Hi Rob sorry for the delay

I sent a webnote at this link about 10 days ago to Technical Enquiry

http://www.digimate.co.uk/contacts.htm

but i got a reply from

http://www.hanton-tw.com
http://www.hanton-tw.com/gambol/CustomerProblemMaintain1.aspx

It must be the Main company and they trade under DGM / Digimate ?

Thanks, I'll give that a try, I haven't had any luck registering the warranty yet, their site is useless.

Hehe... not the best source (apple trailers) but I made a quick mouseover, there's definitely a bit more detail in the 1080p which is more noticeable in motion. (Couldn't get the exact same frame).

Let me know if it doesn't work

There is ever so slightly more detail/clarity with 1080p. However, in a blind test, would you be able to tell the difference, without having the luxury to pause the move footage, focus on small parts of the screen and start analysing? And over what distance - 1.5', 4', 6'?

Raikiri · 6 Dec 2007 at 15:12

I can tell the difference when watching from 3-4' away, further and I can't (but then I do need new glasses).

On a freeze frame, doing the mouse over thing.

What if 2, 5 minute clips were shown - 1080p and 720p. You didnt know which was which. There will be no freeze framing or side by side comparing. You watch one after the other. Would you be able to tell which was which, if your life depended upon it? Or would you 'pass'?

Be honest.

During watching I can tell, fairly easily. I can't exactly do a blind test unless someone else sets it up for me.

Mine arrived at 1pm today, setup was straightforward using DVI, the actual stand (on mine anyway) is fine, it sits on a large mahogany desk, and there is no movement of it whatsoever.

No dead pixels, the colours only needed slight adjustment via CCC (saturation setting)...so all in all I must say I am very pleased with it...only vexed I didn't move quicker and get the weekend special price that was run when it was first listed on Overclockers, but in saying that at a price of £221.99 + VAT it is still great value for money!

Gibbo, you certainly picked a winner here I reckon...cheers!

whats the best settings for this monitor, ordered it ages ago and finally have it set up in my new room with my 8800 Ultra

shep_no_platinum · 6 Dec 2007 at 17:22

dudes?

As mentioned earlier in the thread, I'm not unhappy with 40% brightness, 65% contrast, 54% red, 48% green, and 50% blue. Its down to personal taste though.

There is a 28" screen that OCUK do. They seem to be struggling to sell this as no one is reviewing it or is admitting to purchasing it.

How about it?

If \ocuk want to give me 1 i wont say no and ill test it for them and review it for you all hehe

How do you get that test running? :confused:

Sin_Chase · 6 Dec 2007 at 21:37

Running?

Just use the patterns and read the tooltips and config as required.

I,ve been messing about with the colour settings and at the moment i quit like the standard 9300k setting even though when you first see it the screen has a blue tint but once you get used to it the colours seem to have a better contrast to me.
