2. It's a 22" Viewsonic for $299 and only $15 shipping, awesome price for a quality display!

LOL i hear ya man
 
no hdcp. i just bought it. kind of dissapointed... when black screen i see white on the bottom and top. like my old samsung, just quite a bit more noticeable. it's good and all, but i think i should have gone with the sceptre 22 /w hdcp. dunno though. not sure how those are compared to this. it's just so much bigger than my samsung. it takes up all the space i had left on the desktop. ;p
 
how much ghosting is there in games compared to a 2005fpw?

I think it had a 15ms refresh... or 12... i can't remember...
 
The Sceptre is an online rebate, not mail-in. I did take a look at the Viewsonic in the store and the size brought a smile to my face. Can't wait for the sceptre to arrive tomorrow. :D

I think both are a great buy. I sprung for the sceptre because of the extra input, features, contrast ratio and HDCP compliance....

The viewsonic, on the other hand, is a better known manufacturer with an instant rebate.
 
Just got this monitor, it's absolutely stunning. I am now considering getting another, I definitely recommend it.
 
How is the 1680x1050 resolution at 22"? Since it's the same res as a 20" panel, does it seem to low? Like I've seen 19" LCDs with 1280x1024, which is fine for a 17" but not enough at 19, is this similar?
 
hmm... i've never used a 20" lcd so i dunno how to answer that. It rox my old 19" widescreen though. i was kind of dissapointed with my 19" widescreen when i first got it because my old 17" crt wasnt that much smaller. When i had this sucker on my desk though, i was blown away. it's huge! i wanted a 24" - 30" screen, but this is perfect. i've got like 2 inches of space between my monitor and my desk's hutch. the resolution is good in my opinion though. i wanted a 20" version because it's cheaper and has the same ress, but when i went to compusa and compared the monitors, i saw that the upgrade from a 19" to a 20" wasnt worth it, but the 19" to a 22" was well worth the extra $100. if you've already got a 20" i say no need to bother, but if youre anything below 19" you'll see a big difference. Everything's crisp and clear. only gripe i have is that i can see that the lcd is a little lighter on the bottom and top when watching movies with widescreen. so uniformity is a little off. other than that, i think it's well worth the money. i really do want to try out the sceptre 22" though...
 
I got the Viewsonic a few days ago and so far it's very nice. I don't notice the bleeding that other people have reported. I went from a 19" CRT to this mainly because the CRT was putting too much strain on my eyes. This seems to be better in that respect. However, in terms of color and picture quality my CRT is better. I've ordered the Scepter as well and realistically expect it in a week or so. I will compare the two and keep the one I like. I usually don't do things like this, but I had to lock in both prices and since Costco didn't have both of them on display, there was no way I could make an informed decision. The Viewsonic is doing one strange thing though. After I run and close my aquarium screen saver, some pixels on my wallpaper glow red or green. Now I don't think it's a pixel defect because if I move my mouse pointer over it, they are not there. I also took a screen shot of it and opened it up in photoshop to discover that the green dots get bigger if I zoom in on them. If I open up another app like Internet explorer, the dots are gone. I suspect it could be a problem with my ATI all-in-wonder card. Anybody have any ideas?

If you can take a screen shot of it, then it's not the monitor. Probably the video card.
 
yah it's probably a vid card problem. give it to me! bwahaha. ;p jk. this thing is awesome. i love it. only problem is that i'm runnin it with an integrated graphics card, and can't get to appreciate it to it's fullest. grr... too many flub ups with my video card, and my money's in limbo so i cant do much right now. i notice so many flaws with normal video though, need to get high def content now.
 
Thanks guys, that's what I thought. I'll try to locate a different driver and see if that works.
 
good looking out. I think my 20" Sceptre is about to get a weird flickering issue also, haha. Im gonne exchange that bitch for this ViewSonic, gotta love the Costco.
