concrete-core chokes and hardened MOSFETs

I had something like this happen to me before, and it was the NVIDIA card dying :(. Replacing the card fixed the BSOD entirely.

I got my Crossover. Zero dead or stuck pixels. The picture was rather cool to begin with, however, I have a good colorimeter (a Xrite i1 Display Pro) and calibrated it pretty easily. Overall, I'm pretty happy, but I think I figured out how these are not A+ panels, however. Mine, at least, has a...

This is probably a stupid question, but what's the general consensus on which of the three models (Catleap, Achieva, Crossover) is the "best"? From quality of the chassis, to probability (or lack thereof) of dead/stuck pixels. Any thoughts? I own a colorimeter, so a little color shift isn't a...

Whoa, I didn't know about that! Honestly, a high-quality *VA panel might make me just as happy (if not more) than an IPS. We have a huge mix of high-end monitors where I work, including VA, high-end TN, and IPS, and the black levels of VA almost make me give them the nod over any IPS I've seen...

Yeah I agree. One can hope though :). I expect that the lack of a bezel is decoupled by any requirements from 120 Hz.

Probably at first, but LCD tech just seems to only be getting cheaper. The hard-ceiling seems to be about $1k, which I'd happily pay for such a monitor- assuming it had a MILD AG coating, display port, and low input latency. No-bezel would be nice too (like the LG DM92 that they showed off at...

Isn't LG coming out with next-gen IPS soon that will be faster? I dunno about you guys, but I'd pay 2X for a solid A+ IPS (0 dead/stuck pixels, or BLB) that I can run at 120 Hz, legitimately.

All LCDs can "burn-in". I have a Dell VA panel from 2007 that has it pretty bad at times. The only way I've found to clean it up is to leave the panel OFF for an extended period of time. I discovered this when I was trying to get rid of burn-in with RGB slide screensavers, leaving WHITE on for...

This model (and the D model) are now virtually impossible to find in the US. I wonder if this has anything to do with the incoming wave of new IPS tech that will be hitting in the 2nd-half of this year. Perhaps Samsung is busy working on 2nd-gen PLS?

Are there any new models coming out in 2012 that look promising? I currently have a relatively old Dell 24" 1920x1200 VA panel that has done well for itself, but it has a pretty bad blob of image retention right in the top center (unusual for an LCD, I know). I've been wanting to replace it...

I'm interested in this monitor but I live in the US. The "D" model seems to be hard to find, and I can't find the new "T" model anywhere. Anyone have any ideas on when it may show up on the likes of Amazon?

SA850 *T*? What is this variant? Does this explain why all of the SA850 *D* models seem to be no longer in stock from the major resellers? What's going on here?

Yeah I understand. Please let us know how the second one turns out. I'm thinking of getting mine through Amazon- price seems right... even better than the Apple discount I get through my company (after tax). Anyone try to return this thing through Amazon? Any issues?

Man, I really want this display so hearing about your issues is frustrating. Any chance that your yellow tint issue is related to the glue that they often use in their glass-covered screens? I remember the iPad (or was it the iPhone 4?) that had a lot of people complaining about yellow haze that...

Are any of you guys with this issue using MSI's Afterburner utility? I uninstalled it and the problem went away.

Have you found a solution yet? I'm experiencing the same thing. HD6850 Catalyst 10.10

Huh? What do you mean? I'm pissed off because I had a ATI 9700 pro that absolutely rocked with COD and I just got the 6800 ultra and with CODUO the performance is worse than the ATI. Doesn't make any sense at all. HL2/CSS, Tribes:V, etc. all scream. Hell, Doom 3, practically maxed out...

Disabling EAX helped a little but i'm still getting bizarre slowdowns where my GF 6800 Ultra should be able to handle it perfectly. I mean hell- this is the Q3A engine on an nVidia card- it shouldn't jerk at all. HL2 (after the million and a half patches anyway) screams on my system...

But it sounds so amazing :( I am totally hooked on 3D sound, but recently implementation of it in most games is horrific. It really sucks that A3D lost out on the 3D sound war. Their API was so much better. I'll play for a bit with EAX off again and see if there's a change (though I...

Same problem here. I'm only on the second level- it gets so bad when the enemy flare goes off (by the house) that I just don't feel like playing any further. On the first level it gets horrific when the firendly tanks roll in, too. Otherwise it's mediocre. HARDWARE: Fresh Windows XP SP2...
