Looking at replacing my gaming monitor (Ye olde VX922).
I was wondering what the vertical viewing angles are like?
My current monitor is about 1 foot eye level from where I sit, so I get a significant loss of brightness because of it.
I think it's an upgrade in every respect, so I just want to make sure the vertical angles aren't terribad before I get it.

I think my mind is made up now- are there any issues with running a dual screen setup with one screen at 120hz and the other at 60hz?
No issues at all for me. No special setup required or anything, just set both monitors to their native settings in windows or nvidia/ati control panel.
The viewing angles aren't very good - if I stand up by as little as 1inch I can see the bottom of the screen darken slightly. It'd be worth looking into the technical details behind them as this is an area I know nothing about. On the upside though the stand is very adjustable, so getting the right angle is easy.

Been using this monitor for a few months a what a screen! Probably not doing my eyes any good as I pretty much keep it on a bright setting and with an old 19" second display...the brightness and colour difference is immense just looking at one then the other makes my eyes go doo-lally.
Bit annoying that everytime I want to play the PS3, I have to turn the volume up from 30 to 100 and usually have to change the display mode to 'Full'. Anyone know how to counter this?

Personally I do like the 3D kit but can't really do long hours of gaming as it makes your eyes go a bit funny. Playing games like Arkam City on Ultra + 3D is pretty cool but ultimately is a bit gimmicky. I hear FPS are meant to be good with 3D but haven't really got round to doing that yet.
Overall, I'm left a bit underwhelmed by it but at the same time can add a bit more enjoyment to a game. Sort of a hit and Miss, so if you have the money spare I'd say go for it but not at the expense of lets say taking that money out of a computer upgrade budget.

You need to press slightly hard and if you 'swipe' your thumb over it, that tends to get it to turn on. It's a different style to the others but you'll get used to it.

Thanks
I've had a look at the stand on the VX922 and it's super rubbish. Being able to raise and tilt it forward some more will alleviate the problem completely.
Push ze button! Fire ze missiles!
