    LG L226WT 22" 3000:1 Contrast

    When looking at the Q, pay attention only to ghosting b/c apparently that is why it is so terrible.

    The Official HP w2207/w2007 Thread

    Well I replaced the stand with one from another manufacturer, and the vibrating seems to be reduced but still there. Are 22" widescreens just generally last stable than 17" and 19" 5:4 monitors in general due to size? EDIT: I also saw another 2207 at the store I bought the stand from and it was...

    The Official HP w2207/w2007 Thread

    Removed Vesa cover. Screws appeared to be tight. Tightened them just in case. Monitor still wobbles. Conclusion: Hp 2207 is defective by design -- the stand just doesn't cut it. Anyone know of any quality replacement stands?

    The Official HP w2207/w2007 Thread

    Man this sucks. Do you guys know of any way for me to manually take the stand apart and screw it together tighter or something? I thought this monitor stand could be replaced. :| EDIT: I found some directions for disassembling the stand. Gonna open this mother up and tighten the screws. Will be...

    The Official HP w2207/w2007 Thread

    Yeah, just tried moving the mouse really hard and it definitely shakes a bit. I think I might take this one back and get the LG. EDIT: Except I am missing the receipt. Shit. Hell I don't think they even gave me one. -_- Any ideas of how I can fix this myself? Like could I de-assemble the stand...

    I dunno. I guess it could be the desk. I sort of doubt it though. Maybe its just b/c I am used to my rock solid 17" LCD monitor which never showed the slightest hint of vibrating.

    The Official HP w2207/w2007 Thread

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=7DE3_AjGf-A K. Uploaded a video of it shaking to Youtube. Keep in mind that it shakes much worse in real-life -- the camera didn't pick up the shaking very well and it shakes even worse when I bump into the table or something. Is this normal or is the thing defective?

    The Official HP w2207/w2007 Thread

    Hmm... I tried to take a video of the vibrating with a camera but it didn't seem to pick it up. It's a slight vibration sort of, like the monitor is shaking while I type. I don't think the stand is defective, I think the monitor is just too large for the stand. EDIT: I now have a video of it...

    The Official HP w2207/w2007 Thread

    I'm not even typing hard. Two handed typing = my monitor vibrating like jello. Shifting around in my chair slightly = vibrating monitor (and I am pretty thin). How is it even possible to have a defective stand? I mean goddamn, it's just a piece of plastic attached to a monitor.

    LG L226WT 22" 3000:1 Contrast

    Yes. L226WT-BF and L226WTX-BF are fine. The Q model is NOT fine.

    In a bit of a bind with 22 inch monitor choice

    The specific LG model of the model you have is defective. You want to return the L226WTQ and replace it with a L226WTX or L226WT. Apparently prototype Q has MAJOR ghosting issues -- so bad that it would even affect your photo work IMO.

    Table is fine. The problem occurs when I am typing really hard, like I am now. You can see the edge of the monitor vibrating from my keystrokes. When I bump the table a bit the entire screen shakes Do me a favor. Pull the screen down as far as it will go. Put your keyboard maybe half a foot from...

    HP W2207: Colored fringe around black text and other text issues

    Haha, HP has a better stand? My entire 2207 monitor shakes when I type stuff. Annoying as hell, if it keeps up I might return it and buy the LG.

    Acer X222Wbd 22", 1000:1 5 ms HDCP

    Noticed this at Newegg, listed as a "New Arrival". No reviews. Anyone hear anything about it? On paper it is superior to the BenQ 222WH and the Viewsonic VG2230. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009111

    LG L226WT 22" 3000:1 Contrast

    Gusty, my guess is that the 226WTQ model (the one CC sells) is garbage. Get the 226WT instead to avoid this problem.

    ^Perhaps it is your GPU? Maybe there is a panel lottery now? Also make sure to turn off the dynamic contrast thing b/c apparently that can cause ghosting or something. EDIT: Also the one at CircuitCity looks different than the one Newegg is sellling. Check the two pics out, notice how it...

    Monitor for XBOX 360?? (Cheap 1080P ZOMG)

    Couple more questions: -What is an "adapter that has the option for TOSlink or RCA stereo"? -Are you sure that I can get 1080P (albeit downscaled to native resolution of course) over VGA regardless of whether of which monitor I choose? -Do any monitors besides the 2407WFP have the...

    Monitor for XBOX 360?? (Cheap 1080P ZOMG)

    Yeah but that is only with ONE monitor. A monitor that costs $700 I might add... I'd rather have a $300 monitor with HDMI. EDIT: Wait -- are you sure about the VGA cable being able to send 1080P? I thought that was only possible with a select few monitors. Doesn't the monitor itself have to...

    Monitor for XBOX 360?? (Cheap 1080P ZOMG)

    ... But 1080P over HDMI downscaled to 1680x1050 would still look better than if it were scaled up from 1280x1024 over VGA, right? The whole point is to avoid the whole washed out VGA upscaled crapfest.

    Monitor for XBOX 360?? (Cheap 1080P ZOMG)

    Yeah, so I was looking around for a good monitor for the Xbox 360. The first thing I learned is that the only way to go is widescreen, because the Xbox 360 has poor support for 5:4 and 4:3 monitors -- apparently they either end up letterboxed or stretched out. On top of that, it turns out that...

    G80 overclock thread

    ^ Not really, and 900 isn't that low. When people say they have 2000 on the memory clock, they actually have 1000. 1000 is effectively a 2000 MHZ memory clock, which is the number they are using because it is higher.

    Decent 3dMark06 score for 8800 GTS?

    Well I dunno. I had my card flashed at 600/1325/1925(effective) and I got 10105. Then I changed it to 620/1350/1975(effective), and I got 10331. Then I went and made sure my ram timings were rated correctly and I got 10354. My CPU seems to be stable in Orthos, but I guess I could check it again...

    Decent 3dMark06 score for 8800 GTS?

    Strange. My rig is technically superior to either of the two above but it only gets 10354. It could be that my GTS core clock is a bit lower than the OPs, but my CPU is 300MHZ faster w/ a larger L2 cache so I have no idea. Specs: E6600 @ 3.6 GHZ 2 GB Corsair XMS 2 6400 @800MHZ/5-5-5-12 P5W...
