    Just got myself an fw900 last week. Appears to be in good shape. I asked the seller to send me the usage data on that thing. Here is what I got: -------------- Hello it is a little hard to tell. I used it from 2003 until 2008 maybe 5 hours a week maybe less. From 2008 until 2009 for about 18...

    Pressing and holding the RESET button on an FW900

    Please excuse my english. I am not a native speaker. Anyone used an fw900 before? The manual for FW900 says it has a single reset function and then a total reset like hard reset, as in pressing and holding the reset button for more than 2 seconds. My question is what exactly does a hard reset...

    Need help setting up my fw900 with windows xp for the 1st time

    Also, I have read somewhere on the forums that if a CRT monitor is dying, they can compensate for that by increasing the drive. I have no idea what it means.

    Need help setting up my fw900 with windows xp for the 1st time

    :)) good one. I told you explain like you would to a 6 year old. I wouldn't know. The seller said getting calibration done only every so often is not too bad for the life of the unit. So I thought the less frequent the calibration the more life the unit has got left. That is my deep thought...

    Need help setting up my fw900 with windows xp for the 1st time

    Hi. I got a fw900 the other day. Have read the manual and all that. But I still have no clue on how to set it up. some forums say you shouldn't need drivers for windows XP. Others say you do. Instead of the default video to video CRT cable, I got a BNC cable with it. I think it is an RGB to BNC...

    Got myself a fw900 in good condition, what a beast!

    Finally got my hands on a sony gdm fw900 unit. I drove 800 kilometers for mine (400 kilometers both ways). It was a local pick up type purchase. Paid 120 euros for it. The seller told me he had calibrated the unit using Datacolors Spider 4 Elite, to show true colors. He told me he was using the...
