    20WMGX2 availability = ouch. Know of any reliable places to nab one? I was hoping to return this 2407WFP-HC and grab a 20WMGX2 and a cheaper 20" to go dual. Looks like that may be a problem now. Where do you forsee the 24-27" market going in the near future? Are we looking at high...

    Hmm. Though I can deal with this ghosting I just have the feeling that there are better options out there. Are there any resources that talk about the blackout problem, and are you aware of which GFX configurations cause this blackout?

    500gigs shown as 390gigs.

    Doing the calculations, I should have ~465gigs, yet I have 390 (shown as 419,000,000,000 bytes). I've heard of not the entire drive space showing up, but don't know much about it. Does anyone?

    I haven't checked this thread in a while, and last time I did there was pretty high praise for the FP241W. I've still got my 2407WFP-HC sitting here, with the return slip beside it. So what's come up on the BenQ?

    Is my memory serving me correctly when recalling that the FP241W had response time issues that the (now discontinued) Z variant rectified? I'm skeptical about dropping $1K on a monitor so this may prove to be a keeper. If I can locate one, is the Z variant worth the $150 premium?

    It's been a while. I'm one of the few 2407WFP-HC owners that experience the I'm sure aforementioned ghosting issue, and I believe I've got until 11/08 to make a decision as to what to do with it. While I could live with it, it is noticeable and gets irritating in games. So my question...

    Whiteboard conferencing capabilities.

    Not quite what I was looking for, but judging by my struggles in searching I'm guessing their isn't many options.

    Whiteboard conferencing capabilities.

    A friend of mine and I began work on a visual product, and being still in its infancy requires a lot of a sketching to bounce ideas off each other. While this was no probably when we lived nearby, he is now 2 states away for school. We'd like to be able to have a real-time (ish) conference...

    If you thought your case was expensive...

    The review on that is hilarious.

    Exactly the same with my monitor. :( Shame because this monitor is gorgeous otherwise, but I can see ghosting in about 60% of the actions I do, not even just related to games. Interesting to note that on HardOCP, there's a small amount of people who are experiencing this issue. What is...

    A comment on the ghosting issue I previous stated on the 2407WFP-HC. While it is possible to detect ghosting in FPSs, so far during regular play I find that I never notice it. If I stop immersing myself in the game and deliberately look for ghosting, it's apparent, but during regular play it...

    I just tested out UT2k4, and there was definitely some noticeable ghosting. If I'm not paying attention/focusing on it, it almost gives the feeling of bloom, a kind of surreal brightness with darkened edges. But standing in front of a pillar and strafing back and forth there is an obvious...

    Completely agreed. I just got mine hooked up a few minutes ago so there's some testing to be done, but it's glorious. Are you using a colorimeter Bernard? If so I'd like to know what settings you're using. I haven't tried the DVI connector supplied with it yet, but judging by it's lack...

    New system, new power supply?

    Would the signs of a 12v rail inefficiency be the same as a power supply that doesn't supply enough watts? What were the signs of 12v lack of amps? I only ask because I'm building a rig almost similar to yours (Q6600 GO stepping, and the 640mb EVGA 8800 GTS) and have a power supply (520w)...

    Is there something I'm missing here? Why is this only $400? http://www.trustedphoto.com/pr...ails.asp?prodid=617933
