Hello all,
I have been lurking these boards for a looong ass time, but I could never setup an account because I just have a hotmail, gmail, and yahoo email account, till now!
anyways, I rececently bought the 2405FPW and received it exactly 2 weeks ago.
Let me start by saying, that the 2D quality is superior to my old 19" CRT Viewsonic Professional.
now to the typical checklist.
No Backlight bleeding - Check!
No Dead Pixels - Check!
No Crooked mount - Check!
No Mouse Lag - Check!
No Buzzing - Check!
the monitor is perfect..
but now, to my concern...
My 20 days satisfaction or money back guranteed is over tomorrow! tomorrow at 6pm to be precise.
this is my beef:
In WOW, it looks beautifull, but when it is dark outside, I see like a slight shimmering on the ground.. kinda hard to decribe.. never seen that before. No big deal.. but just thought it was a little strange
Quake III, it works nice, I run it at 1600X1200.. and it looks good, good FPS.. Im not sure If I dont really notice much because its soo fast action paced. I hadnt played it in a loong time on my CRT.
playing Unrealk Tournament 2003, at 1900X1200 it looks good.. runs fine.. godd FPS..but there is a bit of teearing some times.. I mean barely, but I see it once in a while. Also, the walls.. seem to shake a bit sometimes.. hmm..
Doom3, the colors are great.. the black levels is good, you can tell what is black and what is not so black.. my only beef is that it is displaying a good FPS like 40-50, but is sorta feels that it studders a little bit, and it feels sorta sluggish. I am mainting the resolution lo like 1024X768 w.. not native 1900X1200..
In HL2 I am playing and it is clocking a steady 40-60FPS, but for some reason it feels like lagged.. strange.. a little bit like the character is skating in ice. I am using the option in the monitor that it fills the screen.
I am playing with a resolution of 1280X1024, that with my CRT played perfectly. but for some reason, it feels odd with this LCD. Also in Counterstrike-source it feels sluggish, like it studders sometimes.. the FPS are high, like 50-60s.. but it studders a tad bit.
Movies, it looks great! no complaints.. the blacks are great.. etc.
I have a Radeon 9800pro 256MB mem. I am playing at the settings that it played perfect with with my old monitor.
Argh, this is tough.. what to do? I am being super picky?
Is it me? being crazy? I just dont want to regret this purchase.. because it came out to 950 with taxes.
Is it my being nuts? Are LCDs just this way?
I CANT get another CRT.. I just dont have the space.. (city living NYC)
I have till tomorrow, but I need input.
Please give me constructive comments!
