Ok, so my first 20WMGX2 was DOA. The replacement arrived today. I set it up and fire up BF2. The ghosting is massive. Far worse then my old Viewsonic VP201. I install newer monitor drivers, still no good. So I plug my old 201 back in, just to verify that I'm not imgaining things. It looks pretty good, like it used to. It wasn't my imagination. This time, I don't reboot but just unplug the 201, and plug the new NEC back in. Change the res to the NECs native and fire up BF2. It looks amazing.. like people said it should with this 6ms panel... But, I'm getting these wierd flashes all over the screen (like static).. figuring it was because I swapped the monitors w/o a reboot (not that it's ever mattered before) I reboot, leaving the NEC plugged in. Once windows comes up I'm back into BF2... and back into the massive ghosting again.
What's going on here? This is supposedily one of the best panels available at the time.. and for the few minutes where it seemed to be working, it did in fact look awesome. But that was 2 minutes out of a hours worth of testing and a reboot set me right back to the crap. My previous two flat panels didn't have any of these issues. My vid card has been pumping 1600x1200 for the last year so it's not the issue (7800GTX).
Anyone have any idea's here? if I can't get it to look like it did for those few mins it's going back for sure.. and with the first one being DOA my faith in NEC is dropping pretty quick.
