A whim? I've only had my 17" since 11th grade....that was 7 years ago! I think I can justify getting an upgrade.

He has an older card and Nik was trying to convince him to upgrade it. I would if I were him but then again he doesn't game on it so I guess he doesn't have to.

This is going to sound retarded but maybe I should use analog instead of DVI?

RossMAN, as I was sitting here waiting for pics, I was somehow subconciously lulled into looking for a hot deal for pizza tonight (undoubtedly due to the fact that I was waiting for the Grand Nagus to finish his story).

Anyway, Papa John's had 2 large 2 topping pizzas for $10.99. It's going to be here in ~30 minutes, and I want to look at before and after pics while I eat ham and pineapple pizza.

:beer:

NO

use the NEC Brightness Controller, that does the trick for me!

If you're using a good driver set, you should be able to adjust Gamma and contrast through your Advanced Display Properties. That's what I did; keeps the brightness low for browsing and work, but resets to default for gaming.

Sweet deal on the 2005FPW, I just bought a 19' Dell LCD for under $200 and I'm satisfied with it (but a bit jealous of that extra inch).

Lots of people tend to be jealous of my extra inch... er... on the 2005 I just bought ;)

It really is a sweet monitor. Having a 1680x1050 LCD paired with a 1800x1440 21" CRT is awesome, for once I have more desktop space than I know what to do with
