    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    I figured this much. I'm in the same boat when it comes to shopping for an hdtv. I want something bigger, but I will most likely be let down coming from a Kuro. It's sad that in 2015 "every other monitor" will leave me disappointed. The AMH A409u is a Korean 40" VA panel that has positive...

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    Can somebody recommend me, as a 2421 owner, a larger display with VA-like contrast? I love this monitor but the size isn't cutting it any more. I have my steam account loaded with games and I don't want to use an hdtv. I have a 9G Kuro and that is dedicated to film. The idea of PC gaming...

    Philips BDM4065UC - 40" 4K 60Hz monitor thread

    I just started looking into other monitors, as there's nothing wrong with mine but I just prefer something bigger. I've been gaming on my big hdtv all these years with consoles, but I really want to start taking advantage of the games I have on steam with a bigger pc monitor (for those superior...

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    Im with ya MonarchX. This is in fact why ordered it NOW because I don't want to let this gaming beast slip by. Mine was delivered today, but I've had such a busy schedule that I won't be able to open it until tomorrow. I will update here with my initial impressions with some pics in games...

    Best Gaming Monitor?

    I'm with ya Bluesun311. Just ordered an FG2421 from B&H. Got sick and tired of playing the TN/IPS game. I'm at the point now where I'm willing to live with quirks such as crosshatching and slight coloring on the side just to get inky blacks for some solid gaming.

    Benq XL2420Z & XL2720Z Impressions

    You've sold me on the Eizo. I'm a sucker for having deep blacks and if that means trading off minute details then so be it. I take it you had a positive experience with B&H? Unless there's anything in the pipeline this year better then I'm pulling the trigger. The Benq G series sounds...

    Benq XL2420Z & XL2720Z Impressions

    To be clear.. are you saying your Benq Z is crisper than the fg2421 or just in general? As I mentioned before the other deal breaker for me is having a matte screen which is too grainy. I like AG coating as long as it isn't aggresive. I've read a few user comments regarding the AG coating on...

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    Forgive me if this was asked but is there a way to tell outside the box if it's made in Japan and/or mnf date? What's the likelyhood of getting an older/original build if I order from B&H?

    Benq XL2420Z & XL2720Z Impressions

    Also bluesun311.. you said the colors are bad. I read the review at TFT on this particular panel and supposedly with Standard mode selected the colors should be near accuract. I have to accept this since I don't have a calibration tool, but really as long as it's close then I'm okay. Is it...

    Benq XL2420Z & XL2720Z Impressions

    I can live with limited viewing angles and 'not so perfect' colors, but I must have deep blacks. So it's good to know that you feel good about the blacks on your XL2720T. I'm curious if someone could tell me that's had both the Eizo fg2421 and either a Benq T or Z series to let me know how...

    Benq XL2420Z & XL2720Z Impressions

    Yes it's frustrating finding that dream monitor. I have my Pioneer Kuro 9.5G hooked up to my gaming rig and the picture is out of this world.. but not ideal due to size and lag. If they made a 24-27" Kuro I'd pay several grand for it. That's good to hear about the FG2421 having a nice...

    Benq XL2420Z & XL2720Z Impressions

    Grainy matte? You see this is what scares me. I really want to pull the plug on either this or the Eizo fg2421 but I just don't like matte screens. I can deal with semi-gloss since my Asus now has it but it's still very clear.. like a clear matte. Not a grain in sight. If I detect grain...

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    I'm curious if the AG coating on the Eizo 2421 isn't grainy. I absolutely hate grainy coatings and prefer glossy screens.. it helps (me) with total immersion factor during gaming. My current Asus has a semi-matte coating but it's not bad. Text and graphics are still shiny (about 70% glossy)...

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    What I want to know is when the 27" is coming out? I've been using an Asus 27" all these years and would be painful to downsize. Must be others in this position really wanting a killer VA 27"! The flaws mentioned in this thead don't scare me.. it's like what other choice do we have? I will...

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    Can the anti-glare coating on this particular model be removed? I like my panels glossy so that would be the first thing I would do assuming it's easy enough to remove. Also curious about this cross-hatching problem. Is this like a screen door effect that I can sometimes see on Asus models...

    24" Widescreen CRT (FW900) From Ebay arrived,Comments.

    Well the focus is getting screwy and having static pops on my now 3rd FW900. I've had a helluva ride with these babies. I'm now debating on going with the new Panasonic plasma model 42ST30. I wish plasmas came in smaller sizes, so I think this is the smallest 1080p plasma for this year...

    24" Widescreen CRT (FW900) From Ebay arrived,Comments.

    I have two FW900s and I'm having the same problem with both of them. The screen moves from time to time. Like when I turn it on, within 30 minutes the whole screen will jump an inch or so to the left (or right). So I have to go in settings and adjust the picture back to the center. It'll do...

    120Hz LCD Info Thread

    I just got back from BB looking at an LG W2340V. This is the current 23" 60hz lcd. I thought it had a very impressive picture, and this is coming from a Sony 24" FW900 user. The fact that it had the glossy screen made it that much more appealing to me. I do most of my gaming at night so I...

    How to Activate Hardware PhysX to play with an ATI Video Card

    120Hz LCD Info Thread

    It's interesting because both of my FW900's crapped out on me and my fav game is also Quake 3. Both of my FW900's served me well for years but the focus started going bad, followed by the geometry on both. I was constantly fiddling with the geometry trying to get it centered and dealing...

    120Hz LCD Info Thread

    I was in your shoes before I picked up the Samsung 2233RZ. In fact, I came from using a Sony 24" FW900 (hell of a gaming monitor) for years to this. I've always elected to go with glossy displays. That's why my Samsung 46" LED hdtv has spoiled me rotten with gaming and blu-rays. The gloss...

    Anyone own a Samsung 32B6000? I do and have questions.

    Firstly, this is an amazing tv. I added the 32B6000 LED display to my arsenal, along with my Pioneer 5020 plasma and Samsung 46A950 (both great tvs). I find that PC use is acceptable on it, but do have some questions... How do I turn off the tv processing? I'm using hdmi input 1 and was...

    Samsung 32" 1080p 120Hz LED HDTV UN32B6000 as a monitor?

    I'd really like to know this as well. I have a Samsung 46A950, which is a local dimming set that many consider the best. But would like to know if I'll be taking a step backwards with the 32B6000? I would use it for pc/ps3/etc everything. I'm guessing the picture would be sharper, but...

    24" Widescreen CRT (FW900) From Ebay arrived,Comments.

    Just curious about what what settings folks are using for this display. Contrast, brightness, color, etc I just want to get a rough idea. I'm currently using a standard vga cable. Is this best or should I use the other cable, if so what do you recommend?

    Do any of the new 23-24" LED monitors come with glossy screens?

    Specifically the Samsung XL2370 and LG W2486L. I was hoping that one of these won't have a matte screen. If not, are there any other LED's on the horizon with flossy glossy screens?

    Well it looks as if I haven't given up on this monitor yet. I was initially going with this monitor until I decided on either keeping my sony 34xbr960 or getting the westinghouse 37w3 1080p lcd. Now that I've seen the 37w3 at Tweeter (and even calibrated), it handles sdtv very poorly and the...
