    Dell U2412M

    Youtube videos can introduce any number of small artifacts, from cameras or compression. Your assertion that a youtube video could be used for what you're trying to use it for is pretty ridiculous. Crappy cameras have weird ccd scan rates that could introduce tearing easily, flash video...

    ugh, my power supply is dying AGAIN! I think it's only been a little over a year. Trying to decide whether to just buy a U2412 and be through with this soyo garbage.

    matte or glossy

    with glossy you will see the things on your screen combined with the things around you. with matte you will see only the screen.

    HP ZR24w

    It looks like it is stretching to the wrong aspect ratio *AND* overscanning. That's pretty bad. Look at the oval HUD elements -- they are kind of more like circles. Here is what it is supposed to look like: http://media.crispygamer.com/screenshot/Title6605/932981_20090415_790screen003-640x.jpg...

    The driving electronics in this thing are definitely the weakest link. Normally I would point to drivers, but if it just started doing this randomly and it is for SURE not a driver problem, your monitor may have just kicked the bucket. Mine is starting to do little blackouts even though I...

    I want eyefinity on the cheap...what monitors are decent for a small price?

    TNs usually have absolutely terrible vertical viewing angles, while they usually have decent horizontal viewing angles. If you intend to turn them sideways, TN won't work. TN's become practically unusable when turned sideways. Each of your eyes will see different colors and all of the screens...

    Yes, all of your "display turning off" and "need cold restart to get it working" problems are due to the PSU overheating, and the PSU will most likely die. Player-2 is going to get us all the revised unit. If you want a working Soyo in the future, I would jump on the opportunity before it's too...

    16:9 vs 16:10

    Vertical height is what matters. I think if you want a panel that is truly "better" than 16:10 24" 1920x1200 you will need AT LEAST 27" 2560x1440 16:9 panel. For proof: http://tvcalculator.com/index.html?b6099e4f60a5ee33e7c6cec0278bdac0

    Has anyone received a NEW unit with A01 from Dell? I was going to wait for the ZR24W, but honestly, that will probably be a crap-shoot (I've heard HP has some quality control issues) and good reviews could take months to come out. Edit: Nevermind, the guy on the previous page received an A01 on...

    SOYO 24" DYLM24D6 -- How many have problems?

    Mine also died of a supposed power supply issue. The panel was still excellent til the end. Such a shame. It's sitting in the corner. I try to power it up ever now and then, but nobody is home. Using my tiny 14" laptop screen day to day is becoming too much a chore. I may have to replace the SOYO

    New HP LED-backlit monitors announced.

    My LCD is toast, this one looks like the best bet. Is there any reason to wait for this model over the LP2475w though, other than price? Will this panel be better? Worse? Any ideas? I'm in sore need of a new monitor, and if there isn't much difference I will be willing to drop the additional...

    Hi guys, I just had my old monitor (p-mva with 0 input lag) die. I'm looking to replace it, but I have a few questions because I'm new to dell. 1. How is dell's return/exchange policy with dead/stuck pixels? 2. How is the input lag on this monitor? Is there a game mode? 3. I've heard there...

    mine died today, bizarrely. just will not turn on. no power LEDS, nothing. very odd. judging by the thread it must be a power supply issue. i dont have the repair skills to fix it. seems like such a shame to throw away a perfectly good LCD :/ awell. thing didnt have HDCP anyway, I guess.

    ICH10R raid5 hangs system when copying files

    I know raid5 isn't the fastest when it comes to copying. I have a gigabyte ep45-ud3p and 3 1TB drives in RAID5 on ICH10R. I get about ~50 mb/sec writes and ~160 reads according to atto. What I *didn't* expect is that the system becomes *completely unusable* when I copy files to the system drive...

    INPUT LAG TEST RESULTS For P-MVA 6MS screen Result: Amazing. SOYO is behind 4 out of 16 pictures taken, and when it is behind, it is behind by ~5-15ms, or <1 frame at 60fps. Average is like 3.75 ms lag. Definite gaming LCD!

    VGA works perfectly here. I am apt to blame the cable you are using if you have problems. I bought a cable from circuit city for $30 and it was horrible, ghosting and shimmering abounded. I ordered one from monoprice.com and it just came, all of my problems went away!

    SOYO 24" DYLM24D6 Official Thread

    The only thing I hate about this monitor is the source switch (in the OSD). I would much rather have the highlight button be a source switch, as "MODE" would indicate! I'm wondering if it would be possible to mod a source switch by hooking an old programmable SNES controller to the OSD controls :P

    Are TN panels really as bad as everyone says?

    when i look at a tn, i can clearly see that both of my eyes often aren't seeing the same image. i can also see that black on the top of the screen is different from black on the bottom. these things annoy me significantly; the difference is not JUST apparent at extreme angles.

    SOYO 24" DYLM24D6 Official Thread

    image inversion from the bottom is telltale TN. I could tell from the side to be honest: you definitely have a TN. Sorry! Even then it's still not a bad deal, its just not an AMAZING deal like it was before. did that guy ever make the custom enclosure?
