This works for me with vista but not in the Windows 7 beta. The driver fix wasn't giving me any luck there either. Has anyone had this problem and found a fix?

i was afraid of that. oh well, thanks for the reply. now to decide if buying an x-fi was a mistake. i bought it almost a year ago but haven't moved to vista yet (waiting to do a full upgrade). been hearing negative things about alchemy but don't know what that's all about.

I've got a Sound Blaster X-Fi with the audio panel; it provides me with a bunch of connections, SPDIF (toslink) included. If I use this output, connecting it to my home theater receiver I was wondering if there are drivers or games that support 5.1 output for games this way. I am able to...

Hey dude, I'm interested in buying this screen from you - I live in North Seattle (just past Northgate Mall) but I won't be back in WA until Monday night (I'm in South CA right now for Thanksgiving). If it's still available please reply to the PM I'll send with my email and whatnot. Thanks :D

i'm looking to also get a cable, i think my monitor is slowly becoming overly bright - but it'd be nice to have anyway for future use/peace of mind. on the guild linked from the short-media forums it looks like ebay may be a good way to go to get cables/adapters. to anyone who's used this...

as far as i know it's used to further manipulate settings like gamma/contrast/brightness/etc. i've noticed that my brightness and contrast are already near 100, but if things degrade i may need to invest in that cable/software as well. ...that is... if that really is what it's used for. :p

it won't let me run it if it's wrong... afaik. ;)

to an extent this kind of behavior is completely normal for a crt monitor. on mine i've noticed that it has a high pitched wine when the computer is posting (not very noticable) then *clicks* to change resoultions and the whine goes away when i hit the desktop. :) if you use an nvidia...

modded xbox 1? :eek:

@_@ seriously? i would <3 you for some screens, if possible. :D i had read that Ninja Gaiden (probably my favorite xbox title) got 720p support - but i didn't know that more than just that and halo(1+2) got it. i would have thought more often than not it would cause ugly stretching to the...

Mathesar, I really appretiated your Xbox 360 screens back a few pages and was wondering if you had Halo 2 available to try with the 360's backwards compatibility. I've been really curious as to how it'd look since I heard it's one of a few games to support 720p with anti-aliasing through the...

this may sound wierd, as it's difficult to describe it... when running a non-ws rez is it possible to get rid (or reduce) of that discolored/lighter area around the actual projected image - it's what is between the outer area that is void of a signal and the actual image that the monitor is...

thanks for the impressions, that's about what i expected. as for the 1080i performance, teamxbox seems to think they could be doing an upscaling trick - which is why the resolution options are limited from the dash. are you using the 16:10 rez and expanding it to "over fit"; getting rid of the...

personally i'd go vp930b - i hear it's got great latency and it is, unlike the others, an 8bit panel.

hey mathesar - does the 60hz refresh rate limit on the x360 vga cable bug you? i figured sitting back a ways helps with that. also - was wondering, on the your fw900 - have you played pc versions of cod2/nfsmw vs x360 versions? if so what advantages/disadvantages do you see to both? i've...

i have: athlon64 4000+ evga 7800gt 1 gig o' ram been running games at 1680x1050 no problems, most with at least 2xfsaa and 16xaf. i recently bought the fw900 (24" widescreen sony crt) - very much worth it, and that i can scale down to lower or up to higher widescreen rezes is very...

forsooth

well, it's gonna take some tampering. they're not new monitors and something i've noticed on AG monitors is that they're not as focused in the corners as at the center. fiddle around with the 4 convergence options (mine are 53.54.45.52, top to bottom) which is getting the job done. even on my...

my 7800gt from evga came overclocked stock - which is kind of an oddity many have noticed in the geforce 7 series vs other gens - nearly a fault. since in most cases the board is capable of higher speeds manufacturers slightly oc (though i'm not sure why, since even those unadvertised as oc'd...

spendy as hell (imho) for a native rez that's not to impressive - although prob okay for tv/dvd the viewsonic you linked is more ideal for desktop useage, though the others can do the job to some capacity as well. as a new owner of the fw900 i can wholeheartedly recommend it. it's effective...

it's part of the bezel, so forget about it unless you're a mod master (like, pro :D ). they probably don't draw much attention, and especially if you buy a splitter a radio shack having an extra 2 center or front channels for audio can't hurt at all. :p

i needed to do combo's of each section for convergence, and a little landing too. as i've done with other monitors (for nVidia cards) i also use the the sharpness slider just a bit. it's in advanced display options - i think it's under color correction, or something. i'm pleased with focus...

i just see a hassle of trying to sell something for $50 bucks that ended up costing $50-100 more for. i can't imaging the specs on the 17" lcd but they're probably not super great, prob just desent for general use. remember though, if dual setup sounds cool to you it's always an option. :D

well, at 1920x1200 the fw900 is going to be massive area to work with - worth checking out. i got mine yesterday and it's worth it, to me. photoshop, gaming, general usage = :D

check out the vp930b (low to mid $400's) for 8bit check out the l90d+ or 940b for 6bit i've heard good things all around.

i'd say save the money - you're probably better off with the trinitron and wouldn't get much to ebay a 17" lcd - well, not enough to cover what you spent, most likely.

i had issues with a 6800gt, it's replacement, and a ti4200 i had laying around all because even though my powersupply 12v rail was good enough - it was failing. replacing the entire PS fixed the problem for me - if you find yourself stumped and have a chance to sub in a different power supply...

i like that you can play them on your pc at home then transfer the saves over to the cart - it's a legal grey area, but i personaly didn't feel bad with my boxes stacked decoratively on my desk. gba is probably my favorite portable platform yet - i mean, my psp is RAD (gta on it is beyond what...

if you have an sp and don't own at least one of the Advance Wars titles, i have to wonder what you're doing with the thing... paperweight? :D beyond that i though that final fantasy: tactics advance was really cool, as wel as the entire line of castlevania's (<3) and metroids (:p). i...

things may have changed, but i've heard more than one time that with DVI the difference is most notable with using higher resolutions (which i've interpreted as 1600x1200+). now, most are impacted over interpretation mentally, so think digital w/o converting to analog and "hey, it should look...

i did 9600k, cause i remember mathesar ( i think ) saying that's what he was using... not positive, but it looks good to me. i can probably get some pics tonight after work for size comparisson; vs the fe991sb that is. my main beef with the fe991sb (aside from eventually wanting something a...

the nec fe991sb is pretty good. i ran duel setup with one of those and a fe990, both black 19" crt's. using photoshop was great as well as running wow in one window and having winamp/itunes and miranda (aim) in the other.

well, been reading the pages for quite a few days - though it's easy (least for a human, such as i) to forget each and every tip that's compiled here. i was concerned at first because the monitor had HORRIBLE color, just crappy. after 30 or so minutes i was able to run that restoration and the...

:D oh wow. more later...

once i do get it warmed up think it'd hurt to leave it in screensaver mode for long periods of time? it may have been a while since it was last used but the colors were VERY much off. also, 1680x1050 wasn't available when i hooked the beast up so i added it in the nVidia control panel -...

been running almost a half an hour - any ideas on what steps i need to take to get the colors right and geometry right? the blacks got a pretty good green tint to it. : \

there were a lot of reports about some lines appearing on the l90d+ BUT i've heard they've got that worked out and fixed on models now shipping - so i don't think you'd have to worry there. i've also heard that it's one, if not the best, performer for you dollar (as far as 6bit panels go, which...

in the research i've done i've found that the vp930b is one of the best priced/performance for what i've heard the lcd is capable of. there's a more expensive panel from NEC that's supposed to rock but what i'd really suggest is that you go check out the vx924 in person at a local store (like...

this guy is selling it because he wants a wide lcd so i'll hop on that deal - that's rad that i can actually be gaming on it tonight (especially psyched for cod2 and chaos theory). i'm coming from a fe991sb (ag monitor from nec, 19") and i'm hoping that the sony is comparably bright - that SB...

sony, used, $350 local pickup - can do tonight... thoughts?! (excited)
