Anyone who's still looking for a high-end CRT may wish to check this out within the next day or so: LINK DELETED This is the best Trinitron monitor Sony ever produced, and according to the auction these are in new/unused condition (which is remarkable considering they were manufactured in...

The first review was about a reconditioned unit, and the second set of reviews are generally very favorable. All I know is, I've had a Diamondtron running nearly 24/7 for OVER 7 YEARS now, and the only adjustment it has ever required is a slight bump up on the brightness every year or two. John

NEC is currently selling some reserve stock of their FE2111SB CRTs. These are brand new -- not refurbished -- 22" (20" viewable) Diamondtron tube monitors and come with NEC's standard 3-year warranty. The units have been stored in a warehouse since 12/05 for warranty support, and are no longer...

To me, the major benefit of LED backlights is their longevity. I can't justify spending top-dollar for an LCD with a CCFL backlight, when these bulbs lose anywhere from 30-50% of their brightness within the first three years of usage. The new LED backlights lose (according to NEC) only up to...

I don't have time to read through 80 pages of posts, but has there been any discussion of the new LCDs with LED backlights? Specifically NEC's SpectraView and Eizo's high-end line? NEC is claiming 107% coverage of AdobeRGB color space, which is astonishing for an LCD. You think LED...

OcUK is down to £219 for the GS+, and resale value for these cards is beyond ridiculous. You could probably buy one, use it for a year and sell it for more than you paid. As for further AGP offerings, I wouldn't get my hopes up. Gainward is the one and only manufacturer to make a...

Loralon: On what do you base this claim about color gamut? Epson says the R800 actually has a 22% wider gamut than previous models, because of the inclusion of red and blue inks. We've noticed absolutely no degradation of gamut in skin tones etc. as a result of the elimination of lt. magenta...

Thanks. Is Powerstrip enough or are additional mods necessary? I have an Asus 6800 Pure (GF1-DDR) and plan to use Nvidia's 6.49 driver.

1440x1080 is a good compromise, if your monitor can handle it. Maintains the proper 4:3 image ratio. Now if I can only find out if custom resolutions are supported on a GF1-DDR card.. Works a treat on my Matrox G400Max but no one seems to know if it's possible with GF cards/drivers under...
