Let me get this straight, that Switch has HDMI-out, HDMI-in, HDMI-in. So what I need to do is:
1) HDMI-out (360) to HDMI-in (switch)
2) HDMI-out (switch) to DVI-in (Monitor)
3) DVI-out (computer-videocard) to HDMI-in (switch)
If so, then I just need to buy another HDMI-DVI cable and...
I am beginning to think that one of the main flaws of the NEC is the lack of connections. I've been switching back and fourth from PC to my 360 with the DVI connections and it has been killing my ass to do so. It is such an irritation to unhook the device on the back, twist those two knobs and...
I had the exact same decisions. I wanted to get the LG 245 ($600) since it was some $150 cheaper than the NEC, and it also comes with HDMI. I bet that if you can get a good copy of the LG 245 then you've got yourself a good deal with no regrets.
I was just worried of sending it back and...
Is there a difference between HDMI-DVI cable and HDMI-DVI-D cables?
I ordered Belkin HDMI-DVI-D PureAV silver series video cable and received a Belkin PureAV HDMI-DVI video cable? (it says 720p- 1080i). Now are these two cables identical or did they misship/misadvertized?
Holy crap is that how the BenQ maps 1:1?? That is serious loss of real estate. Correct me if I am wrong but other monitors keep the full horizontal resolution and only add small borders at the top and bottom-> Not massive borders all around ala, BenQ.
I am trying to hook up my 360 to this monitor but cannot, Does anybody know how I can do this??
There are no component inputs on this monitor. I will need an HDMI to DVI-D cable? (Can I use a dual 24pin DVI-D head for this or just a single 19pin?)
and as mentioned before- this will mean that I...
I just received this monitor...Holy COW!! Awesome, simply gorgeous. No dead pixels. And puts my 20" Samsung to shame. I was feeling bad because I had thought that I should have picked up a 30" instead but now I am very glad that I did not. Twenty Four is more than enough and I may stack another...
My story begins with buying a Samsung 225 Widescreen with an ATI card about a year and a half ago. The monitor was beautiful but after 14 days, a pixel line appeared on the monitor. I restarted it but the pixel line was there even during windows start-up and it looked permanent. So I returned...
I went with an NEC 2470. Most expensive out of the 24inches but I think because it also has the best quality.
You get what you paid for.
At work I have a BenQ 20 and Dell 20 side by side and the BenQ is a little brighter, the Dell may be more saturated. But the problem with these monitors is...
I agree, you will regret it if you go with a dual 22.
I'd get a 24 and then maybe 6 mos later get another 24 when the prices are around $400.
Or get Dual 30s....WHOAA....nice but realistically too big. Good luck spending 8 hours in front of dual 30s.
It depends. For me I think that a 24" is perfect. dualed with another monitor. I have thought about a 30 but that is just too big for a monitor. But I do plan on owning a 60inch LCD hdtv but that is another thing.
As of this morning, I had the same tough choices- Dell 2407 for $570 or the NEC 2470 for $750 at PCconnection. I decided to go with the A-Grade panel instead although it is almosst $200 more since I do a lot of photo editing. Cannot wait to get it next week.
**edit, I got the 2470WNX-BK instead...
???? So the LG 246 with HDMI is only 1.2 and won't play Blu Ray movies to full potential??
And I was also thinking about the NEC 2470 with DVI-HDCP, now this also doesnt do that even with fancy HDMI-DVI cables. But would it be any less than what I would see on the LG 246 (HDMI)...
So with my original question, I can watch HDcable/1080p movies with HDMI connectors, correct?
and there are some DVI inputs with HDCP- can I use this to watch 1080p HD cable/movies?
And with DVI inputs with no HDCP- can I do the same?
Thanks all, if the Picture Quality of the LG is good then I might settle for an LG 245W- $615 online or the LG 246W- $699 at Best Buy. I think that the only difference is connector locations...then this looks like a good buy.
Also into consideration is the Acer 2423 Which runs at $520 with shipping at Newegg!!.
If this monitor can do what I've described above for 1080p/HD cable etc, then I might want to save some dollars. Unless the quality is so bad or blurry or no 1:1 ratio viewing then it is not a good choice...
Ok, I just bought an Xbox Elite with HDMI to play games and will soon get a PS3 with HDMI to play Blue Ray movies in High Def-1080p. I would also be ordering High Def cable television to watch on this monitor at 1080p. I will also for the most part use it as a PC monitor to do computer graphics...
If he doesn't know much about LCDs and only uses it for Autocad etc, then you can pretty much pick out any 22" widescreen LCDs at Best Buy from $250- $350, and I wouldn't pay more than that. All of them should suit his needs. I'd get a 22" Samsung 246W for $330-ish. Very nice clear picture with...
I am in the exact same predicament.
First I wanted to purchase the:
1. Dell 2407, but then it had problems with connectivity (lack of HDMI)
2. So I wanted the Gateway 2485, but then it also doesn't have HDMI and the panel quality and quality control is shady, (it is the cheapest of the...
