I know the resolution of the iphone is better, I was just surprised at how much better the angle viewing experience was.

They are both IPS and the alleged great viewing of IPS screens is why I bought the ZR24. Although not as bad as my former PVA screen and of course much better then a TN screen, there is a contrast/color shift when viewing my ZR24 at angles. On my iphone4, there is absolutely no change even...

It's an excellent piece of software. I tried that versus BasicColor and was much more pleased with Color Eyes Pro

Yes, I have a spyder 2 and windows 7 and Color Eyes software works fine with it. Can this be purchased for less then the $150 they want on their web site?

I assume that after the ten days you can no longer perform calibrations but will the startup program that loads the profile in the video card LUTs still continue to operate?

Geez, I wish I wouldn't have read that review. I was happy with the monitor but now and eyeballing the contrast and black levels. I don't think it's too bad. Not as good as my PVA but the viewing angle and lack of contrast shift is so much better, I'd still clearly take this monitor.

I have tried both today and had much better luck with Color Eyes Pro, once I figured it out. I have it set for 120 right now but may recalibrate it with a bit higher settings. $175 though, yikes. Can it be purchased for cheaper? I hope that after the ten day period, you just can't perform...

Ok, I will do so. Quick question that I hope gets answered today. If using the hardware calibrator, do I leave the monitor in it's default sRGB mode, or do I switch it to Custom Color?

So until I buy a better device, what's the best software helper to calibrate it by eye? I have a spyder2 express but I don't think I'll waste my time even setting it up (monitor should arrive tomorrow). Of all the monitors I used it on, I've only been satisfied with the results of one.

Guys, what's the best way to calibrate this monitor without a hardware calibrator? I used the EZ Tune software for my Gateway and it wasn't too bad. Does HP include any workable software solutions with the monitor?

Guys, I just bought this lightly used from a friend for a hundred dollars. Did I get a good deal? Color and contrast is fairly good, comparable to my other PVA screen but boy is it a little heater! Killowatt meter says it draws 120W and I can feel the heat radiating off the front of the...

I have one on order but meanwhile have a similar sized Gateway FPD2485W that I bought from a friend for $100 (good deal?). I hope the HP runs cooler. The Gateway is quite the heat source and draws 120W. The picture is pretty reasonable though (PVA). I hope the HP will be a bit better so I...

I've been watching this monitor on Proadvantage where the price seems to jump around on a daily basis. Tonight, it's $295.63. That's an excellent price for this monitor isn't it?

I'm a little nervous, never seen an IPS output before. I asked in another forum for comparisons between a PVA (what I have now) and an IPS and one response was although the poster still preferred the overall view of the IPS, the text and blacks and whites were crisper on the PVA. This is just...

I see many of you have used or upgraded to this from a PVA. I really would like to hear your comparison opinions. I've only ever used a TN and PVA but really love the contrast "pop" of the PVA. I have read the advantages of an IPS, better color uniformity, no contrast shifting, etc, but are...

Anybody here upgrade from a PVA? Are you giving up much in the contrast? That's probably what I like most about my PVA but have never seen an IPS before.

I am specking a system for my friend that in addition to typical home usage, will be used for video rendering and DVD creation. Things such as importing and converting video from her camcorder and creating DVDs from such. I know the CPU of course makes a great difference in video rendering but...

It sucks buying a $500 CPU and then two years later, a $150 CPU will beat it in performance. I'd rather buy a good bang for the buck CPU every couple of years rather then blowing all my wad on one CPU that will then have to last me quite a few years. I find that with this philosophy, it...

Putting together a Athlon 6000 X2 system and other spare parts for gf. What is an inexpensive case with PSU or the two separate, recommendations. No lighted or clear side panels and I'm looking to build on the cheap but want PSU with reasonable confidence will not die right away. Not a power...

Quick question, does the supported monitor driver lower resolutions offer any that maintain the 16:10 aspect ratio? My sister recently bought a cheap 23" Dell display and none of the lower supported resolutions were within the native screen aspect ratio (in this case 16:9).

Quick question, does the supported monitor driver lower resolutions offer any that maintain the 16:9 aspect ratio?

So is this really a big deal for computer use only? For example when I play a DVD thru the software DVD player such as Power DVD, when I enable "full screen" mode, it scales the movie up to fill the screen while maintaining the aspect ratio. Likewise when going full screen on an image using a...

Reviews of the Dell 2209WA state that it's disappointed this monitor does not have this feature. What exactly is meant by 1:1 scaling?

I've seen in the past, don't know if it's still true or not, but Intel will have scheduled price cuts generally known ahead of time and then AMD has no choice but to follow. That's why I originally asked the question but I'm very happy to get the 945 for $135. Thank you again vista_blista.

Wow, thank you very much for the coupon code! Just ordered. What a great way to extend the life of a system for a year or two.

I'm all set to push the button on a Phenom II 945 which is the fast CPU my AM2 mb will accept but wondering if there was a planned AMD CPU price cut in the near future? The is $150 at SuperBiz which is a good price.

Oh I see, that's what I wasn't doing. I have considered the Dell 2209WA to replace my PVA Viewsonic VP230b but wonder if the real estate gained is worth it as I'm happy with the colors and contrast of the Viewsonic. You do gain about 3 1/2 inches horizontally while giving up just a small...

I believe TV Calculator just show's the viewable image size for a certain screen size and aspect ratio in comparison with a reference screen size and aspect ratio image, not the native screen height and width.

Given a monitor's diagonal measurement along with the aspect ratio, is there a web calculator that will calculate the width and height of a display based on that information? I'm ashamed (or lazy) that I cannot readily figure it out from my high school trigonometry. I do believe a 22" 16:10...

It depends. Ideally maybe around three bills which is what I paid for the Viewsonic but of course if deciding to go with the U2410, that would blow that out of the water. Not sure a wide gamut monitor is what I need though. I do edit digital photos but just for friends and fun.

Have you seen both the Dell and the Viewsonic? I read a lot about the Dell and also the NEC231wmi but despite the lower resolution, I think I would prefer a 16:10 versus a 16:9.

If so, what model and what are your thoughts? I am thinking of upgrading to a larger monitor, possibly one of the inexpensive ips panels from Dell or NEC or outside chance the Dell U2410 but love the contrast and color "pop" my PVA Vp930b gives, at least compared to a TN (I've never seen an IPS...

Guys, if this has been addressed in this long thread before then I apologize. Other then the increased display resolution and more then double the price, is the viewing experience remarkably different on the U2410 compared to the 2209WA? Also should someone happen to own my current monitor...
