Another happy VX2025WM customer

[LOUISSSSS]

Shipped from zipzoomfly for 339.99. shipping took longer than expected. ordered friday of week 1, received on Monday of week 3.. i dunno i just expected a little better. kinda of disappointed at FedEx. they always try to make the customer happy by making it seem that your package comes in later and they ship it to you a day early. my tracking said it was sched to deliver on tuesday of this week, but instead i got it today in the afternoon. had to cut my day early and come home. does fedex think we're kids or something? trying to surprise us with false tracking dates? dunno just seems to be kind of repetitive with me

back to the monitor:
box shipped with no exterior packaging.. only the box and an address sticker on it. kinda of damaged but no major bumps. just some lost color and scratches. nothing damaged on the inside (as far as i can tell). first thing i did.. go to ATi CCC and checked my resolution, had to "Force" 1680 x 1050 @ 60mhz. Then open up my widescreen 24 season 5.. looked sexy (havn't gotten a chance to try a real dvd yet). then opened up CS;Source.. went to options video, widescreen: 16:10 then 1680 x 1050 and maxed out settings. FPS at nothing under 100. silky smooth gaming. was great. stock brightness didn't hurt my eyes at all since i'm upgrading from an analog 19' LCD...

currently i have 2 x mozilla browsers open, one at widescreengaming and other at AT. screen is wide enough to view threads for both.
haven't tried the speakers cuz i don't plan on ever using them. NO dvi problem whatsoever. no dead pixels.

let me know if you have any questions. sorry no digital camera for pics but looks as sharp as newegg's pics.

I was going to start a thread about my VX2025WM that I rec'd today but I saw this one and thought I'd post here.

Overall, I'm extremely satisfied. Coming from a 19" CRT, this thing is amazing. No dead pixels, I love 1680x1050, and the brightness is great. I would definetly reccommend it to anyone.

Is input lag a problem with this monitor?

I came from a 19inch crt as well and i cant see a single thing wrong with this monitor.. and i dont know what "input lag" is but i play BF2 , fear , World of warcraft and have no problems with this monitor..

what is "input lag"?

after i made this post yesterday i put on an original DVD for the first time... "The Siege" and afte about 20 mins of watching it in widescreen i notices the backlight from the corners... its nothing that drives u crazy but you only see it when the monitor is ON and the corners are completely dark.. i can see the light approx 1-2 inches from each corner... nothing major and doesn't distract me from the main movie. you can't see the backlight from the corner with anything other than black on the corner even if you tried to look for it. anyways.. still a great monitor in my books.

i dont think an extra $100 for the next best monitor from newegg is worth it.. (i think the next best was the NEC LCD2070WNX-BK) and that was a 10ms monitor

i just got the viewsonic 20" VG-something. outpost.com had it for $249 - i noticed. i paid
$299. still a good deal. 1400x1050 resolution, slightly bigger pixels. anyway, i like it.
