    HP ZR24w settings?

    With overdrive enabled, the ZR24w has a maximum response time of approx 9ms or less (measured) and is considered one of the best gaming panels due to low input lag (1 frame or 16ms on average). It is visually comparable with 2-3ms TN panels in terms of pixel smearing. There is not ghosting or...

    Samsung 2333T PVA monitor for gaming?

    It's definitely c-PVA which in other panels has not been noted for improving upon S-PVA in terms of either input lag or gamma shift. But compared to a random 5ms unaccelerated TN, IQ and viewing angles are incredible - I'd say go for it. Considering you'll spend approx 200+ for a good TN...

    HP ZR24w settings?

    Bright: 20 Cont: 80 R: 254 G: 255 B: 242 Eyeball calibrated to a sheet of bright white paper in a CCFL lit room. This is about as accurate as I can get for a combination of normal Photoshop work and gaming. If I match it to my printer, things are a bit darker than I'd like. Hues and midtones...

    Need a Graphics card.

    Just look around your local Craigslist or jump on Ebay and see if you can scrounge up a new 8800GT/9800GT or similar. I sold one of my 9800GTX+ cards for just under $90 about a year ago; and considering the prevalence of used 9800's of all sorts, I'd say you have a good chance of picking up one...

    Chirping from video card?

    It's not your video card necessarily. I had the same issue with a Corsair VX450 in an older system - thinking initially it was the video card; but after stripping the whole system down to basically nothing but a PSU, MB/RAM/CPU, and a grounded chassis I found it was coming from towards the rear...

    Good graphics card

    You simply need an AGP card supporting DX9 and SM3.0. Anything from a Geforce 6 and up should work well. Don't be afraid to buy used either; there's tons of people like me who took great care of their previously high end AGP cards. If you want to stick with NVIDIA, I recommend the 6800GS/U...
