True, but he also said his CRT makes his eyes hurt :) Over to you, OverVolt! P.S. While we're on the topic (sorta)... it might help me if anyone reading this can offer feedback regarding which CRTs/LCDs they considered to be too DIM for them - with emphasis on DIM rather than...

A 17" may really make his eyes hurt, as I mentioned on my post.

Looks like we're in the same boat, you & I. But - before assuming that LCDs would be an improvement to your health, get a load of this: NOTE THAT THIS SITE ISN'T ACCESSIBLE VIA ANANDTECH, RATHER COPY/PASTE IT TO YOUR ADDRESS BAR, THEN IT SHOULD WORK...

Whew, since my last post I've been doing tons of research (& also located gamma/vibrance thanks to Dave Simmons though dimming it didn't help, nor did changing resolution or frequency. Anyway the LCD was touted as flicker-free & low EMF. It's most probably the color plus brightness that's the...

OK everyone, thanks loads for all your advices! So much for embarrassment (though I can't tell you how camouflaged the packing was - sorta like a birds eye view of a snowball on top of a snowball). It's a bit like the classic joke of "hey - is the plug connected?" But this pales beside what...

I may be a perpetual noob :confused: but I never had this with HPs I had at my old job, nor with more recent Okidata OL400 laser, nor with the Epson Stylus Photo "toy" which ran out of ink, whereupon I decided to buy another laser. I don't know where the heck the button on the console is...

I tried finding the manual but couldn't. All I got was this: http://search.hp.com/gwuseng/query.html?col=hpcom+ccen&qs=&qc=&la=en&qm=0&st=1&lk=1&rf=2&uf=1&qt=download+manual&submit.x=13&submit.y=8 I tried all sorts of searches on their site. I also tried the fixyourownprinter site but it...

I just bought a used HP 6L (minus manual) which I thought was a good deal, but now I'm thinking maybe it was a rotten deal, as I can't seem to get it to print. Both the printer & USB cables are properly connected, and in fact WinXP has the 6L defined and checkmarked amid "Installed Printers &...

OK I fooled around a bit and actually, like Jrez said, (except this was under the Geforce4 MX-440 tab) there was a side menu popping out, and when I clicked "Overlay Controls" I found controls for Brightness, Contrast, Hue & Saturation. I dragged the pointers down to the lowest Brightness...

Since you mention refresh rate, it may interest you that during my frenzied researching these past weeks (on all sortsa stuff, not just this issue) I searched for "photosensitive" on Yahoo Groups Home. I came across a group labelled "photosensitive epilepsy" and the people on that group seem to...

To Dave & everyone: My head is in a whirl with everyone on a different track. First of all Dave, you're aware, aren't you, that the fact that I lacked a Color Correction tab may be related to the old '80s monitor? In other words, if I would go thru the bother of hooking up the Samsung (just to...

Dave, I'm sending you a PM which is relevant.

Are there any dealers out there who specialize in selling un-used 1980's monitors - the ones that have dial-knob screen adjustment? Here's why. I'd been having terrible health reactions (such as stabbing stomach pain, nausea, bone pain, etc.) from both my KDS monitor and the flat-panel Samsung...

Thanks so much guys! Gosh, I can't stand the printer, it's slow as a turtle compared to my old Okidata OL400 laser. Do all inkjets have printheads which shuttle back & forth like the dot matrixes do? Or is this one exceptionally slow? Would you by chance also happen to know if it's possible to...

Anyone here ever used Epson Photo printers & know where is the power off button for the Epson Stylus Photo 820? I got it setup & went thru installation, but neither manual nor CD say WHERE THE HECK the Power Off button is!! %#$*@ They just say where the Power On button is (top left w/green...
