Can someone explain the VGA menu options on the westy and if there is something that is recommended to maximize performance? - is it necessary to tweak this section? It only becomes available if you have something running through the VGA port. I'm about a week into having mine and STV...

I (THINK) it's 1.0? I remember when i select the info box deal (where it gives you the source input info) at the bottom it says version 1.0 or something. If this is not right, where do I view the FW version?

Well I've had my westy for a few days now and there are several factors that may be getting in my way of truly appreciating this set. 1. My HD BOX (Explorer 3250HD - TimeWarner) is connected via the issued Component cables - I purchased a DVI cable but the picture looked washed out (even...

Whats the highest resolution Time-Warner HD is producing right now? Just wondering if I should hook up the cable box via Component or DVI. Also, do some DVI cables limit the output from the source or does it just depend on what the output is?

I haven't fired it up just yet (waiting to get my HD box) but these are some pics of my westy's new home. out of the box and on the stand I'll post more pics as I do more with it.

Finally took the plunge and bought this badboy. I've been watching this thread for a very long time hoping one day it would be mine. Pictures coming soon. I still have to trade my digital box for an HD box, get an upconvert dvd player, perhaps an XBOX360 and eventually a new PC because mine...

They have this set at my local Conn's for 999.99. I was wondering if this was a good deal. They have a 42" Westinghouse at Bestbuy right now for the same price but not sure if it is 1080p and if the response time is the same, etc. Right now, I don't have a powerful pc nor a next-gen console nor...

I finally saw one with my own eyes last night! It was at a Conn's and it wasn't spectacular to my eyes as it sat next to samsungs, sony's and other LCD's in the same size range. It did look better a bit further away though. It was being sold for 999.99. Does anyone know if Conn's will drop that...

Didn't take long, now they are out of stock/ no longer available.

Haven't seen anything about 10% off coupons for crutchfield.

So is the problem fixed for the PS3 where it isn't pumping out a 1080 signal? I hadn't heard any updates on this problem. From what I understand, what everyone is seeing on their super cool LCD's is standard definition. :)

Just wondering if this is a good value. Im considering the fact that it comes with a 21" HPf2105 monitor. Remote Control, wireless keyboard and mouse, etc. Link to data sheet Local price for the package is $1,429.34+tax. Is the computer set to handle a gaming upgrade? - 7900GT - 2gb...

So is the TV version better than the Monitor version (LVM-37W3)? If so, why?

Well the pricetag is currently 1199.99 at bestbuy for the westy, does that change anything? the 42 is 1499.99 I was ready to buy the 37" at 1499.99 less than 2months ago (LVM-37W3) and now the 42" is that price. I don't have a powerful PC (like to game, surf the web and play with...

Are there any reported disadvantages of the 42" to the 37". Reason I ask is there is just so much more talk of the 37" it got me to thinking there was something wrong with the 42". I suppose (and hope) the reason more talk about the 37" is the pricepoint. I was ready to get the 37" at what...

Good information there, thanks.

Best Buy can get it to you via their warehouses but generally do not carry it in-store. I was just at my BB yesterday and had the guy look up the LVM-37W3 and it showed 17 available and they offer it at 1899.99. I told the guy I could get it 1649 shipped and they dude said he could give me that...

$699 would be pretty darn good no? The circuit-city link earlier shows it at $849 or something. Lowest I've seen it (so far) is like $719 (after rebates) shipped.

not to stray off the issue at hand but is SLI really all that much a performance boost? Ive read that dual cards doesn't really produce a significant increase in performance to justify the overall cost at this time.

well since your calling yourself "hardcore", i'd have to say the best thing out now is the NEC 20WGX2. Taking the price away from the equation, it seems to have the bang. Integrated tv tuner and other inputs besides analog/digital is a plus (plug in your consoles). I was shopping for a 24"...

awesome, report back your impressions sincr this one has been bumped to the top of my list.

Coupon?

Are there any Automated arms out there for LCDs? Something controlled via remote or with a PC interface?

I hope this wasn't asked or answered already but do those speakers come off? Also can the monitor be mounted on an ARM?

Yup, I think im sold on this but am very curious on the XBOX360 performance as well.

Be sure to post pics/impressions when you get it. Ive read about others being able to get deals at Best Buy using Pricematch to Crutchfield prices and said their final price was better than Crutchfield/J&R. Retail shops don't have these monitors in-stock but the warehouses seem to be well...

So is there no such thing as a W2? The Bestbuy here has it listed as a LVM37W2 edit: oh i think what they have at Bestbuy is the LTV-37W2. What are the major differences between these models?

Not to say I told you so, but I did. I never said October but I did say 4th Quarter of this year as it was said to me by Dell themselves allbeit the Pakistan branch or whatever foreign country they have outsourced to handle phone orders. Perhaps they weren't considered a reliable source of...

Id be interested in some console tests via Component input or even VGA.

Im looking at getting a rig with an AMD X2 series chip, just wondering if there is a significant performance boost from the 3800 to 42, 4400, etc. Also what the main benefits are from the different motherboards (standard, premium and deluxe). Is 500W enough to power these motherboards with SLI...

How about a [H]ard|Forum members discount weekend or something! :cool: I've got some cash and im itching to make the final deal but i need a little extra something to push me over the edge...... or i may just get impatient and get the rig either way.....heh

so your Viewsonic VX2025w replaced your 2405fpw? What does "much better" really mean with regards to ghosting and better than what - the 2005, 2405 or both?

I just saw this tv/monitor used for an XBOX360 demo unit. Looked really crisp. Too bad I want a 24"+ widescreen.

yes its in TAXES alright. :rolleyes:

Does the 2405 rotate? If so, will the 2407 also rotate?

so far it seems like the 2405 it is. As far as getting a smaller screen is concerned: it's not like I currently own a large screen (17" CRT = the biggest screen ive ever had) but if im going in all new, I figure i might as well go for an extreme change. This is why my minimum is 24" widescreen...

I'm going to be finally getting a new pc and with that comes a nice new monitor. It was pretty much set in stone that I would get the Dell2405 but after reading about various monitors/ tvs, I'm really unsure of what the best solution is. The bigger the screen for the money, the better but...

I just calle Dell and told them i wanted a new monitor, was looking at the 2405 but noticed that the 2407 launched in Japan, etc, etc. They guy told me that they have put a stop to the 2407 due to "manufacturing defect" and wouldn't be released before the 4th qtr of this year. Then he continued...

Im ready for my new PC and have the itch to spend some money but I am waiting for this mysterious 2407 to surface. I'm thinking I may not wait much longer though and get the 2405. Something tells me the 2405 will still be superiour quality to this "upgrade". Then again, I should be wrong.

I just got an email advertising this LCD-TV at 899.99. Seems pretty cheap for 32" LCD. Don't know too much about it though so was hoping someone could enlighten me. Things I would do with this: Play games (console and pc) Watch TV Watch Movies - Chris
