    Samsung BX2400 Photos & Impressions

    did you calibrate it for your client? would love to know some settings. even if its for the 21" version. regarding the base, at least on mine, the 24", it is very stable, can adjust up, down, tilt, and rotate to portrait view, and you can remove it by just unscrewing the screw on the bottom of...

    Recommend a Monitor from Costco

    i went to 2 costcos, guys, they did not have the acer. I would have gotten it for sure. i am aware of the PQ limitations of the LED. however, i felt this was the best overall option and it was only $30 more than the non-LED version. It also comes with a fully adjustable stand that is not...

    Recommend a Monitor from Costco

    Thanks for the helpful review, NCX. I will see if they have it at the B&M store. I am usually apprehensive of acer, as the name has connotations of cheap hardware to me. But if they have it, I think i'll give it a shot!

    Recommend a Monitor from Costco

    Okay, so far I've had a Dell S2309w (1 month), a Samsung p2350 (3months), and an HP 2509m (3 months). I'm going back to Costco tomorrow to return the 2509m. It's been my favorite so far (it's glossy, bright and really vivid, and 2 inches bigger),tho i liked the higher resolution on the...

    Calibration for a 2509m?

    apparently my nvidia card was seeing it as a TV, changing it to a custom res, i realized i had to turn down the contrast to about 80. then i found these settings for hp 2408 http://www.prad.de/en/monitore/review/2007/review-hp-w2408h-part11.html sure enough, contrast should be 80

    HP 2509m

    thanks diablo, i saw that, but as you say it is an input jack. the original poster was talking about outputing sound from the monitor to speakers. or did i misunderstand?

    Calibration for a 2509m?

    i would also be interested what specs are you using? i've got everything set to max brightness and contrast at 100, color custom with r g and b set to 255 (max) sharpness at 4 and video over drive and diynamic contrast off looks pretty decent. it looked a little bleak out of the box, but...

    LED vs LCD vs Plasma vs DLP

    LCD is better if you mostly watch tv with the lights on. that's what i do because i like to be able to do other stuff while watching and because i get eyestrain if i watch in a dark room. also, all the guys that say LED doesn't improve picture quality, what do you thing about this statement...

    LCD refresh rate overclock possible?

    i got a p2350 up to 75Hz. At least that's what the Nvidia says. I also checked the lcd's built in OSD, and it is also reporting 75hz. However I am not noticing much of a difference. I remember on CRT's the difference between 60 and 75hz was quite noticeable. Is there any way to check...

    Why do people not like VLC?

    it uses your cpu to play 1080p x264 videos and there is no way to change that. with media player classic, you can make a few small tweaks and have it run 1080p off your graphics card, and depending on how good the gpu is, you can also have it run filters. so you get lower cpu usage and better...

    Can anyone recommend a b&m place in los angeles area to purchase monitors?

    yep, in another thread i was reading that in NY they have stores like J+R and H+R that carry some more advanced models--anything like that in LA? I'd figure that with the entertainment industry being in LA, there'd be some stores that would cater to it.

    Can anyone recommend a b&m place in los angeles area to purchase monitors?

    So far I've looked at bestbuy, frys, staples, office depot, costco and apple store. I am very underwhelmed by the selection and ability to test the monitors b4 buying. Any good places where I can find some of the monitors i'm reading about on here? I'd really prefer to buy locally.

    Hi, I am in the market for my first LCD and I'm trying to learn as much as I can. I recently bought a dell s2309w but had to return it because of this problem. Unclicked links in google that are supposed to be blue looked purple, (also certain greens and reds looked a little off). I spent...
