I am new to the forum and I also purchased this beast (on ebay from RPC global for $420 shipped) after reading what some of you guys have posted. Limmie give you a little info about me and my quest for video perfection. Before I heard about this monitor, I was in search of the perfect xbox 360 display. I have been to Best Buy and literally hooked up to 12 to 16 different HD televisions (50" DLP, 46" LCD and Plasma, 32" LCD, 30" CRT, etc). I couldn't afford any of the bigger models but I wanted to see the best and the worst. I was left unimpressed (ghosting, trailing, or any fast movements but motionless was sweet) . However I did like the plasma's picture (even with motion), it was as close to CRT than the others, minus the CRT of course. The one TV I fell in love with, was the SONY XBR 960 but didn't have the purchase price. The seller even offered to drop $300 off just to get rid of it, due to LCD and Plasma profits. I later, bought a Sanyo HT30744 30" widescreen HDTV from a friend for little moola. I had little problems but for the price wasn't bad. I was told, monitors might be better for gaming so I purchased the VGA connection for XBOX 360 and connected to a 17" Viewsonic E771 I had laying around. I was blown away. The level of detail, I felt as if I could pick the characters from the screen they looked so life like. So, now I am here. I ordered the Sony GDM FW900, it arrives with a slight scratch onna screen. I'm like, "here we go." I hook up my laptop via BNC and my XBOX 360 via VGA. Imma gamer first, so I instantly pop in Project Gotham 3. My reason for using this game, is it's a 30 frames per second game and from my experience 30 fps games, I have a hard time playing due to it being too choppy. The first thing outta my mouth after powering everything up was, "WTF? Where is the color? Why is this so blurry? and I just got beat! After calming down and remembering the color gain and bias, brightness and contrast I read on this forum I got everything looking real nice (especially after the warm up period). I have played Call of duty 3, Rainbow 6 Vegas, and Chromehounds, but had to adjust the in game brightness higher to get the right picture. The games that don't have in game brightness control look a bit dark (Project Gotham 3, NBA 2K7, and NHL 2K7). But, I was able to play 30 frame per second games without eye fatigue or strain. The XBOX 360 looks a little dry, but it's not the monitor because my laptop does not suffer from this. I am happy with the monitor but I can't turn the brightness up past 25 due to a green tinge and I wish I had a lil more contrast. I guess I will have to get the program you guys have been talking about with the proper cable.
