeling I'll be the kind of person who likes the glossiness/smooth look. I just can't believe how much easier it is for me to read text off my trusty 17" crt compared to the lg204wt.

    LG L204WT: 5ms and 2000:1 contrast

    Well mine lasted longer than some other lcds I've attempted to like, but it's number was up after I went to bed with a headache for the 3rd day in a row. These things are a complete drag to return as well since as already mentioned by some people, it's completely impossible to get the stand off...

    What E-mail Client do you use?

    All about the Outlook 2003 here, home & work, really isn't much to dislike about that program.

    LG L204WT: 5ms and 2000:1 contrast

    For the life of me I can't seem to get used to reading text on this thing, my eyes seem to be able to pick out the pixels that each letter is made up of and I've actaully gotten quite frustrated with it. Widescreen gaming is spectacular and all but I spend almost as much time gaming as I do...

    LG L204WT: 5ms and 2000:1 contrast

    If you look at it from the back (I know, it's weird...) the adjustment buttons on the right side are labelled in a secondary way... source, auto-adjust, etc. I believe the "arrow" button, 2nd from the bottom is the one.

    LG L204WT: 5ms and 2000:1 contrast

    Picked this one up a couple nights ago at Futureshop, so far I think this is the first lcd I'm likely to keep (helps that the price of $369 cdn was quite reasonable imo), I've bought 3 other lcds in the past and always ended up crawling back to my 17" crt rather quickly (I just couldn't seem to...
