I agree with Sqube, get a better video card. Also you might as well get the all copper zalman if you're going to be spending that much money on a system.
Two exchanges and close to two hours on the phone with Dell in two weeks for an almost perfect monitor is good enough for me. It might take a dozen exchanges and hours of phone calls to find a perfect monitor. It's just not worth the extra hassle for me.
As for the stuck pixels only two of...
An update for those considering this monitor.
Just tried out my third 2005fpw the backlight issue is still present but barely noticeable. It was not evident on boot up like my first two. It has 4 stuck pixels only viewable when the screen is all black.
I'm going to keep this one.
I assume the 193P and the 1905fp use the same panel because to my knowledge only four 19" LCD's have a 20ms stated response time. The other two are HP monitors.
My first had the backlight problem and 5 stuck pixels.
My second has the backlight problem but not as bad as the first. It also has 3 stuck pixels and the lower right part of the framing where the buttons are is loose. It will also be sent back.
The MSI 7125 (K8N Neo4) reviewed at tbreak only has 1x slots in addition to the 16x but the slot he was using was definately not 1x. tbreak pic
Is MSI producing two versions of the board or did they scrap the 4x slot so SLI couldn't be run without an SLI board?
Priced from Newegg
A64 3000 (754) $130
EPoX "EP-8KDA3J" $72
PDP 512MB $92.5
17" LCD $240
Total $534.50
Socket 754 and 939 chip prices are about the same the only issue is a lack of sub-$100 motherboards for 939.
You should probably go for the Dell.
The only 19" 20ms LCD's I've found are:
Dell 1905fp
Samsung 193p
HP L1925 and F1903
So I assume they are all using the same panel.
From the AT article here:
"Color Depth: Almost all LCDs today are 6-bit or 8-bit LCDs. This means that each subpixel - Red, Green, and Blue - can display one of 2 to the n shades where n represents the number of pixels. A typical 8-bit LCD can produce 256 shades per pixel, or 16.7M color...
The default listed response time is black to white, it's not possible to determine gray to gray with it.
Some say digital makes a difference but some say they can't tell the difference. If your video card supports DVI I say use it.
The specs listed by manufacturers are only to be used as a...
Could the backlight problem be caused by a loose bezel? Has anybody tried to fix it themselves?
If it's not fixable I might have to go with the 2001fp.
I've been searching for a similar monitor and while searching various sites I found this.
It seems AUO is making a 19" LCD panel with 16.7 million colors and a 8ms gray to gray stated response time. I probably won't be able to afford it but if the specs are true there might be some nice...
