Well, it looks like it's back to working now. I had my other monitor plugged in and the LG turned off for a while, and now it seems to be ok. I'm not sure if it was the monitor, but I'm also exploring the possibility that my video card had overheated and was just messed up. I'm gonna keep it for...

I just wanted to post on here and share my experience. I got this monitor last Saturday from Fry's Electronics, and I price matched BB for $629.99, so I got a good deal. Bought a better quality 9' DVI-HDMI cable at the same time. I was pleasantly surprised with this monitor. No backlight bleed...

+1 interest from me as well. I stumbled upon this today trying to make a decision on a 24" monitor, and this looks like a great deal so far. I might just bite the bullet and be a guinea pig on this one.

Here's a nice little page about it. http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/other/display/lcd-parameters_11.html (Correction, the info about dynamic contrast is on the page right after that one.)

You do know that the only reason you see the flickering is because it's video footage, right? Haven't you ever seen video footage of CRT monitors? They look the same way in a video, but you don't see flickering with them in reality. Other people have said that you can notice the flickering with...

Where did you order yours from?

Speak now or forever hold your peace. It looks like TechOnWeb.com has got the FP241WZs back in stock for now, and all I am waiting for is my tax refund to hit my checking account. I've been keeping up with the thread and it looks like the Z version insures the 1:1 pixel mapping, adds the AMA-Z...

I thought the WZ had a silver frame? Where'd you get it from?

Hopefully someone can give me a short response. I used to keep up with this thread but I haven't in a while. I read the two most recent pages, but didn't seem to get much out of them except that there are newer firmware versions out that now support 1:1? Can someone shed some light on this so I...

So I'm over at my brother's house watching a football game and surfing on his wireless laptop. What I don't understand is how this laptop can have a 17" widescreen display that is capable of 1920x1200 and the smallest you can get in a desktop display of the same resolution is a 23". What is so...

I've always experienced this right after a fresh format and install, but then it's fixed after I install my video card drivers. You might give that a try, either reinstalling your drivers, or if it comes down to, a fresh XP install.

I had a similar experience back in May. There was a LAN party coming up and I needed some new headphones anyway. I did the same thing, used rush processing and faster ship time. They didn't get it out that day (they actually claimed on the order status that they did, but Fedex didn't show it...

I'm tempted to buy three of those, pivot em all on their side and have some surround gaming fun.

With QuadSLI you could have each monitor on it's on video card technically.

Schweet.

Still the GTO would be better than the 7950GT. Especially since the cooling is better, the GTO core is already at 650 MHz and may go higher, and the 7950GTs don't have that great of a cooler, so they tend not to even get past 600 MHz. I don't know how that would change with advanced cooling...

Awesome pics, thanks!

I'm assuming if you played a HDDVD or Bluray (or even 4:3 DVD) through the computer there would be no problem with the pixel mapping then, correct?

I was seriously considering buying this monitor until I came to the conclusion that it would not be able to fit in the space I need it too. Then the BenQ 24" finally came out, and now I'm happy again.

The reason why the Westy is a good monitor is simply for the resolution. It supports 1080p, 1920x1080, where as the monitor you have here is only 1366x768. Most people simply couldn't tolerate desktop use or gaming at that resolution, as it's even less pixels than the standard 1280x1024. If...

I'm really interested in getting this monitor, but the problem for me is a compatible desk. The one I currently have has a hutch, and there's deffinately not enough room between the desk and the bottom of the hutch. If I could find a good desk that could put it at a good height--or at the very...

I think one thing this review clearly shows is that this will indeed be a very high-quality monitor, unlike what most people having been saying that since BenQ normally makes cheap monitors that this one would be the same. From the review it looks like this monitor will be the best thing out...

I like the very first sentence. "24 inches are playing the family 中极" But it's got some good pictures in there.

(ax)^2 + (bx)^2 = c^2 Where a and b equal the ratio of the TV, such that a 16:9 = a:b, and c equals the diagonal of the TV. Solve for x then mutliply by a and b to get the width and height. So for a 24" ws monitor: (16x)^2 + (10x)^2 = 24^2 256x^2 + 100x^2 = 576 356x^2 = 576 Do...

This monitor would be perfect if it had HDCP, but it doesnt.

Depends if it can do 1080p resolution. If it can't then it's most likely 1368x768 or whatever the hell resolution the non-1080p TVs use. There's more than a few people who run the 37" Westinghouse 1080p LCD here for computer use, so maybe they could chime in.

I thought Viewsonic had a really good 20.1-21" LCD. You might want to look for that.

And how exactly would you drag your mouse over if it's... attached to your crosshair? ;)

Samsung 191T - 4,4,4

Also, with the 16:9 aspect ratio instead of the normal 16:10 for computer widescreen, is there any problem setting the right resolution in any games? You only have BF2 screens, have you tried HL2 or CSS?

With that pixel pitch is it real grainy running the desktop or games?

I'll remember to check that when I go back to Fry's to look at it again.

I thought if it used 6 bit+FRC that it would display 16.2, not 16.7 million. Samsung's site says 16.7 million, and the review I posted a link to claims 8-bit, but who knows where he got that info from. On that press release link, the other panels they mention have 16.2 million colors, where...

The Samsung product page shows a 160 degree viewing angle for both horizontal and vertical so maybe Samsung took care of that. I didn't even think to look up what kind of panel it uses. Doesn't seem like as good of deal now with it being a TN. If I do get it, I'll have to line it up next to...

I was in Fry's Electronics today and happened to notice a monitor I hadn't seen anywhere yet, the Samsung 225BW. I've been reading these forums for a little while and trying to find a new monitor to get, and it looks like this may be it. I looked on NewEgg, here, and at the WSGF and found no...
