Worst thread title ever. How old are you, 13?

Well, looks like we won't have to worry about it anymore. Sony just released Firmware version 1.80, which contains the fix all of us DVI-HDMI users have been waiting for - it's listed as "HDMI (Full Range)" under the XMB Settings menu. Old: New: I guess I'll be repurchasing...

By "game settings menu", do you mean the XMB? Please tell me you actually checked the XMB Settings Menu before posting this topic...

When currency converted, I paid around $1080 US.

Is that because the menu settings for the BenQ are capable of lowering the brightness levels down to a suitable level? I haven't seen anyone outright confirm that the BenQ has perfect blacks immediately after plugging in a PS3... The amount of monitors that do seem affected, though, far...

Some more impressions: Switching between different input sources is extremely slow (Around 4 seconds per selection), and rather clunky as well. But this is only noticable when you're rapidly switching between connections, as I've been the past hour or so. Menu options appear to be quite...

All right. I'm returning this piece of shit tomorrow. Initial observations: Monitor is in desperate need of calibration out of the box... the 2707 produces a far more superior image fresh out of the packaging. NO 1:1 PIXEL MAPPING AT 1080P The analog inputs (Component, S-Video) are...

My local Future Shop just received their 275ts this afternoon, so if the store has them ready for purchase, I plan on having one by the end of tonight. After talking with a few people and doing some research on the 'net, all of my sources say that FS has a 14-day, no-questions-asked return...

Well, that changes things a bit, then... Damnit.

Well, if that's Future Shop's policy, then I have no problem buying the set and plugging in a PS3 to see how it performs. Actually, that's probably what I'll do, anyway. :p I'm still quite familiar with my old 2707, so I should be able to do a relative comparison between them...

Component is unaffected, but unfortunately, the 2707's component input is absolute garbage...

Does Future Shop charge a restocking fee for monitors? I tried looking on their website for information on returns, but it said nothing about mandatory fees for opened merchandise...

This is the most revealing picture of the problem I'm found so far: 1:1 mode perfectly showcases the variation in blacks...

To all Canadians interested in the 275T, I have some very, very good news...

It has to do with the 2707's way of interpreting different types of video signals. I'm not fully versed in the technical details, so I can't give a full-on explanation, but while the problem is essentially coming from the PS3, it's also the 2707's fault for not properly recognizing the...

Here, let me show you some of the different pics I've found around the 'net: This is someone using a 2407WFP (Not sure which revision), whose monitor exhibits perfect black levels via HDMI-DVI: Now, here's someone who's using the same HDMI-DVI process, only their monitor (Which type...

No, this problem affects each and every 2707WFP; along with myself, I've personally talked to two other people with the same "washed-out" effect, as well as the numerous Dell Support users who have commented on the issue. If you actually examine one of the pictures at the latter link you...

Although it's sort of pedestrian, here's a review from TweakNews: http://www.tweaknews.net/reviews/samsung_syncmaster_275t_lcd_monitor/ Nothing new, really, and some of his "gaming" comments were a bit confusing, but a very positive report nonetheless. Just like MrPatate, I'm also...

I'm pretty sure those VGA specs aren't accurate; I didn't get a chance to test out any of those resolutions, since I've returned it already, but I've seen a link where someone did a review of the 2707 specifically for use with a 360 connected through the VGA port. It was a Korean website, I...

1080i isn't supported through DVI; try outputting 720p and see if that works.

2.35:1 Widescreen is advantageous for theatrical exhibition, because the entire "frame" emulates a person's vision by presenting a wider image that surrounds the viewer's field-of-view, creating a more immersive experience (Supposedly). That's the reason why so many big-budget/"epic" films are...

You people are HORRIBLE. lol

That's a fantastic suggestion, let's make it happen :)

Nope, no humming - I'm sensitive to it, as well, so I would have heard something had it been present.

I sat about 3.5 ft. away from the display. Due to the nature of my setup, it was impossible for me to go any further. At that distance, the text did appear to be visibly blocky and lacking "volume", if you know what I mean. If I were to back up slightly, it wouldn't be noticable, so it all...

Uh-oh... Did Samsung screw up AGAIN? I really hope the 24 & 27 inch counterparts don't suffer from this as well.

I'm sending mine back to Dell on Monday. Honestly, the monitor's fantastic for general PC use, but one key issue motivated me to organize the return: THE 2707WFP IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH PLAYSTATION 3s. Well, perhaps I shouldn't say "incompatible", but unless you have a high tolerance for...

So after an hour of experimentation, it seems that the black level problem only occurs with the PS3 over DVI... after discovering this, a quick Google search led me to this: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=788813&page=1&pp=30&highlight=washed+out+HDMI Basically, the PS3 is...

Okay, so I just got the monitor, and I have some serious concerns with the black levels. Quite frankly, they suck shit. I'm comparing the 2707 to my Macbook, and it's insane how much they differ. When watching a 1080p clip with 1:1 scaling on, the difference between the blacks inherent in...

It's a problem with the game, not the monitor. Virtually everyone who plays GoWII in 480p experiences screen tearing.

I just placed my order. :D Since I specifically bought it for use with a PS3, I'll be posting impressions based around its performance with gaming/1080p Blu-Ray playback once I receive it.

This thread seems to have backfired in the OP's face...

Awesome news, GreenGoose :D

So no discernable lag that you've noticed so far? How do first-person shooters play?

We got ourselves some user impressions...(From Whirlpool.net Forums) Some users in the thread asked for some input lag details, so I hope he fills us in :)

Please tell me you *at least* own some bedsheets, man... Maybe instead of the 30" LCD, you could have spent your money on improving the third-world decor of your apartment instead?

This is either completely awesome or completely pathetic.

Would I be able to get in on this, too? Thanks :)

This is the best monitor-related news I have heard in a very, very long time. After a year and a half of waiting, I've finally found the perfect LCD display for my needs. Now goddamnit, Dell, DROP THE FREAKING PRICE!!! P.S. :)

At the Whirlpool.net Forums, someone called Dell Customer Support to confirm resolution modes, and this is what he was given: VGA DVI Component 480i No Yes Yes 480p No Yes Yes 720i No Yes Yes 720p No Yes Yes 1080i No No Yes 1080p No Yes No There's also a menu option, as revealed...
