Soldato
Hi all.
Well I have purchased the G24 (yes the orange monitor). For a System for my father (not myself)
I would like to comment on the quality of it.
I have found that this monitor blows away any other monitor I have seen. The colour depth is amazing.
I tried the monitor on my own setup prior to using it on the new system. My current system is a E8400, 4GB OCZ RAM, IP35-Pro and a 2900XT. Well my current screen was a CIBOX - I always thought this monitor was good - how wrong was I. The CIBOX had the same pic quality as my previous screen also - the Samsung 913N 19inch.
I plugged the new G24 into my GFX card, at first the picture was poor - I tried to change the resolution to the native resolution of the G24 - gone from a 22inch to 24inch - so a change of native res..
Well Vista didnt give me the choice of 1900 x 1200, so I rebooted.
After the reboot - I thought this is crap - the picture was not clear, grainy etc.
I tried the driver disk - installed the software, the PC wanted to reboot, so I rebooted. I had to set the resolution again.
Omg - the MSN box had colours I had never seen before. The colour was so rich - a little bright though, I spend 5 mins playing with the settings, mainly tweeking the brightness and contrast, and I had an amazing picture. Next thought "games? I wonder how that looks" So I loaded up Crysis, WoW, and Grid.
And again, I got the best picture I've ever seen. All the games I have been playing lately now seemed like I was previously playing them through a set of googles whilst in a tank full of water - the image was so much more crisp. The text in games was by far the best improvement, the text previously now seems like it was jagged, and very unclear - no more though, the picture is pixel perfect, in wow especially (but it uses standard Windows font the other games use thicker text - not 1 pixel wide), the different chat channels are so much easier to spot - the guild chat and officer chat is actually a very different shade of green on screen - I always though the guild and officer chat colour was the same, how wrong was I? Ghosting? Whats that, I didn't have any ghosting whatsoever.
Get one! I know I'm going to get one ASAP for myself
