Thanks. I don't really think a VA panel is an option for me since I'm after a low input lag display, and some of the other things I've read about them have convinced me that I don't want one. It's probably going to be either TN or IPS for me. I suppose you don't think the 2007FP is worth...

Hi xtknight, I ordered a V2400W about a month ago, and despite not being terribly impressed by it I'd decided that I would keep it since even halfway decent monitor choices seem to be disappearing rapidly. However, I've found that I'm pretty annoyed by the TN viewing angles and the...

Thanks. I'm even more convinced that it's the board now, then. I don't have another socket 775 CPU around here to try, though I do have some other sticks of RAM that I could try before sending it back. I doubt that both of my sticks managed to die at the same time, though. I've already...

After running flawlessly for over a year, my system is suddenly no longer starting. What's really strange about this is the way it failed: I first noticed something was wrong when my desktop background had disappeared after I exited from a game. A message popped up in the system tray...

Well, I was initially concerned about it because I know from experience that ~30ms is noticeable to me. I had an LP2065 for a while which was noticeably laggier than a Dell 2007WFP or my CRT -- it wasn't by a huge amount at all, but I could detect it without testing the input lag with a camera...

Do you happen to know whether the G2400WD has the same levels of input lag, or is it closer to the near-zero input lag on the G2400W? Some people have speculated that it's really just a V2400W with a different stand, so I was thinking it might -- I haven't been able to find any information on it...

Well, that's a bit concerning to me. I think the over saturation would definitely get under my skin if it's hard to correct in programs that aren't color-aware/support profiles. I honestly don't understand why LCD manufacturers are pushing this so much when it's clearly not ready -- it's just...

Have you heard anything about how easy the oversaturation of standard gamut material is to correct on the DS-263N? Apparently it has a color saturation option in the OSD, and I haven't heard as many people complaining about the wide gamut on this monitor as on others so I'm assuming it's not too...

Funny, that's actually exactly what I said after trying LCDs for a few months. Then I went back to a CRT.

It's entirely possible that I just got a bad one, I guess. As I said on my post at Hardforum, I have a hard time imagining how anyone could be pleased with it if they were all like that. Not really even a matter of being picky or not -- it was poor in comparison to just about every other cheap...

I finally decided to check out some 22" TNs to see if I'd be any happier with one of those, but I haven't had much luck so far. I narrowed down my choices to the LG W2252TQ or Samsung 226BW since both have very low input lag and were thought to support at least a 75 Hz refresh rate without any...

Actually, I doubt there's anything wrong with the tube. What you described sounds pretty much like a textbook example of the brightness bug to me, and the bug seems to be entirely firmware related. The fix detailed in that thread (reducing the G2 voltage through Windas) should fix it no matter...

Yes, that's me unfortunately. Since I don't think any of the IPS screens I've tried will cut it due to various issues (grainy or overly reflective coating, flickering, etc.), I've been thinking I might try a more modern TN now that I'm not aiming to completely replace my CRT with it. Funnily...

Your CRT hasn't actually "burned out". The later generations of Trinitrons have a firmware issue that causes them to become overly bright as they age. In some cases, it seems to be hastened by using the "color return" function that's in the on-screen menu on a few models. Since yours already...

All right, thanks. I'm going to head down to the Microcenter near me this weekend and see if they have a better selection than Best Buy, which has practically nothing here, and I'll see if they have any of your recommendations or anything decent at all. I'm still a little unsure of VA panels...
