    Looking for AT'er with experience with Gigabyte x38 boards

    Good you to mention this board. I was just looking at the bit-tech.net review on the board and at least the older bios version (F3a something...) which they used had bit "dissappointing" memory performance. Do you know if this any better on the current bioses? The DS5 seems kinda good option...

    I hope too, as the monitor itself is quite good. Though, i wouldnt not recommend it for anything else besides for things like CAD or such. For serious FPS gaming, it is a definite no. Image quality is awesome, high resolution images are just so crisp and detailed that it just blows you away. :)

    Got my HP LP2065 (DOA) replacement yesterday, which i returned back today, and it had same problem as the previous but in the other corner. Both had severe problems with the backlight. I tested and "twisted" the monitor lightly and 80% of the backlight bleed disappeared. I bet anyone with half a...

    Interesting. Im quite surprised what i found but also bit relieved as i can now decrease the banding to a point where its, more or less, unnoticeable. The banding isnt much of a problem actually. The real problem is the backlight bleeding most of the left side. Any picture that has any black...

    LCD Buyer's Guide

    Read the previous post i made, i updated just now. This contrast "effect" clearly has to be some form of a dither algorith or similar. edit: On a side note, HP LP2065 does emit high pitch sound with completely white or black screen. Anyone who has extremely quiet computers etc. would...

    @xtknight Since you have seen quite a few LCDs in your life, how would you rate the bleed on my LCD? edit: Just noticed something with the banding. With certain settings the gradients are identical to my CRT and theres zero banding now. Around 95 contrast the banding is gone. This...

    Im looking the correct charts as im comparing them to the CRT, which im using as my primary display at the moment. The banding is quite bad(understatement), especially with DVI. The czeck review has gradient test and it does have slight indication of banding but its very obvious when you see it...

    I probably overreacted to this "flaw". After switching to using VGA (1600x1200 75hz(?)) and it seems better overall. Gradient was not as bad as before. However, it still obviously banding across the whole range of colors. When i displayed some photos and tried CAD i noticed how much better...

    LCD Buyer's Guide

    Received my HP LP2065 and first impressions were quite shocking. The display looks nice and has no pixel problems, at least for the moment. However the color gradients are absolutely horrific. I just cant believe my eyes when i look at some of the gradient tests. The banding by any standards is...

    Just curious, is there any way to actually test this? I mean, other than seeing the possible dithering or such? Ill definitely look for this in the HP...

    Requesting 20" LCD recommendation

    Ordered myself the HP LP2065 couple of days ago. Havent got it yet, but i think it will be pretty good. Heres czech review of the HP. http://www.svethardware.cz/art_doc-810F7950E9653EA2C125719D004C8195.html and same site, the Viewsonic VX2025wm...

    6-bit S-IPS? No way... Anyways, if i would get buy L2000C and find out (the hard way) that its 6-bit when it clearly says its 8-bit on their site, i would probably shove it up in LG's ***. Not to mention the website specifically mentions " S-IPS Technology" in the specs...

    Im about 95% sure ill be ordering the HP LP2065, so ill see how that works out. First LCD and old display is 19" diamontron. Im probably in for a shock, one way or the other. :)
