    Will Anandtech do a comparitive analysis of 20"+ LCD monitors?

    Glad to hear it's in the works, or at least being considered, thanks for the quick response. There is so much to know and look out for when buying an LCD panel these days. I have come to trust Anandtech in their recommendations over the years, and would like to see their pick for best...

    Will Anandtech do a comparitive analysis of 20"+ LCD monitors?

    I would like to see some current reviews from Anandtech on the new LCD monitors, specifically a detailed comparison on LCD 23" and up. Maybe a two part article and a round up of 10 or so of the newest LCD monitors. What are the chances of that happening?

    To Dual Core or Not to Dual Core?

    Though most apps and games are not multi threaded, Windows Xp still performs load balancing, and in effect uses both cores. The new 81.XX forceware now utillizes both cores for gaming. I bought a Logitech G15 keyboard, it has the LCD screen with a performance monitor for Ram and CPU usage. The...

    For all you A64 users, do you have Cool'n'Quiet on?

    I was using Cool N Quiet with my last AMD 754 setup. Games would accelerate and then slow down, America' Army was notorious for doing this in the training scenarios. Ever since that, I never wanted to risk problems and annoyance. So, no CnQ for me these days. You guys are providing some good...

    BF2 crahes randomly - exits to windows

    I was having problems with BF2, but I switched to 81.94 64bit and now I never have to set my affinity. These are the best dual core drivers yet.

    2405FPW Sprouted a Stuck red pixel

    I've gotten every video card off of Ebay for the last 4 years, I always save at least $100, and have never had a problem with Ebay. The secret to Ebay is researching peoples feedback thoroughly and then paying with a credit card through Paypal, many fail safes in that plan. This monitor was $200...

    2405FPW Sprouted a Stuck red pixel

    I tried to massage it with my finger, is that bad? I tried the program that flashes colors at it, same thing, stuck red. Yet the pixels is undetectable on a blue login screen. What is the advantage of the eraser? Thanks for the condolences.

    2405FPW Sprouted a Stuck red pixel

    Oh the misery. I have had this panel for 1 week. I did a color adjustment yesterday, and later that night after playing BF2, which looked the best it ever has with the new adj., a damn stuck red pixel floated tits up on my screen. I searched for 2 months for a pixel perfect screen, got it, and...

    Do I need a new CPU to match my nVidia 7800GTX?

    1680X1050 WS is even tough for a 7800GTX with highest settings and 2XAA in some games, needless to say 1920X1200 will be impossible for 1 X GTX with highest settings and 4XAA 8XAF in some games. If you are buying a 2405, the GPU is a necessary evil, wait for the release of the new 512GTX for a...

    Unofficial Dell 2405FPW FAQ / INFO page 2405

    With 1 GTX and BF2, I wasn't able to run everything at high and 2XAA. So I settled for 1680X1050. I had this problem last night with my Xbox, the random red horizontal streaks, I pushed the component cables in as far as I could and then moved the cables around and the color went perfect...

    Unofficial Dell 2405FPW FAQ / INFO page 2405

    Yes I think the tearing was what I was considering blur early on. This is my first LCD so I didn't quite know what I was seeing or how to define it. I am happy to say my eyes have adjusted and the vsynch and newer drviers, along with a lower res, has fixed my problems. The blur or out of focus...
