According to users at 120hz.net they say to use a calibration tool for the color settings? They linked a spyder 4 around $120. Is the color really that off we these monitors?

Some people need accurate colors due to their line of work. Most of us seem to be perfectly happy without doing any calibration.
Did you do any calibration at all or was it fine you first plugged it in?
Plugged it in and that's it.
ordered from red-cap Saturday and got my tracking # yesterday. Does it normally take a couple of days to show up ? its blank on ebays and dhl's website
Is the glare on the screen bad with your shimian lite? How well does it do for darker games? Thanks for answering all my ridiculous questions. I just want to make sure I know exactly what I am buying; I really appreciate your help along with all the others.
The Catleaps and Shimians were tested using high end equipment and shown to be calibrated better than a human eye could do it (semi-calibrated?). The Catleap for instance was close to 6500k, 2.2 gamma, and actually had the advertised contrast. There was a tiny touch of extra red in the results.Did you do any calibration at all or was it fine you first plugged it in?

I dunno. It mine said Seattle yesterday today it says its in Korea still.
We know all about www.120hz.net as their board operator is a member here as well. But thanks for the heads up anyway though.Have you guys heard about the 120Hz Catleaps that might be available sometime this month fro $459? I read about it on another board. I think I'll wait to pick that one up.
now its in LA. WTF?
at least yours is in the country, mine is still in the outskirts of seoul
Mine just got hooked up. I didnt expect for it to seem larger than my 26. The stand leaves a lot to be desired but I havent seeen any obvious dead or stuck pixels so I guess its all good.
Which one did you purchase and from whom?
shimian lite from redcap. Seems to work fine,. meh
To the people who had the monitor shipped by red-cap on ebay from dhl express. How long it take to receive it and to what state it ship to ?
That flexing the bezel trick can work like a charm for certain types of backlight bleed.I thought there was excessive backlight bleeding but theres hardly any form a normal viewing angle. I was messing around and flexed the the bezel a little and it actually got rid of most of it.
Clean setup, badass screen Tyler!I just got mine, its a good monitor, but yea, lots of blooming on bottom left and right corners. There is some on the top too, its only noticeable on dark images, Reducing the brightness helps a little. If anyone finds a fix or knows of something to make it better, that would be cool
hmm do hardware calibrators work on these?
So just to make absolute sure.... On the bare Shimian models you can not run past 60hz, correct? Just got a gtx 690 and like this monitor a lot... Bt I still like the motion on the 120hz 23" Samsung s23a750d better
Is is possible to run the IPSMS at full resolution over HDMI? Not for gaming but for document work and some video watching.
Looks like this modified ati driver will get you 110Hz

I searched this thread but couldn't find if this monitor has HDCP. Do these monitors scale correctly if I use an HDMI -> DVI cord to connect my PS3?
