just got my 2001FP today. it's a pretty incredible monitor. there are a few problems i'm experiencing though.
this is pretty specific, so let me give you the full rundown. i'm running a dual monitor setup - the 2001FP and a dell 17" CRT. i'm using the omega 61.77 drivers, and i've used refreshforce to force my refresh rates to a maximum on the CRT. the 2001FP is on my DVI connection at 1600x1200 @ 60 Hz (of course), and the 17" CRT is at 1280x1024 @ 75 Hz (on d-sub). they're both running off my PNY 6800GT.
there are two major problems.
1) in what i believe to be an auto-adjust attempt by the 2001FP, the monitor will go into powersave (blank black screen, amber light), then come back. i am not sure what's triggering this; i'm guessing it's something systematic that i haven't identified.
2) here's the biggie: i'm using media player classic with the matroska pack, along with a few other codecs. when i attempt to play a video in full screen (and, for some, at large sizes), i'm getting terrible scanlines. that may not be the proper term; i don't know how i can describe it. there are sharp horizontal lines jutting out of edges in the videos. i'm guessing it's a codec problem ( that somehow doesn't manifest itself on my CRT), or perhaps a problem with my manual refresh rate overrides. also: it appears that, no matter what i do with the video on the 2001FP (resizing, fullscreen, etc), it's showing up in fullscreen on the CRT as well.
i'd do away with the refresh rate overrides, but i'm still an avid CS player (that's why i'm bothering with the CRT).
