First of all, don't address me like you know me then start crying about all kinds of random crap like a menstrating woman. You don't even have this monitor and are trying to tell me how it looks, what a joke. I meant to say lowering the backlight of a panel a lot usually lowers the...

The way most LCD's work, they ship with 2.0-2.2 gamma and then you lower the brightness which may cause the gamma to be too dark. Then you *might* have to raise the contrast higher to compensate (but usually don't have to). This panel is the exact opposite, you can lower the brightness all the...

I got one and the out of the box settings are the some of the worst I've seen for any monitor before in terms of gamma and contrast curves. After getting things set relatively decent, it's gonna beat 95% of TN panels in subjective image quality but still pales in comparison to image quality of...

Because the contrast and gamma is set so horribly that it's very easy to get super luminous whites without having your settings perfectly right. The default contrast setting is 75 and the only time 75 is actually usable is with a backlight of one. Raising the backlight to two and 74contrast...

I've now tried just about every possible setting for this panel. Some settings look good at first then I realize the white level brightness will just be downright painful. My new best setting I can find is: 3brightness 73 contrast It has the best combination of gamma levels and black...

Most ridiculous post ever. I own the 42inch kuro and the panasonic 42pz80 plasmas. The kuro has better black level and better colors. Even with the lower resolution, the kuro still looks better for watching TV. The higher rez panasonic is better for gaming, that's the only reason you'd...

50 is usable and stops fringing if you get your contrast and brightness set correctly. 40 and cleartype off looks decent too.

I coulda told you it would be like that. It also has about 100ms input lag. The Samsung 550 or 650 looks 100x better hooked up to PC, has good text and everything and much less input lag. Still too much input lag for me but way less than Sony. I wouldn't buy any current TV's for use with...

Try settings like these, I started trying lower brightness settings and seem to be getting some good results: 1brightness 74con 2brightness 74con 3brightness 72-74con 4brightness 72-74con 5brightness 72-74con 6brightness 72con 7brightness 71con 8brightness 71con 9brightness 70con...

I've spent hours calibrating mine, something like 9 brightness 70 contrast or 10-11 brightness and 68 contrast is the best I can find. Anything with brightness over 11 is nasty. 7-8 brightness 70 contrast is very readable imo. Or even 5-7 brightness and 71 contrast.

9-10 brightness and 70 contrast is the only good setting for this monitor heh. I've tried them all. With other settings, my spyder 2 pro gives me worse results than what the monitor looks like before calibration. With those settings above, it actually gives me a usable calibration that's...

What's wrong with 10-11 brightness and 68-70contrast. 65 sounds a little too muted for the low brightness level.

Mine looks nothing like that, the panel in that picture is at default 280cdm2 brightness with the contrast set to 75. You need to lower the settings to something like 9-10brightness 70 contrast and a black screen will actually look black. 11-13brightness and 68-69 contrast might work too. I...

Already got one, has more input lag than my panasonic plasma though.

Easiest way to calibrate is first correct your contrast setting. 70 contrast seems like the absolute highest you want to use for any brightness level, the panel should have shipped with 70 as the default contrast setting instead of 75. 71 looks like it might be valid but gives off too much...

This guy is definitely blind. The only LCD I've ever seen like that was the NEC 20wmgx2.

My current settings are: 11brightness (146cdm2) Red: as high as it will go Green: 96 (if you click down once it will turn to 95) Blue: 99 (if you click down once it will turn to 98) The strange part about this monitor is, the black level and most shades of grey are set all screwed up...

For anyone trying to get this panel to look right: These panels look like crap till you run nvidia display optimization wizard The background for this site is supposed to be dark navy blue: http://www.spikedhumor.com/ Without running nvidia display optimization wizard, that...

That panel looks pretty bad, the taskbar is turquoise. Not the greatest of examples.

Yes, my logic is so illogical yet 16:9 aspect ratio was created specifically because it was the best for human peripheral vision. I love random idiots trying to talk shit for no reason.

The best calibration I found without using a spyder is: 11 brightness Red - max Green - 96 Blue - Max Sharpness - 40 Gamma set to 45% in nvidia control panel (default is 50) Video card is 260gtx I just noticed the glow goes down a lot just from switching to 11 brightness instead...

Yes, it's so funny that I don't care about destroying an old monitor that I don't use anymore and would just throw away anyway so I'm doing a science experiment on it.

Depends what kind of player you are. Some people use low sensitivity and huge mouse pads and move their arm like 1 foot just to click somebody. I like higher than 1600 dpi even using 1680x1050. Probably not many mice would feel normal to me at 2560x except the new Logitech 5000dpi g9x

Annoying fanboy post. The monitor is $300MSRP for a 22inch. That is a premium price for a 22, not some kind of fantastic deal. Assuming I had paid $299, then I would be expecting a superior image quality and performance to the top 22 inch panels and that is just not the case. This panel is...

Still experimenting with mine so dunno yet. I think 2.05 gamma was too bright, gonna go back to 2.10 or so. At 2.2, it definitely brings the black crush on.

My 2209wa came in. I used spyder2pro and 2.05 gamma (2.2 is way too dark) 12brightness 100red 96green 100blue = 149cdm2 6500k Sharpness set to 40 (it's a little too high at default) The Bad ------------- Whoever is thinking "OOOH It's an IPS, I'm gonna buy it and it will have great...

HansG 28 inch TN, the official monitor of the Chicago Cabrini Greens housing projects

If it's a TN panel, you're not gonna see the top 1/8th of the monitor on the 16:10 due to viewing angle blackout so you might as well get the 16:9 heh

Now that's a crock of shit. You're probably one of those people that comes in 6th place every single time. In my thread about LCD resolutions and aspect ratio, pretty much everyone agreed that the higher resolution you go, the less responsive and less precise the mouse feels. This is on...

Because using a high enough grit is basically the same thing as rubbing notebook paper against it. My idea was polishing the surface, not using an electric sander.

I am no god of 3d but can make pretty much any hard surface object with ease. I wouldn't want anything smaller than a 24inch for doing 3d. I'd probably even get a 30inch Samsung 305T for $999.

What good is a monitor with low input lag when the power supply is going BZZZZZZZZZ at you the entire time it's turned on.

For $420 you can't get much, only option is Dell 2209WA IPS monitor. If you want bigger, $600 for HP2475.

Yea, that will run 2560x WoW but we're talking about real games here.

lol, I learned 3d and hate it. The job of 3d modeler/rigger/animator/texture guy got rated like #3 on top 10 worst occupations in the world on some game site. It even beat out gamestop employee. Unless you're one of those really artsy people that likes to draw every day for your own...

I wouldn't buy it. Backlight buzzing and black level isn't very good. Only monitors I would consider at the moment: - Dell 2209wa 22inch IPS panel - HP 2475 24inch IPS panel - Samsung 305T 30inch for $999 new (yea, it's a S-PVA but only 29ms input lag, less than a NEC 2490, bearable...

16-20ms input lag is about the absolute max I can handle without feeling like my cursor is completely disconnected from my mouse. I can even tell the difference between 226bw (2ms input lag) and 245bw (7-8ms input lag). The 226bw feels practically the same as a CRT while you notice there's...

rofl, I tried playing Quake3 on my NEC 20wmgx2, gave up after about 15 minutes. Just doesn't work. Quake3 is much more fast paced than most other shooters like Day of Defeat or CS. A plasma is about the slowest thing you'd wanna use for that.

Yea, you can see contrast ratio, viewing angles, and white point, but wide gamut doesn't look detrimental when all you're viewing is ocean sunsets that are already neon colored in the first place. You gotta view a picture of skin tones and stuff that isn't supposed to be neon colored to know if...

I was in the same boat as wanting a 26inch but the casing of the T260/T240 is awful. I think you would hate it for the case alone if you bought it. The 2493 series uses the same panel as 245bw, I own a 245bw and while they are ok at first, TN panels over 22inches are extremely annoying due to...
