Cheap 24" 1920x1200 monitor for the masses? ITS BACK!

Some people have complained about green "sparkles" appearing on the monitor. I have not observed thins on my monitor, but I came across it on a different monitor at work, a Hanns-G 28" LCD. It happened when I switched users - I logged out one user and logged in as another user and the screen was full of green sparkles everywhere! Weird! Cycling the power to the LCD made them go away. This was using my laptop with a DVI connector and ATI Radeon Mobility X1400 video card. So I'm not sure that the sprakles have anything to do with the Soyo LCD (or maybe Hanns-G and Soyo chare some of the same hardware...).
 
I bought the 24" Soyo tonight. I'm using it now. It's a very nice screen. Very bright (almost too bright), very good colors, no dead pixels. The blue LED on the power button was really bright and annoying, but a bit of electrical tape fixed that. Aside form the power button LED looking like a big blue flashlight in my eyes, I'm impressed with the monitor. The scaling looks better than I had thought. And I don't notice ghosting in games or movies - I actually don't notice any ghosting at all.

I'm struggling to figure out how to use all the real-estate on the screen. I'm too used to just having all the windows maxed to fill the screen.

In my experience, the color profile ViperGTS had posted in another thread made some positive and noticeable difference. P-MVA to my knowledge is supposed to be excellent ghosting wise, supposedely better than S-PVA 🙂
 
I think this was answered earlier but I'll just ask again...

So if I want to connect this to a 360/Ps3, all I would need is an HDMI to DVI adapter? I love this monitor but after seeing COD4 on the 360 I'm really interested in a new console instead of a new video card/cpu...

And the problem is that when you do this in 1080 the screen is not correctly centered so you really can't do it?

thanks
