Well thats what was compiled on the Hard Forums, but its anyone guess. Its not like HP is going to come out and shoot themselves in the foot. My guess would be the two A-MVA panels might have been 'refurbished' deals people got.

Its not quite a lottery like the dell panels are. As far as Ive seen there have only been 2 confirmed A-MVA panels, its questionable if HP has switched or not. In any case you just want to contact who your buying from and make sure your getting the latter reversion. Its all labeled on the box so...

No that wouldn't have screwed the colors up, I meant in prelude to what has happen about the refresh rate issue. It most likely didn't have anything to do with it and your CRT is just dying on its own. If your feeling daring though you can crack open your CRT and clean any dust off your PCB...

haha damn I would love to grab one but can you imagine shipping on something that weighs 77 pounds lol, even the best deal in the world shipping pretty much kills it.

Pretty much anything should be able to run your office apps. An 8800GTS would (my best guess here, I dont know what games your talking about) run your games. Probably not with full AA and a native res of 1280 x 1024, but it should run.

The only way I can conceivably think of for a video card to kill a monitor would be if your card automatically set your refresh rate to high. That could kill a monitor after a period of time. In your case though it just sounds like your CRT is just kicking the bucket.

My 6600 GT supports two monitors, so ya an 8800 GTS will. The real question is what are you plaining on doing with two monitors and how much performance do you need from said video card.

If your going for a 20" you might want to consider the HP LP2065, this is what I'll be going with. Spendy but comes with an S-IPS panel which cant be beat for the price. Anything even remotely like it seems you be spending at least $100+ more.

Actually some PVA and MVA panels also have a 178v/h angle or at least manufacturer specs will list them that way, so that doesn't really hold true. errr.. anyway, does anyone know if MVA panels are a true 8bit? With samsungs PVA it seems to be a bit sketchy if its dithered or not, is the MVA...

971P isnt a s-PVA, its just a PVA. Even the buyer guide here has it listed as PVA. Same go for the dell, its a MVA panel. http://www.prad.de/en/guide/ergebniss_v...y=price&order_order=asc&Submit=Compare the HP L1955 is a M-PVA, but I haven't found it anywhere...

Anyone know if there are any 19inch s-PVA/MVA LCD's out there. Its not the type of thing sellers list which makes it tough and most seem to be wrong anyway, I don't know how many times I've seen the samsung 971P listed as a s-PVA.
