BARGAIN - OcUK 24" with DVI (*VA Panel) for £179.99+VAT (This Week Only Deal!!)

fluidz · 1 Dec 2007 at 19:09

Hi mate, Yes i've installed Windows Vista, and i'm on the desktop right now. Am using the VGA cable like Tonys suggested, and it's a perfect fit, plus the auto button works.

But why oh why, when connected via Dvi doesn't the Auto adjust button work?

I'm using the machine for gaming at high resolutions.

Am I the only persos who found this problem? Cheers for your help guys.

My Viewsonic doesn't do it over DVI either, it must be a DVI thing.

Maybe they intercepted the pick up and have taken your monitor for themselves. :eek:

I know I banged on this before, but if anyone could post a picture of this panel with a white clear background. Id be interested to see if there is any shadowing on other panels.

I dont think Im getting any, or whether my eyes are playing games on me, but I just wanted to double check.

Maybe, maybe, both times the clipboard was somewhat not full.

Does anyone know the measurements for this monitor as I have a nice (limited) space on my desk I would like it to fill? Or point me to them if there in this huge thread.

I originally measured a Dell 2407 as very snug on my desk, after placing this on my desk though it turns out the was a fair bit of extra room.

This was the first time I've ever used DVI-D and I haven't had any problems with it. When my monitor arrived, I pulled out the VGA cable from my 7800 GT and plugged the DVI-D one in and it all worked fine, no settings changed (apart from setting res to 1920 x 1200) auto-sync and everything, I'm surprised people have had some many issues with it, I can only think it must be related to specific hardware/software/drivers installed.

Wasn't this £185 + VAT at one point. Running out of stock or something?

It was £192+ VAT for the weekend only, then it was about £225 + VAT iirc now it's down to £214 + VAT for a week.

Would someone be kind enough to post the width and height of the actual viewable area of the screen itself, just so I can size it up in my head?

Many thanks

Tried with my phone but it introduces patterns that are not there when looking at the screen so it's not representative. I have no shadowing, it's very even.

Sold! That's big enough for me, nice one!

Thanks very much for that, mate-

well I have been mulling over getting a 24" or 20" Dell widesceen but was always put off by the cost of the 24" and the lack of size on the 20". Now it appears I am going to get the best of both worlds. Order placed and eagerly awaiting my 1st TFT.

I was always told that size isn't important.
