Probably an impossible question to really answer, but I'm wondering if eventually the i3770k would eventually become the cheaper option due to power consumption, would probably take years!

This ended up working perfectly, thanks for the suggestion. Can't believe how long I tried to troubleshoot this problem... thanks again.

Hi, thanks a lot for the reply. The quality of the image on the W2600HP when using the Displayport -> VGA adapter that I currently have is quite blurry and not really acceptable. Would this be improved using a Displayport -> DVI adapter? It's unfortunate that the W2600HP doesn't have HDMI...

So in the end I'm thinking it's a problem with my card ... Windows 7 even says that it isn't Aero compatible, so clearly there is an issue somewhere with the card.

Hi all, still a proud FW900 owner, but have run into an issue with my new install: I've run into a problem trying to run a monitor from my Displayport out on the HD7750. My current configuration: - LG W2600HP running from the DVI out (no issues) - Sony FW900 running from the...

I've gotten my board to post and boot windows with my AMD 710 on the Biostar 790GX board. My problem is that once in Windows, there are some graphic artifacts on the screen, and the performance is questionable. I'm wondering if I should bother trying anything else since it boots fine?

There was nothing in the same price range that I could find in Europe, that was anywhere close to this monitor. I'm definitely happy with it and recommend it basically every time I get a chance. As I said above, biggest issue is that the colors are slightly oversaturated, but I can live with it.

With the amount of savings over other 26" ips screens you can get a calibration device which would somewhat help with the gamut and is something that you should have for graphics work anyways. I thought the brightness issue was dealt with in newer revisions.

I'm gonna re-recommend the LG 26" W2600HP-BF. Why don't you look at this one? 26" S-IPS good price low input lag great color and clarity don't see why you wouldn't?

LG 26" W2600HP-BF done

Hmm, there's been quite a few reports of the Huey not calibrating properly becuase of hardware defaults. I'm not sure how much of a point the Huey has for your if you are manually calibrating with NVIDIA's tool afterwards.

One is just the "H" model which is a TN panel. The "HP" model is the IPS panel. I have the HP, it's awesome, period.

Don't know how you can beat the LG W2600HP monitor for the price and quality.

My 710 unlocks the 4th core and posts properly. Problem is that once I get into Windows, there's some issues with some graphical bugs as well as performance issues. I'm guessing that the 4th core is a dud? The specific problem is that there is some graphical 'tearing' in XP. The temps are...

This monitor being (apparently) available only in Europe in its IPS form seems to make it one of the best deals on the market. I just picked it up on Thursday, seem to have no dead pixels, and the thing is an absolute beauty. The issues that I currently have with are: - the oversaturation...

Do you live in Europe? If so, there's the LG W2600HP as an option and it's bigger than the Dell.

That's exactly at the choice I'm looking at right now as well, except that I'm looking at the G2400WD instead of the V2400W (same panel). I guess it basically comes down to what you'll be doing the most on it, and whether you'll benefit enough from the extra money that the HP costs. Also, if...

Thanks. The Phenom II X4 810 is almost 3x the price of the 7750, while the 710 is about twice as much. I'm considering just upping my budget to the 710, but I may go all the way for the 810 at that point. Too many decisions. Would it be worth it at this point in time to even think...

I'm thinking about maybe moving up to this board: GIGABYTE MA770-UD3 and also upgrading to the 710 Phenom. I can stretch my build a little bit, with the key being stability. Can anybody recomment a board in the same price range that has a good reputation for stability? It's very...

I'd like to throw another one into the mix that I've found for an ice price: HP LCD LP2465 24" / 6ms / 1000:1 / wide / DVI this seems almost too good to be true? PVA panel, solid reviews online, and not a huge price increase over what I was looking at. Anybody have any opinions on this one?

Think I'm going to remove anything in the 26" range from my choice. I'll stick to 24", which is already bigger than the viewable area on my FW900. Are there any other recommendations? Would the LG L246WHX-BN be a better choice for my use than the G2400WD?

Sorry, another mistake, I'll be reusing some drives for this machine. That's not a bad idea regarding the cooler, most of my rendering would be overnight, so if it does decide to ramp up, I'll likely be in the other room anyways. Definitely something to consider. Dropping the cooler and...

The couch is only about 2-3 meters away from where the screen would be. Viewing angles shouldn't matter to much with CAD/design/office use, I'd just like it to not be too horrible when viewing from the couch. Also wondering if there are any viable TV options, but I'm thinking there isn't for...

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc - browsing, movies/tv, some 3D design/rendering 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? - ~$500 - $600 3) Where do you live? - Czech Republic 4) What exact parts do you need for that...

I'm working on a new budget-ish build that I'm trying to make fairly quiet. My problem right now is that I'm not sure whether to sacrifice the card that I currently have listed, for a better CPU for rendering work (something with a higher number of cores). The computer will be used for 3D work...

I've spent about 2 days looking at stupid monitors online trying to find something that meets my needs, unfortunately, I'm still stuck. I'm currently using a FW900, and if I could simply buy another one, I probably would. Unfortunately, even getting this one was a chore, and I haven't seen...

Thanks Cyber, that's too bad. I wish I had like 5 of the FW900s.

Does anybody know anything about the 24" Elsa Ecomo 24H96 (SONY)? I have the FW900 but can't find a second one, and I'd like to get another 24" CRT. I can't find any good info on this anywhere, does anybody know anything about it? Here's some specs...

How can you tell the difference in models?

Thanks for the reply. Is there any noticeable difference in terms of convergence and focus?

Can anybody give me some actual concrete benefits of using the BNC cables over just a VGA cable? I looked through most of the thread, it looks like the differences are negligible, but would like to heard it first hand from somebody who has tried both.

This is probably old news for all of the posters in here, but if you're having any problems getting certain videos to play over the whole screen, even if they're ~16:10, get VLCplayer. It has some options to get rid of any cropping so that pretty much any video you watch will be in full screen...

So what are some tips on keeping this monitor happy? I'm running it at 1680x1050x85hz, hoping that won't push it too hard, so you know, I can keep it forever! Another question, does the Windas setup program help with the convergence at all? It's not that it's necessarily bad, but it could...

Well, just got this thing dropped off, and it's better than I ever thought it could be... :p Seriously, it's incredible. Spent a bunch of time on the settings, definitely happy with the way it looks now, hopefully won't have to get the windas cable too too soon. Only problem is that the USB...

Either I'm not searching correctly, or I'm just an idiot and can't find it, but I can't find any threads on this monitor at all. It actually looks pretty nice, is a decent price, and word on the interweb is that the input lag is actually pretty fair on it. Just wondering if anybody has had...

Does anybody have any pictures of this monitor comparing it in size to a 19" CRT or something similar? I've seen it compared to the 24" LCD only, just want to get an idea of the viewable space with something else than a ruler.

I currently have a P991 that is getting a bit too bright for my liking, so I'm thinking about getting set up with winDAS for my future purchase as well! I've been doing some research but am seriously getting confused here, I'm hoping that maybe somebody in this thread could help me out? I've...

This might actually seem stupid and absurb, but I have a question. The problem is that I found an FW900 in my country, but that it’s over two hours away by train, and I’ll need to find a ride to bring it back home. I don’t want to go all the way out there and arrange for a ride, if it turns...
