    I can't see the first square and the 2nd is faintly visible (you have to stick your face next to the screen)...3 and 4 are easy to see. On the white saturation test, I can also see 252 but nothing after that. Monitor is calibrated w/ 0 brightness and 96 contrast (I still have to redo the...

    Ditto. I opened up a ticket (I'd suggest that anyone that is bothered by this do the same so they know it's affecting more than a handful of people). They asked really dumb questions asking me to describe the problem over and over. I finally said it's a bug and others are having the same...

    FWIW, mine is lukewarm to the touch. Warmest area is to the right and behind the HP logo in the front (over the vent). It's on a clear desk w/ plenty of space below/above it. If Tanner8 has it in an enclosed area, I can see it getting hot...

    Borrow a friend's? Calibration doesn't just involve using the settings...the settings just tweak brightness/contrast to get it into calibration range. The calibration hardware/software generates a calibration profile which tells the graphics card how to map colors, but this is for a *specific*...

    Depends on your software for selecting your target, but the results are almost always printed at the end. That screen capture I posted is from the final screen from a calibration with an EyeOne unit (the one that's similar to the ColorMunki).

    Thanks Bloodflowerz for your calibration results. I'll give it another go later and tell it I want to target 6500K instead of use the LCD's native color temp. p.s., another easy way to see the 1080p autoscaler bug is to use a DVI cable (switched from VGA because my KVM was outputting noise...

    Anyone else have a picture of their final calibration results? I'm just wondering if I can do better than the 160 cd/m and .6 black point I got and what you used to get it...

    HP ZR24w

    I haven't. The color section is set to 6500K and if I choose custom color, all the RGB values are at 255. It seems odd that my calibration sensor is measuring the color temp as 7100K...surprised it's that far off from 6500K...

    First attempt at calibrating. Aimed for 120cd/m2 and the calibration software missed it :-P Brightness setting for monitor is 5. Contrast is 98.

    HP ZR24w

    Just finished setting up mine and am waiting for it to warm up before I calibrate it. No bad pixels :-) Blacks (like the background of this web page) didn't look black until I set brightness to 4). I'm using VGA now through a KVM and it apparently doesn't have the bandwidth for 1920x1200 so I...

    so if you feed it 1080p video, it can't display it as 1920x1080??? That's seems like a dumb design...

    Thanks...most informative post I've seen in a while. So, net result is if you want to get a wide gamut screen, make sure you have a 10-bit panel (doesn't exist AFAIK until you get into the $600-800 range w/ the new Dell U2710 or the Eizos at much higher cost)? Otherwise, it's a lot better to...

    HP ZR24w

    Wait a sec...the Dell U2410 are 72% of sRGB? How can it be wide gamut then? And for photoshop/graphics applications, wouldn't you want it to be slightly over 100% sRGB coverage to make sure you can cover all of it? Meaning the Dell U2410 should be better? I couldn't find the 97% number for...

    It means you'll see more colors. This is usually only useful if you're into photoshop or graphics design or photography (where you edit in photoshop) because you want to make sure what you edit is what you'll see in print...I'm in this category. For hardcore gamers, it's generally not useful...

    chris_n: any chance you could do a side-by-side comparo w/ the Eizo's (either drag one home or the HP to the studio)? And I presume you calibrate w/ an i1? Are you on model mayhem? :-)

    HP ZR24w

    Ditto on pictures not been a valid way to compare stuff...ideally you'd also have the Dell U2410 to compare against. The different panel sounds promising though...hopefully it won't have the tinge or uneven lighting issue the old HP and Dell U2410 panels had...

    AN-M2 nView @ NewEgg

    Maybe nVidia has fixed their manufacturing issue...(I thought it was related to the bug that caused the 71xx chipset to suck more power than usual so laptop makers couldn't use it w/o having crappy battery life?)

    ABIT AN-M2HD

    Integrated graphics is marginally faster (now it's slightly faster than AMD's 690G which is slighly faster than the old 6150). Main difference is HDMI output so they can still compete w/ AMD's 690G which has an HDMI output. Unfortunately, it's not fast enough to decode H.264 HD content...

    When I put my qpack together, I got a nasty cut from somewhere and bled all over the place...sometimes it's the little things that count :-P It'd be nice if the sheet metal were 2mil thicker so it doesn't flex as much inside too. Good to hear it's an inch longer like the Microfly. No more...
