Lucky bastard.

I'm still running a 15" at 1152x864.

Blech.

This is replacing a 15" Sony that died several days ago.. like a screeming rat! It looks like a transformer in it blew, from what I can see. A big black thing, anyway. EEEEEEEEEE!!

Holy smokes! You are going to be squinting like Clint Eastwood by age 25 if you keep that up.

awesome monitor. im using it right now
i do 1152x864 @ 75hz

 

[Viper GTS]

Actually, it's quite comfortable. I would run 1280x960 if it would run at a decent refresh rate, but I can't run it above 60 hz.



I really need to get a 900NF, but I haven't been able to justify it yet. Got bigger &amp; better things to spend my money on (like a Wega).

Well, it works so far! I like that. Time to adjust it.. I hate this part. Am I adjusting it wrong, or is the screen messed a little? I saw some fractured styrofoam, which worries me, but I'm not sure if I did it unpacking.

It could be my eyes too, I was using a Sony 17&quot; Trinitron in the meantime, it's vertically flat but not horizontally..

Edit: I'm thinking that the right side and lower left look like they have less color.. and it's very bright! But, this is the first non-Trinitron I've used in about 7 years. Are these shadow-mask monitors usually brighter, with a little less color definition?

Save the cash for a WEGA, it's worth the money. I was going to wait for progressive scan, but opted instead for composite video and its quite good looking. WEGA is worth the money, just make sure to change the color/brightness settings with a calibration dvd.

yay!

 

[pepo]

hey dude that's tortally cool although I like my SONY better
how does it costed?

 

[Zach]

Cost me $209 after shipping, with a small pair of speakers (found a couple mail in rebates).

I think I have a $50 MIR for it too. Should work it's from Fry's but doesn't mention a retailer, and it's from Samsung. And a $10 for the speakers too.

Got me a cheap KDS VS-195 19&quot;. Run it at 1152x864 and 100Hz

hehe, I'm running my 19&quot; IBM P96 FD Trinitron monitor at 1024x768@85hz right now. I usually run it at 1280x1024@85hz, but since my laptop has an 14.1&quot; TFT XGA lcd screen I usually don't bother switching the resolution(native XGA resolution), when I have it hooked up to the IBM monitor.

1152x864 on a 15&quot; monitor. Wow, the highest I ever ran my old 17&quot; monitor was 1024x768.

I must be going blind ,I used to run my 15&quot; at 800x600,even now with my 19&quot; LG 915FT Flatron 1152x864 at 100hz is good enough for me,no way would I go above 1280x960 max even with a great 2d card like Matrox.
