    Viewsonic VP171B now available in 8ms model?

    One thing that does confuse me about ViewSonics site is that they don't specify 6-bit (18-bit) or 8-bit (24-bit) color. Or perhaps I'm just not digging around enough. One last note. I've tested the LG 1720P and it's also a great LCD, but all of the LG 17" LCDs are 6-bit, I've confirmed this...

    How do you turn off an NV firewall on an NForce3 MoBo?

    I had a similar startup problem and just set it to "anti-hacking." NV suggests this setting if you're using a SW firewall (Zone Alarm) and it did not interfere with my home network setup. Not sure exactly what anti-hacking provides security-wise, but as long as it doesn't cause a conflict I'm OK.

    Antec SuperLanboy 12" lights?

    membreya: I wasn't sure if a 12" would fit in front of the HDD bays. Do you have the 6" mounted to the window? If so, is it a problem when you need to remove the window for access? Is the inverter mounted tot he window also? I got a dual 6" CC (Flexiglow), but the kit did not come with...

    Antec SuperLanboy 12" lights?

    Looking to add lights to the Lanboy, but wondering if the 12" will fit. Looks like 8" would be perfect, but haven't been able to find any that size. Also, the kits I've been looking at come with a switch, but I'm not sure the best way to mount it. I guess I could drill a hole in a 5 1/4...

    What size cables are you using in your Antec Super Lanboy?

    I'm currently using the cables provided w/ the mobo, but I'm looking to get the 12" floppy and IDE cables from the following.... http://www.paragonca.com/rd3xpgladiator.html Also using the SATA provided with the mobo. It's probably 12" which works fine with it mounted in the front. Might...

    Viewsonic VP171B now available in 8ms model?

    I don't understand why the Viewsonic web site lists the VP171b-2 monitor as "supporting 16.7m colors". http://www.viewsonic.com/pdf/u...ucts/compchart_lcd.pdf How can that be when everyone else claims it to be 6-bit???

    Fast 19" 8 bit LCD - is there such a thing?

    HA!!! Well, that didn't last long. $500 was just too much to bear. I cancelled the VP192b and ordered the new VP171b-2 from Newegg for $350. Sounds good for 8ms even though maybe not 8 bit. Strange Viewsonic site claims 16.7m colors supported. I'm on info overload. Hope this was the...

    Fast 19" 8 bit LCD - is there such a thing?

    Sleepy: I actually saw a post in another thread that said their new VP912B came without the H2 Glare (I believe that's what it is called) surface. It came with the more normal matte finish. The poster called Viewsonic who stated the new VP912b units are coming that way. My existing NEC...

    Fast 19" 8 bit LCD - is there such a thing?

    Well, ordered the VP912b from Dell for $500 (incl tax) and free shipping. Lots of $$$ but seems like a very good value for a high quality gaming monitor. Since it is not scheduled to ship until 3/7, I have a lot of time to reconsider. Just hope I won't regret the decision in a year if prices...

    From Dell - Viewsonic VP912b 19-inch LCD Monitor

    Cancelled my prior VP912b order with Dell last week. The tax pushed it up to $545. Now they are offering 10% off and a $70 coupon. Back in for $500 after tax with free shipping. Still more than I wanted to spend, but sounds like a great deal. Of course it isn't scheduled to ship until 3/7...
