    Looking for WS 22" Monitor

    I have been using my W2207 for 3 months now. Overall it's a good monitor. The thing I don't like the most is the vertical viewing angle. It's not as good as my old viewsonic VP912. And sometimes when surfing the web, some text looks like it has shadows. I have used Monaco Optix to...

    There's a new 22" in town

    both the 22" and 20" is 1680x1050. i am pretty sure about this, because right now i am using dual output of same image to w2207 and w2007. The w2007 contrast is higher and looks sharper, but the viewing angle from the top definitely favors 2207. And I downloaded checkmon.exe program, the...

    HP w2007 20" LCD

    I have both HP 20" and 22". I can tell you the 20" looks more vibrate. The 20" looks good right out of box, but the 22" needs some adjustments. But even after adjustments, the 20" still looks better. But 22" has better stand, usb port, portrait mode. Their resolution are the same, so 20"'s...

    HP W2207 22" LCD - glossy, height-adjustable, tiltable monitor.. $329 at Circuit City

    Glossy is definitely better. You just have to see it to believe it. I have Viewsonic VP912 and I put glossy film over it. Colors are more saturated and it just look better. I have 2 of the same monitor side by side, one with glossy film one. It's easy to tell the difference. The film I...

    yeah. there is only 1 CPU graph. And I noticed in CPU-Z, it recognize my CPU as Manchester, and my CPU should be Toledo. I did a test and installed a brand new vista on a different Hard drive in my computer, and it is running in dual core.

    6600GT enough for BF2?

    I found a benchmark that compare x800 and 6600gt http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/mainstream_battlefield_2_demo/page3.asp so the finding is there is 6600gt>x800, except at 2xAA, 4xAA. But the frame rate aren't really playable with AA on. I guess I am going to go with 6600GT.

    Watch out for viewsonic vp 912b. It has changed its specs. The coating is no longer Glare, 2H., despite their website said so. They changed it to anti glare coating without telling the buyers. Personally I was upset when I recieved my 912b. And their customer service are pretty useless...
