I paid $250 last week (with taxes) that's why it pains me to return it. I wish there was a way to swap it.

You are using DVI right? If not, USE DVI!!! If you must use DSUB, have to tried pressing the autoconfig button?

fvck, i just ordered one. what exactly is ghosting anyway? i play cs sometimes, but i guess i can play it on the other monitor?

I have no problem at all with this monitor. I play CoD and HL2. Then again I'm not all that picky I guess since I use it for other things more than gaming.

Yup, I'm using DVI.

Maybe you'll be lucky and get a Samsung panel. Ghosting is smearing of colors in the moving picture, like a fast paced game or video.

I have the Samsung 1905FP and it still ghosts. It just depends on how sensitive a person is to the ghosting.

ohhh doesnt that happen on all lcd monitors? and when you say that the icons are too big, just how big? take a screen shot a max resolution?

oh yeah, i am on the phone with dell right now to talk about a possible order cancel or switch to the 17

People will complain about anything man. It's just a matter of personal preference. My icons are fine.

i think i will just switch to the 17

 

[RossMAN]

What's the difference between the Samsung and AUO panels?

 

[skywhr]

I have an 1800FP is that a good LCD? How can I tell who made the panel?

 

[cain]

just canceled order, or refused as dell put it.

Because my eyes are crappy, I really prefer a 19" LCD compared to a 17".

I said nothing about icons, don't know where that came from. I just tried playing aBF😀C for few minutes and within a minute or two all I was seeing was a blur and it really did hurt my eyes, took me couple of minutes to recover.

Why do people buy those? Resolution is same as a 17", much bigger pixels.

Because "bigger is better" duh.

yea i wasnt too impressed with it either. bought my gf the 19" one for last christmas. maybe im just not used to LCDs...but everything was too bright and too crisp. i like the softness of my 21" dell crt.

Turn on Cleartype font smoothing.

I have a 1905 with a samsung screen and the ghosting is horrible, so it doesn't really seem to matter. UT is pretty much unplayable. I've played UT on a 17" Planar and it was infinitely better.

Email Dell. I've heard of people going through eight or more monitors (2005fpw) to get one that they liked. They're pretty good about exchanges.

I've thought about it. To be honest I do not feel right complaining to them about perfectly good monitor. It's just not suitable for gaming, I don't think it's a good enough reason to demand a replacement.
