get in writing wherever possible. Email will do fine but paper+signature is still good :)

If you are after a 4:3 (normal) ratio screen than I'd advise you to look at the viewsonic 19"ers. The vp930 was lauded as one of the best all-rounders and can now be had for around £265 or less if you shop around online. Viewsonic have (I believe) by far and away the best dead pixel cover. I...

you can return most things under the 7 day no reason needed thing, but you will have to foot the bill for the postage. The occasional manufacturer hands out pixel warranties these days, they didn't used to. Viewsonic being the one that springs to mind - you can RMA their VP range (and some of...

you shouldn't have any trouble with video ... divx and xvid etc rely far more on the cpu&ram than the graphics card and even then your system is easily capable of that! Graphics cards require massive power for high speed 3d-rendering, video is simple old 2d :) p.s. I'm also waiting for...

in some games you DO lose the top and bottom but tbh you won't really notice it. BF2 is one game like this - you know, the extra peripheral vision might give you an advantage so instead you lose the top and bottom and get slightly zoomed in. Unfortunately I couldn't make it run at anything other...

dunno if this actually makes sense but you could try make a gif that alternates between all-white and all black every 100ms or so and leave it running (don't look at it if you're epileptic of course ;)) Might just manage to get a pixel or sub-pixel circuit working. Or make a gif that switches...

well, I've got a 9800pro and an xp-m 2500+ with 1.5Gb pc3200, and a widescreen vx2025. I can run quite a few older games (Condition Zero, Ut2k4) at native 1680x1050, but I have to run the newer more demanding games (BF2, FEAR) at lower res 1280x800 where I can. Tbh the vx2025 is doing a great...

I recently went from an iiyama 454 (19" crt) to a vx2025, and I'm not going back to crt. Partly due to the size and weight, partly because of the style, and partly because the picture looks easily as good - it doesn't look the same but it still looks great in it's way - take a little time to...

also seeing as it's taking so long, write them a letter detailing all previous phone conversations (time, date, person you spoke you, what they said or promised) and keep a photocopy. If nothing happens with whatever their warranty states as the replacement period then write again but CC it to...

"White" is what you see when all three subpixels (Red, Green, Blue) are on If the green subpixel is "stuck on" you will see it being green on a black background. "Yellow" I think is a combination of Green and Blue light, so this would explain why you see that okay. Light's a tad different to...

if you want 19" 4:3 then have a look at the viewsonic vp930 - prices for it have tumbled of late to around £265 and it is probably one of the best all-rounders in that screen size. The vx922 is also apparently very good, but lacking the 16.7m colours of the vp930. Another popular option for...

indeed ... it was a hard call betwene it and the vx2025 but after some thought on the matter I decided widescreen would be more fun ... plus some people told me the vx2025 gave a better picture in some respects. Either way I reckon both are good screens

I've seen a prototype HDR display with something silly like 40,000:1 or 100,000:1 (I forget) contrast but I think they're some way off mainstream. The one I saw was at a research day at my uni when a number of research projects (reasonable sized teams of researchers, phds, and people from...

the vp930B is also much much better value now as it's price has dropped to well under £300 Ceapest I've seen it is probably No competitor talk please! for about £260. I went for the vx2025 which is lovely except that my poor old 9800pro is struggling a bit in BF2! :rolleyes:

I think Some of the Samsung LCDs have a glass cover? You can get 26", and possibly 27" versions? Check the online prices then go barter in a store :)

CRT also have a limited dot pitch, and there are still little dots being lit up, it's just that CRT pixels tend to be set out in a less square pattern so the blurring is less noticeable. CRT look better in some senses as you go to lower resolutions because they can draw the picture more...

I'm still running on a 9800pro!! ...I used to run it at 1280x960 ... I'm feeling the need to upgrade now that 1680x1050 is my resolution of choice :rolleyes: bugger, and I thought my bank account was safe for a few months

deja vu... I just bought a vx2025 to replace my VM pro 454 :D I can tell you that with a little fiddling you should get quite a few games running okay on it. BF2 and Condition zero/HL2 seemed to work fine although BF2 required a manual edit of the config. I also had GT Legends running fine...

I had a 454 from iiyama (in fact I still do!) some time ago. Managed to pop something by using the usb hub in it's base about 2 days after it arrived. Phoned Iiyama, described the problem, 2 working days later a van turned up, guy dropped off a replacement 454 and took mine away. Still going...

You should see each screen with a webpage or something open in similarly sized windows, or photoshop, or two documents side by side...also games seem rather nice too (after 5 minutes playing) even if some of them basically zoom in and lop chunks off the top/bottom (BF2). The vx2025 is VERY...
