Well, I will have the long review up next weekend. Sorry but things got in the way this weekend.
That said, I have to say that thus far, I'm blown away by it. Only have it set up and the colors set up, but seriously, WOW!
Like I said, I'll do up a full review this weekend, but in the...
Aye it is...home *sigh*. I miss it.
And thank you. It took a lot of work to get to where I can "afford" that rig.
And I live rent free right now, so I'm not one to complain about the wallpaper ;)
Probably not. See, the 30" Gateway (as are all 30" monitors) is 2560 x1600. I specifically got 2 monitors whose native res. is 1600x1200 so that when turned in portrait as they are, they match up w/ the 1600 aspect of the Gateway. Trying to find non-WS monitors whose native res. is 1600x1200 is...
That's my Gateway XHD3000 flanked by 2 Dell 2001FP's and my Q6600, 4Gig, 8800GT/7900GT rig.
I could not be happier:D save for that one Aero issue I'm having w/ Vista Ultimate 64!
I can't. Since I have the 8800GT and a 7900GT, I have to use a driver that supports both video cards w/ Vista and this is the ONLY one out there that I can use that does support both.
Thanks though.
Anyone else? Please?
And the hits just keep on coming...
Whenever the/a screensaver pops up, the same "diagonal scramble" pops up and it remains there, even after the other 2 monitors 'wake up' for about 30 seconds, then it pops up and clears itself and is then useable again.
Ok, native res is 1600x1200 and I tried 1280x800, 1280x768, and 1280x720. All have the same problem.
I should also add that tried using my new Gateway 30" on the 7900GT "slave" video card and the same problem happened.
Again, this is ONLY w/ Aero. All other themes/appearance settings...
So I just got my new Gateway 30" XHD3000 to go in the middle of my dual 20" Dell 2001FP's and everything is just gorgeous and wonderful, save for one little problem.
I am running Vista Ultimate 64 with a Q6600, 4Gig RAM and an 8800GT for the Gateway and 1 Dell and a 7900GT for the other...
HTH = Hope that helps.
And I'm at work til midnight, but after that, I have all weekend to play around w/ it. Granted I'm no professional reviewer or anything, but I'll give you my impressions over the wknd.
While I can not compare it to other 30" monitors, I can do so vs my dual 20" Dell 2001FP's. I will be picking this up in about 3 hours (going to UPS distribution to pick it up myself), so I can check this out tomorrow or over the weekend. HTH's.
I've been following the XHD3000 defect thread pretty closely as I just ordered one on Sunday. I was told that they are on back order, but I'll have mine by next weekend. I'll give my info once I get it.
