I hear you there.... but, I've been noticing that a lot of this is actually in the source material. I'm just starting to get my Westy set up... but have noticed this more and more when watching stuff, even on the CRT I'm replacing. I'm quite sensitive to this too... so I'll have to report...

No, you shouldn't. Your graphics card probably really is a DVI-I (outputs digital... and analog with an adapter, like s-video). I'm pretty sure a DVI-D cable will plug into that... it is the westy side that limits the connector used, as it is without the 4 analog pins. I have the DVD-I port on...

Interesting... thanks. Anyone know of a place in the US that sells it? Otherwise, by the time I shipped, put in a case, got power, etc.... I think it would be over $100 anyway. Also.... just found this: http://www.zzounds.com/item--BEHADA8000 which would fix me up for several devices at...

Hehe.... well, it's more subjective than that. 'Bad' might be too strong of a term depending on your goal. If you are a destination shopper... you'll not like Ikea. If you like to spend an afternoon browsing through tons of environments set-up with the products to get ideas... (and stop for...

I'm wondering if anyone knows of an inexpensive DAC that might be similar in quality to what would be on a typical receiver. Here is my situation, and reason for asking... I have a Yamaha HTR-5890, which I'm quite pleased with. However, it seems that its 'zone 2' and 'zone 3' outputs can...

I agree. I ended up doing a lot of measuring, and talked my wife into the idea that 37" wasn't too huge... and went with the Westy 37w3 (should be her Wed... whoo hoo)... but this BenQ would have probably been my next choice if I had to stay with the 24" size. It does look like a great monitor...

Hehe.... I take it you've never been to an Ikea. It is a pretty nuts experience... you can have just as bad of luck at the actual store as you did on-line... LOL (but the meatballs are good in the cafe.) You run around this HUGE store with a cart that is laid out like a rat maze... and pick...

Well.... I'll soon be a member of the club. :cool: I got shipment confirmation from PCNation.com this evening. I ordered it late in the day on Thurs. They called Friday AM to confirm the info, and shipped in the evening. 3-day fed-ex for free... so should be here Wednesday according to...

You'll have to wait and see what type of audio out the cable box has on it. If it has HDMI, then that should send the video and sound to the Westy.... an HDMI cable and you're done. If it has DVI, then you'll need to get sound to it another way (analog or optical). Analog: I'd guess if...

Thanks.... I agree. I was just wondering if I need to order cables, and couldn't find any info on what was in the box. I've heard great things about monoprice and I have usually ordered in the past from pacificcable.com. The cables I've gotten have always been better quality than anything I...

Also... take this for what it is worth, but someone posted on AVS forums that they waited a long time to get through to Westy..... but spoke with a rep (and the person posted the name, case #, etc.) that the 37" is not discontinued. They said that it will be produced for approx. 6 months yet...

I'm wondering what comes with this unit cable-wise.... just power? or does it come with DVI, HDMI, stuff like that? Thanks.

It is a REALLY strong desk. It can also be set up a number of different ways... height is variable, etc. There are also add-ons available for it. You can get an extension to go up one more level with another shelf above. There are small swinging 'table' like attachments for a printer or scanner...

The thing is they just don't know. They don't know what serial number the updates started with.... they just know that their factory started applying them in December. I'm guessing it might not be Dec. 1 or anything either. Add in stock at dealers, how distribution happens, etc.... and you might...

I'd like to believe this... but I think the logic is a bit faulty. Do you have some other reason why they are not being discontinued? The site doesn't have the new models that have already been released, so they are probably just behind in updating it. The new model line announcements list...

Cool! Thanks for the observations. If you have some way... could you test SD rez material on it over Component somehow? Stuff like standard cable and game consoles. It seems that component inputs and scalers, etc seem to vary greatly on different models... so I'm really curious how well this...

It can be hard to tell in the stores sometimes, as you don't know how they have them set, or what the source quality is... or the same for all, etc. That price sounds really good. Some have gotten them for less, but I can't find a deal like that currently. Lowest prices I can find seem to be...

Here is a review of it. http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,2080696,00.asp (Oopps... just noticed that someone already put this link on the first page.... but I guess won't hurt to repeat it, as it seems to be about the only info I can find so far. The review is also full of quite a few...

People... calm down! :D First, if it was just released... then the pricing is more of a 'retail' price, and there will be deals and drops as time goes on. Remember how much the 2405 was originally, or even the 2407 dropped a lot. Second, the 30" and this new 27" are totally different...

Most of them do, but it is more a matter of how the inputs are set-up on them. The majority of LCD TVs I've seen have HDMI and VGA. They consider the VGA to be the 'PC Input' on the shelf tags at the stores, or in the manufacturer's description. The problem with this is, of course, that VGA...

Hehe.... well I don't know which is superior and all. I'm just somewhat limited by my actual physical space. 37" is max right now, so it concerns me that this might be the last 1080p thing under 42" on the market.... my next choice would be getting into 24" (or maybe now 26-7" LCD computer...

I'm wondering if someone can confirm or deny my experience with the 2407 and component inputs (compared to the 2405). I got a chance to use a 2407 for about an hour at work (though I had to set it up and re-package it, and got interrupted a couple times, so only like 30 min actual use time)...

Oh my... OK, which is it? And if the top peeps are so happy with it, why are they nixing it? I hope this doesn't mean the smallest 1080p display is now going to be 42"... I'll have to get one of these before they sell out if that is the case. If they are selling so well they can't keep them in...

Yea, I agree. And some people have been getting them for as low as $800 it seems (pre tax and shipping). I'm just looking at the prices now, and going 'ekk' in comparison. :) I'm a bit surprised that this is one of the few 37" that is 1080p... and seems nothing other than 24" computer LCDs...

There is 1:1 aspect ratio, and 1:1 pixel mapping. 1:1 aspect ration might be scaled, but holds the original aspect ratio. 1:1 pixel mapping would be where say a 640x480 image is exactly 640x480 pixels in the center of the screen... actual 640x480 size... black bars on all sides. It might just...

Some CRT based monitors can be. The high-volt power supply that drives the electron gun can be pushed out of range and damage itself I think. This shouldn't be an issue on an LCD. Still... I'd rather not push my luck. LOL Just run at 1920x1080@60hz... not sure why anyone would want to run at...

Yes... I agree. I think they blew it. First (as I have stated many times), I'm not sure how they made such a big blunder to begin with. Second, they have handled this quite poorly. If they addressed it quickly, and / or had published good info on what was happening on their web site... I'd...

I think that FAQ is off on a couple points from what I've read. First, I'm pretty sure the limit for single-link is 1920x1200@60hz. This is why many of the 24" panels are right on the edge of what single-link can do. Some video cards have trouble pushing that amount of data, as their DVI chips...

I know this is a bit of a subjective question... but how do people who have done similar type of things with their displays... who have had both this Westy 37" as well as any of the various 24" LCDs feel it compares? Obviously, 1920x1200 on 24" is a much higher pixel density than 1920x1080 on...

I agree. If I were looking for a computer display and didn't want a 1080p capable screen (and that 24" wasn't already a bit small to use as a TV in my living room)... I'd be all over the 22" displays. For a computer, it is not that much smaller, but MUCH cheaper. The comparison point is really...

You are probably right. With the 24" displays I was looking at, weight wasn't really an issue and they only covered a small percentage of the vent area. I guess the Westy would be too much. The problem is that if I put it in the cabinet, then I have another air circulation problem. Having a...

Thanks... I guess I need to come up with plan B then. :) Actually, 'only' 50 lbs with base... but that is still kind of heavy. But, the 23" with feet in corners isn't going to fit. I suppose I could put some kind of board or glass plate across to distribute the weight. I'll have to get...

Hi Tyen, To get sound, you basically have to take the output from whatever device you are using, amplify it to drive speakers with it. Many of these type displays don't have 'sound' built-in. I'm not familiar with the device you mentioned, but it kind of looks like a surround processor. It...

I agree on both counts. PIP on the BenQ is pretty much useless, however, I too think it is mostly a sales gimmick, and have never really used it on any device I've had (other than to just try it initially). I suppose for someone using a computer, it might be nice to have the game or the news in...

Can someone please describe the base for me? I might put it on a wall eventually, but initially I'm thinking of trying to have it stand on top of my stereo receiver. I have a Yamaha HTR-5890, which seems pretty solid and is about 17" wide. From the photos of the monitor... the base looks about...

It seems odd though that they couldn't turn it on only when playing blue-ray discs. There should be no reason it needs to use HDCP to display a game. I'm just hoping someone cracks this, so we can just use any player / display and undue the stupid mess that has been created. I think I read the...

I think that is going to be an ongoing issue no matter what kind of devices you pick. This whole HDCP thing is just a huge mess. It is hard enough to follow for geeks... wait till the average consumer starts getting burned by it.

NexTag has this interesting price history graph... I just need to wait for the next 'dip'. :) http://www.nextag.com/Westinghouse-LVM-37W3-37-500517785/price-history-html Of course, this doesn't catch some of the super deals like the ShopKo one. WOW! I'm in the S.F. Bay area, and almost...

I'm not sure why you keep trying to defend BenQ on this point. Most of us complaining about the lack of 1:1 are not contesting that it is a good quality monitor. But, to say this isn't a defect misses a couple of major points. 1) It is advertised as being a multi-media monitor. It has many...

Or, it could actually make things worse. I've also been looking at the Westinghouse LCD monitors... and one of the issues people have been complaining about has to do with PS3 into HDMI port. There seems to be some kind of handshaking issue with HDCP. Interestingly... I guess the Westy has a...
