I tried the 595's, and returned them for the Grado's...

These are going to give you near reference quality in most music types, but they wont handle bass like the 595. But they are completely respectable. So if you want a night club on...
Can anyone confirm what the max refresh rate is? I'm looking for 75Hz, which appears to be what it is, maybe even 80-85.
And if that can actually be set in Win7 without having to jump through hoops (powerstrip)...
I dont get it...you got a bad PSU, sucks, get over it.
Ive been running the HX620 for 3 years. It is overbuilt. Acts like a 750w with the better caps that Corsair tossed in, over the vanilla Seasonic. Even after the switch to CWT, Corsair PSU's are way overbuilt. You get more than you pay for.
Well, it does actually add some things, and if you take what IBM said, to heart, the 45nm is a bit speedier.
If you have a Bravia TV, you can now control everything with one remote.
If you have a receiver that can process bitstream properly, the slim adds the ability to do so with Dolby...
I went to a local Gamestop, and the manager told me they were in fact expecting a shipment tomorrow. Or at very least, that someone from the warehouse in the Chicago area would drop the pre-orders off, or he would be summoned to pick them up. They apparently arrive sometime today.
They were...
LCD monitors are here to stay. Its a matter of quality control, nothing more.
Manufacturers know of the pitfalls regarding LCD technology, but none of them are written in stone. There are such things as perfect LCD panels, but they are few and far between. When people say there isn't, they...
I also had the HP w2207, and my HDTV is also a glossy panel.
The only downside is glare. Which for me doesn't even begin to take away from sharpness and other PQ gains with non matte screens.
During the first few minutes of testing the monitor after unboxing, the anti-glare was very noticeable. This was also on default settings.
Now that it is calibrated, at 0 brightness, its barely noticeable unless Im viewing bright colors or bright whites. Even then I have to look for it...
I think it was the Chinese review, which first confirmed it is a IPS panel, also stated that the 2209WA was built on left over panels from another monitor run by LG, I believe.
Two people over at AnandTech got them today for $220:
"My dell sales rep's name was Sundi Sylvester and he...
I don't really ever foresee the lack of 1:1 mapping to be a problem for me, in terms of how I understand it. In the reviews, its just a footnote really.
I only use this monitor for work that I bring home, or games. Most of which are newer titles that support the native resolution...
@mannequin80, that's where I have it now, and its almost spot on. As far as the service menu goes, given that we have advanced exchange, I wouldn't think that tinkering around in there would hurt the warranty since a new monitor get to us before they get the old one.
The calibration...
As far as some people not being happy; I saw four of these monitors set up and calibrated before I bought mine. The person who bought them prints color labels, so they were calibrated using professional gadgets that I don't think many people have outside of the industry. It was a multi-thousand...
People who are having issues should not have any problem getting it exchanged through advanced exchange. You can tell them the thing doesn't even turn on and they wont know any better. They send you out a monitor and a packing slip for the return.
A company like Dell might not even toss the...
Wow, ordered on the night of the 10th, at my door on the 12th.
Monitors perfect. No backlight bleed whatsoever, no dead pixels. No color shifting I can see. Its just perfect. The build quality is phenomenal.
Its a bastard to calibrate though. Im using Nvidia calibration, and keep...
