First new monitor is here.......

..... and holy crap, i don't know if i really needed to order 3 of these things.

Even one is making my head hurt, it's so...... wide.

Looks VERY nice, tho.

had one stuck blue pixel, but i got it out with a little tlc

i can't even imagine what the other two are going to be like //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

Ugh.... GhAY! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

HOW did u really take out the pixel? Just rubbing it gently? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

ya, i just rubbed on it, while turning the monitor on and off

it was $239 on newegg, it's a 20.1"

i wouldn't have gotten a no-name, except this particular model had gotten excellent reviews

only have it hooked up with vga right now, it didn't come with dvi cables, and the cables i bought are still on the way

according to other reviews, the picture quality actually gets a lot better once you use a decent cable

nice monitor how is the picture quality?, i have a Specptre hd tv and i like it.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

the picture quality is very nice. i have a very faint vertical scan line that passes through the display every few seconds, because my video card doesn't support the right refresh rate for the monitor, but it should be a non-issue once my dvi cable gets here.

the monitor wants 70hz, and my video card insists on 75hz //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

trying to install the newer ati drivers, but i need to install microsoft .net 2.0 1st, which requires me to install sp2 before that, even //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

i HATE SP2

Nice, but why do you need 3 of them? Was there another thread about it or something?

x2 what graphics card do you have? using 3 monitors for gaming?

 

[yacob.naif 10+ year member]

naw, i've had a few trailmix-n-match multi-monitor setups in the past, and always wanted to do a proper matching setup one day.

the price was right, so i decided it was time to give it a go.

 

[yacob.naif 10+ year member]

not so much gaming, more just general multitasking with 2 monitors, while being able to use the 3rd to watch a movie at the same time.

it wasn't really necessary, it was just a 'why the hell not' decision.

i'm using a pci-e ati x1300 pro for my primary monitor, and a pci x1300 for my secondary monitors, they'll all be hooked up with dvi, so it should be nice

yea 230 is a pretty good price for that monitor. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
