For those who own an LCD...

[Lager]

Do you guys tweak or mess around with the setting until you set it up the way you like or it leave it at default?

 

[loup garou]

DVI takes care of everything.

 

[Nocturnal]

I just left the settings at default.

 

[Ryan]

Have DVI - didn't need to do any adjusting.

 

[NutBucket]

We got a Dell in at work (full system). Just screwed in the DVI cable and cranked the resolution. No tweaks necessary.

 

[Spikey217]

Default

It came with color profiles (warm, neutral, cool). I just left it at neutral.

What's DVI?

Lager - Stop posting

 

Digital Video Interface, AFAIK. It transfers the signal to your monitor digitally, so no adjustment is needed. It's very very nice on my Dell 1504FP.

 

[Shawn]

analog here, and no adjustments really. just pressed the auto position button. that's about it.

 

[PhaZe]

[IGBT]

I turned the brightness down a little and warmed up the color temp.

I use two squares of paper towel and some water. I don't dare touch the screen with anything else. Also, I keep fingers, sneezes, etc. far far away from my monitor.

Paper will scratch plastic. Use cotton.

 

[RossMAN]

DVI default

 

[Dacalo]

Planar DVI with 16ms response time + ATI Radeon 9700 Pro = awesome image quality

What happened to the good old days when Monitors used to turn off along with the PC?

I sometimes push the wrong button trying to turn off the monitor because I can barely see the buttons on the 1800FP. Anyone else?

 

[JaydenChris]

DVI here as well

I heard that the refresh rate has no baring on the monitor. Is this true?

I also unchecked the option to "hide modes this monitor cannot display" and I was able to get 1600 x .... (I forget) but wasn't sure if it might do something to my monitor. So, I put it back to 1280 x 1024.

*I have an Envision EN-9110 (the one that was on sale at Costco on "Black Friday"*

nope. And I don't ever recall A system whose monitor turned off with the PC, most CRT's go into standby, but do does my LCD.

 

[Imported]

DVI, I let it do it's thing.

To clean my LCD, I use a microfiber cloth and some LCD cleaner I bought.

 

[isekii]
