Likewise. I calibrated mine with a Spyder2 on the Standard setting and it was still a bit too yellow/green for my taste. Recalibrated on the Multimedia setting and it looks good now. I upgraded from a DoubleSight DS-263N, so I'm still getting used to the less oversaturated colors. Love the...

I've been hesitant to give up my Sennheiser HD590 cans for a new headset -- I love the sound and don't really want to throw down another $2-300 for a comparable set with a mic. This looks like a great compromise. Will have to check this out.

This. Glad I didn't pick up MW3...on any platform.

Definitely agree with the iPod at the #1 spot...the bladeless fan and the iTrip, not so much. And technically, 2009 isn't the last year of this decade. :D

1 frame -- maybe, maybe not; it depends on how sensitive you are to lag. In my opinion 2 frames is noticeable and requires quite a bit of getting used to. You can adjust to it, but I personally would rather play FPS games on a display with 1 frame of lag or less (the lower the better, obviously).

How do those Usher monitors compare to DefTech StudioMonitor 350s? Both are in the same price range. I read over at AVSForum that the DefTech 350s are good for gaming.

Those look very nice, but they're a bit too large for my taste. Would like something no larger physically than the ELT525Ms if there is something in that range that would be a good fit for gaming (primarily) and music (secondarily).

I'm also looking at the M-Audio monitors, but I don't see a way to hook them up to a sub.

You're thinking of the SCD-333ES. The receiver is a STR-DA333ES. Confusing, I know.

I have a fair amount of room on my desk for speakers, but I'd like to stick to something no larger than monitors (for aesthetic reasons more than anything). I'm not really interested in getting a new receiver when I have one that works well. As far as budget goes for the speakers -- the...

Hi all, Like the subject line says, I have a set of Klipsch Promedia 2.1s that I've been using for several years now. I've been satisfied with the sound, but I want something with better sound. I have an old Sony 333ES reciever that has been gathering dust, so I figured I could put it to...

+1 Funny how none of those developers see the need for draconian DRM. Coincidence?

It backfired for me as well. I was planning to pick this up on release day, but now I'm going to hold off. If they change the DRM policy to be more forgiving about reinstallation, I may reconsider.

I've owned 5 different eVGA cards over the past several years, and I've never had any problems with them: FX5900, 6800GT, 7800GTX, 8800GTX and 8600GT. The latter three cards are still in use and going strong. You really can't go wrong with either manufacturer, though.

If you can't return it, contact the manufacturer to have it replaced.

I don't see a dark spot either.

Seriously. MSRP is $149. :eek:

If you're satisfied with them, why worry about what others say about computer speakers? While it's true that many PC speaker sets are crap, the Klipsch ProMedias are actually quite good.

Another vote for Amazon here. I buy most of my gadgets from them because of their great return policy. Plus, 2nd-day shipping is free with Amazon Prime. NewEgg gets my business for internal PC components, though.

This.

Actually, that's not true. If you exchange a defective product, their customer service will promptly ship out a replacement for you. You then have 30 days to return the defective product. That has been my experience with Amazon countless times, including a DS-263N (which I exchanged due to...

Sounds like a defective panel. Do you have a picture of it?

Yes, it's a problem with ViewSonics in general and the VX2025wm in particular. My (now retired) VX2025wm has this problem. This fix will allow it to work properly in command line (BIOS and POST) and Windows XP, but it simply won't work at all under Vista unless I use WDM drivers. I ended up...

So, I just recalibrated with my Spyder2 using the offset settings ToastyX posted on the previous page of this thread. It looks even better now! Thanks again for posting those. :)

Thanks for posting your gain settings, ToastyX. I'm going to use them as a reference and recalibrate my display.

Which monitor do you have? Is it a ViewSonic by chance?

Depth is 9cm at its thickest point.

It's not really burn-in, but image persistence. Burn-in is permanent, and is typically associated with phosphor screens like CRTs. You should be able to fix the image persistence by turning your display off for a few hours. Setting your display to go into power save mode after 10-20 minutes...

The 100x100mm mounts are offset, so you need to make sure you have an adapter to accommodate. See my post earlier in this thread for a picture of the rear mounting holes. The display weighs 16lbs without the stand.

??? BenQ doesn't make panels. I think you may be confusing them with LG. Major panel manufactures include LG, Samsung and AU Optronics, among others.

http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/panelsearch.htm It's either a Samsung LTM220M1-L01 or Chi Mei Optoelectronics M220Z1L01 TN panel.

Wow, way to prove him wrong. :rolleyes:

Rear-projection displays are nearing the end of their life-cycle. Sony has already announced they will be exiting the market, and it's only a matter of time before Samsung and JVC do the same. Don't get me wrong, I love RP displays (I own an SXRD and an older CRT RPTV). But, the market is...

Sadly, SED will probably never make it to market. It's been tied up in litigation, so the window of opportunity has pretty much closed for it. OLED is the most likely successor to LCD.

1680x1050 on a 15.4" display makes the text too small, IMO. Should be fine on a 22" display. My 15.4" notebook has a 1440x900 display, and it seems just right to me. YMMV.

It sounds like you do have a bad display. I would exchange it through NewEgg without question if I were having the issues you have described.

Amen.

The 24WMCX is a TN panel, so per your requirements that spec would disqualify it for consideration. If you are looking for the best display for both photo editing and gaming, there really is only one option: the DoubleSight DS-263N. Any other display is probably going to be too much of a...

I notice the lines when I make the effort to look for them. I use an IPS panel at work, though, so they aren't noticeable to me during normal use.

I agree with this, as I'm one of those people who at least fit the first bullet above. However, even my wife, who is about as far removed from the gamer demographic as possible, notices the input lag on our 2470WNX.
