I've been using my CX48 with ABSL turned off as a PC monitor (heavy daily use) for almost 3 years and have no burn in. I keep the OLED brightness setting at 20. I also use a black desktop background and dark mode for most applications.

Hmmm, not too far away from me. Is that just a recap job or something more?

Thanks!

I noticed NVCC allows you to create a custom resolution with more pixels than the actual output. I think for gaming this is pretty equivalent to using the resolution % slider in game settings. I'd be curious to do some comparison testing.

I am helping a friend put together a build that will be used for deep learning. He is going to start off with a single 4090, but may upgrade to a dual card setup. The motherboard we're using provides only three slots between the PCIe slots, which translates to very little breathing room for the...

I have a CX48 and I love it. It's like an ultrawide except it's also tall. If I was going to buy a new one I'd be inclined to go for the 42" though, 48" is a bit large for regular desktop usage. I find it hard to use the entire screen, the corners are too far away. I haven't had any issues with...

Excuse me if this is not entirely on the topic of the FW900, but figured I'd ask here as this seems to be the place to discuss CRTs... can anyone point me towards some good CRTs that are appropriate for rooms with lots of ambient light? It seems that the Trinitrons, including the FW900 have...

The Macbook Pro with Retina Display was released over 10 years ago with a 15", 2880x1800 panel. Obviously, it was never intended to be used at 100% scaling, but rather to make text and the UI render beautifully. For a long time, Windows did not have good resolution scaling, but now it's quite...

Shame to see that there haven't been too many clean case designs in recent years... some of the old Lian Li's must have taken their inspiration from the Power Mac G5 and were quite nice looking. Even those didn't quite measure up to the G5 case though... always hoped someone would manage that.

Can you explain how you are getting 2560x1920@75hz out of that monitor? The calculator I use says that would require 144khz horizontal, but that monitor only does 121khz. Are you using interlacing or something?

LCD televisions have improved significantly over the past few years in terms of black levels, and not just through dynamic contrast.

2007FP (NOT FPW) is probably the best option. You can pick them up refurbished on ebay for 150-200. The ones I bought were in pretty much brand new condition, so it's a nice deal.

You could try looking for a used 20WMGX2...pretty much the best 20" LCD ever made in my opinion.

I only have one GTX 280, but I play it fairly well on my 30". It's definately not great performance, but it's quite playable. I play maxxed out except for view distance, which I have at 22. The view distance slider doesn't really have a significant graphical impact in my opinion - things are...

WOW, thanks so much! I spent a huge amount of time looking for something like this a while back, and never managed to find anything. Now if only I could remember what I wanted it for in the first place....:(
