Wanted to check back so your's seems like an appropriate post to reply to doing so. I waited long enough for my backordered BFG 8800 GTS OC2 640MB graphics card so I canceled my order. I got it from ZipZoomFly pronto in 2 days for $415 + tax. Got the same model exactly and it works great...

What is the best most effective heatsink + fan air or water cooling using a push pin clip mounting method? I have the Asus P5W DH Deluxe motherboard and the Antec P180 case so the mobo is mounted vertically on the side and NOT flat on the bottom. I just don't want to have to remove my...

Sorry I didn't mention it earlier - When I ordered mine, the first thing I did was look for the card on the shelf and couldn't find it: only the 8600. So I asked a floor salesman and he said they didn't stock it and he checked all other stores and none of them carried it either. So I...

How about a reply to my own post?! This is what I call white hot competition! NVidia is kicking ATI/AMD Radeon right in the gonads to kill their upcoming launch of their new HD 2600 and HD2400 video graphics cards. This is the most vicious situation I've heard of since Rockerfeller set...

I just checked and as of 6/20/07 @ 12:30 PM Pacific time this offer is still going on. If not now: Never. I ordered one online last night. It is on back order but is expected to arrive between 7/3 - 7/12. At this price I just had to go for it. It's going to replace an ATI Radeon...

I recall reading many posts across the Internet WWW from people having many errors on their new systems based on the P5W DH Deluxe. I too was such a victim. I suffered excruciatingly for a solid week. BODs (blue screens of death,) repeated self-resets/reboots, etc. Event Viewer errors...

Finally, all outstanding issues regarding the LG L246WP 24" LCD wide-screen flat panel monitor have been resolved! Fast response, no ghosting, reasonably minimal back-lighting, 1:1 when hooked up to DVI/HDMI or component external devices such as a set top box that receives over the air HD...

I am not a gamer although I plan to get a popular title soon when I upgrade my video card. I'm considering the ATI HD 2600 XT (possibly in CrossFire) when it comes out or maybe the 8800 GTS. I have only watched standard DVDs and a high definition theatrical trailer of "Van Helsing" which...

LG L246WP: SOLVED! - 1:1 screen resolution using DVI/HDMI & Component input L246WP had user controlled 1:1 pixel resolution all along. This WAS apparently an unresolved forum issue that I have just resolved. (I simply thought I should first consult the user manual. It is a PDF document...

"I'll be posting another thead talking about lcd resolution and broadcast television resolution." And here it is. -------------- Originally posted by: grambo - calgary . alberta . canada Does the LG do 1:1 pixel mapping? I'm assuming it is 16:10 1920x1200 default display, whereas your...

LG L246WP-BN 24" LCD and DVI / HDMI & Component video I finally got a chance to hook up my LG L246WP-BN 24" LCD to my set-top box that receives over-the-air digital broadcast television signals using the DVI / HDMI cable and some other component video cables I have. (recalled from shoddy...

"Where did you get it?" RE: L245WP-BN Fry's Electronics in Fountain Valley, CA. As far as the slight black and white gradient test banding: I plan to get a Nvidia 8800GTS 640MB card and I'm thinking this might clear this hardly noticeable banding up. I'll let you know. Also, in...

"Why do you think the DVI is not for a computer??" My best guess is that LG has decided to reduce costs and considers DVI to be a legacy input interface so they eliminated it. Couldn't do this with the all pervasive analog d-sub interface, though. Then they opted for the latest and...

"I was under the impression there is only an HDMI connector on this monitor (no DVI), ... The L245WP-BN is the model number of one you bought right?..." Sorry. I should have said the "DVI end" of the cable that has one end HDMI and the other end DVI. And yes, there is no DVI port on the...

I just want to add my two cents worth: i bought the LG l226wtq bf one week ago. the colors are brilliant. the images are sharp. dvd video is very good. minimal gradient test banding. very good gamma. over all probably the best 22 incher out there. i performed the ghost test using...
