    Annoying Resolution Notice

    I also have a Viewsonic - the 8ms 191B so I bet it's very similiar to yours. I also noticed the exact same issue. For me, the blue box will disappear on it's own after a few seconds (but the 1 and 2 keys don't work - just like you). I wrote Viewsonic and unfortunately according to them, there...

    How much do you like using AA and AF?

    Fantastic. Your post along with a couple articles I've been reading this afternoon are really making this clear. Appreciate it.

    How much do you like using AA and AF?

    Looking at the performance measures here: http://www.behardware.com/articles/537/page3.html ...it seems that my 9800Pro is still a great card if I don't enable AA/AF. For those of you with higher-end cards, is it worth it? What I mean is, does your gaming graphics get that much better...

    Is my video card my bottleneck?

    Thanks for replies and the link (great reading). Looks like I'm probably fine on memory, could use an O/C on my processor, but definatley need a new video card. Kipa

    Is my video card my bottleneck?

    My box is about a year old. More and more I'm having to reduce all my video performance settings in order to have good game play. What do you think my bottleneck is and where would you invest $200-400 to improve performance? Thanks in advance and here's my box (all stock settings - no O/C)...

    Best 19" Gaming LCD - There's a new sherriff in Town: Viewsonic 8ms VP191B

    Two weeks later and I am still loving this monitor. I have noticed small amounts of ghosting (during fast sequences in FPS games), but really only because I was looking for it. I also noticed some of the "ghosting-like" blurs caused by the overdrive technology, but both are quite minor, and...

    Viewsonic VX924 -- 4 ms bogus spec?

    Companies are going to market their products highlighting their best attributes and yes, sometimes the stretches they make border on dishonesty. This is what you get when you live in a capitalist society where everyone's goal is to make more money and buy more goods/services. It happens...

    Best 19" Gaming LCD - There's a new sherriff in Town: Viewsonic 8ms VP191B

    Well I can tell by looking at the monitor compared to my TN monitors quite easily. If you still have doubts, I'd shoot AUO or Viewsonic a quick e-mail, then you'd have your answer. Not sure what you were talking about in your response time discussion. I'll let the latency graphs I linked to...

    Best 19" Gaming LCD - There's a new sherriff in Town: Viewsonic 8ms VP191B

    Totally understand - native resolution preferences differ person by person. I changed the title to include "19 inch" now.

    Best 19" Gaming LCD - There's a new sherriff in Town: Viewsonic 8ms VP191B

    For the person who e-mailed me about dead pixels. There were 3 stuck sub-pixels upon delivery: two red and one blue. They didn't bother me a bit - very unobtrusive and I wouldn't have returned the panel because of them. However, I'm happy to say the massage technique got rid of all 3 of the...

    Best 19" Gaming LCD - There's a new sherriff in Town: Viewsonic 8ms VP191B

    L90D+ and 930B - you two are now obsolete as are most TN panels on the market unless price is a big concern to the buyer. --------------------------------------------------------- I've been using this monitor for several days now (from Newegg) and am now ready to sing high praises to it...

    What's the fastest IPS panel/LCD monitor?

    Thanks for the suggestions, but these are both TN panels. The TN panels just have too many shortcomings for me personally. I'm hoping a fast (response time) IPS panel will satisfy my every-so-often gaming habit without too much "smearing", but not have the compromises the TN panels still have...

    What's the fastest IPS panel/LCD monitor?

    I'm looking for a new monitor and have decided that the fastest IPS panel is the way I'd like to go. I'm looking for a 19 inch but would go up in size if that gets me a faster panel. Thanks, GaryJ

    LCD Help [Gaming]

    xtknight, As we all know, there's a lot of misinformation around when it comes to LCD specs with some manufactureres being just as guilty as other sources (either knowingly or unknowingly - who knows). I trust both of these sites, and both list the monitor as having 16.2M colors. From...
