Thnx Gibbo your help has been great through this purchase for everyone

. Obviously this monitor is a great buy with very minor drawbacks and that isn't often the case. Can't wait till I start taking taking pictures with my SLR again.. my workflow is going to be so much better now I have the extra space.

gibbo, what sort of price drop is happening on it 2moro?

toothe · 27 Nov 2007 at 14:01

hehe gamesfreak, thats what i need, would be able to telnet into servers on single monitor instead of looking at two monitors which is less natural

HI there

Well it was a weekend only price, so I can't match that and I did go crazy low but expect to save around £10-£15 off the price on This Week Only deal.

One small bug I am having at the moment.

Using the 360, at 1366x768 (VGA obviously) Looks fine. BUT if I use 1920x1080 then for some reason the screen goes kind of zoomed in, and I am missing a bit of the bottom and top of the screen, and the image is pushed to the left?

Anyone know a solution?

It did that one mine too, I pushed the 'auto' (A) button and it sorted itself out.

dark_angel possibly 1:1 pixel map?

toothe · 27 Nov 2007 at 14:11

Photos aren't the best, will get some better ones later.

Good points -

Looks great
Huge
Zero dead pixels
Good colours
Scales very well
No input lag or motion blue (that I can notice)

Bad points -

Crappy stand
Screen is a little thick

Money well spent

toothe · 27 Nov 2007 at 14:14

Dark_Angel · 27 Nov 2007 at 14:18

im finding it really hard to take a decent photo lol.

anyway, Apocalypto bluray (1080p) at native res on the panel (ie, stretched to 1920x1200) VGA

drunkenmaster · 27 Nov 2007 at 14:27

got my mouse and other stuff, monitor wasn't sent though, although e-mail stated it was all sent yesterday so i've got to wait till tomorrow now to get mine. just frustrating as i only got the mouse and a couple random small bits because i was getting the screen, wouldn't have got them in the first place.

toothe · 27 Nov 2007 at 14:29

does it support HDCP then playing blurays?

Dappy · 27 Nov 2007 at 14:29

pumaz · 27 Nov 2007 at 14:30

pumaz · 27 Nov 2007 at 14:31

Raikiri - What res is crysis running at in your pic? if it's native any chance you could do a 1680x1050 comparison pic?
