Question for you dual Hanns users... Do you have one connected to a DVI and one to an analog? If so isn't there a difference in the display quality/nature?

I believe most perceive DVI to display a better image, but I didn't notice much of a difference.

Both dvi. Most modern graphics cards capable of powering dual 1440x900 displays should be dual dvi.
I found i noticed some noise at the top of the screen when using vga but its nothing major. I planned to use dvi from the beginning, but if you don't have two dvi connectors its not worth spending a lot of money on a new graphics card just for that.

Well, I'm coming from the direction of it KVM'd (shared) to another secondary machine. Now KVMs don't really support DVI at the moment (except badly and/or for silly money) so it would have to be via the VGA connector.

The Belinea seems to get good reviews for VGA, so it's tempting to just go that way of course...

Why not get the acer? I think its better than this one when used with vga.

Well the Belinea seem to be better than the Acer. Higher contrast and faster response, for less money... + most people think the Belinea unit itself looks better than the Acer?!

Mmm that looks quite good. Is the car included?

Well, I'm about to purchase mine. My current setup is below. Basically I'm selling one of those 17" Sharp's on the right of my setup leaving me with one screen which I can't live with. So I face a choice as wall mounting stuff on our walls leaves me with embedded drill bits, so it's strictly a no-no.

1. Buy two 19" non widescreens but still be stuck at 1280x1024x2
2. Buy a 24" Dell - nice but overkill for my needs, I only require DVI and a bigger res then my current one.
3. Try and fit 2x19" Widescreens nexto my 20.1" Belinea

I'll buy one now, and a week later if I'm confident another one can fit on me desk.

Full size

just got mine and set it up plugged in and working but this shouldnt be "plug and play" under device manager surely :confused:

If the things in the picture were included, screw the Belinea, I'd be going for the Hanns!

Anyone changed the settings for this monitor? something about the picture just doesnt feel right. Maybe its because ive had old crt for the last 5yrs

Nope, i haven,t changed any colour/contrast settings at all..Infact i had the ImageQuest 17" lcd and this displays the colours on the screen far better than that did..

If you have an Nvidia card there is a calibration screen which you can use. There is an auto adjust button on the monitor, press it when viewing the calibration screen or open something with lots of detail and small text on it and press the auto adjust.
I moved from 1 crt 1 rubbishy tft to 2 of these and they are better than both.

Nice tool, how do i get it to run on the 2nd monitor which is the one with the stuck pixel?
Edit: Launch in web browser of course. I'll be really pleased if it works.

FeFiDoh · 31 Aug 2006 at 05:33

You mean the display optimisation wizard joe? I ran through that and tweaked it my self seems to look alright now! Gonna try and get a dvi cable any way.... 360 looks awsome on this tho well impressed so far!

There sure is

, these lcd monitors are a bargain and i am suprised at the quality of them..

ReeMISM · 31 Aug 2006 at 08:34

Guys don,t forget the programme i linked to early in one of my posts only fix stuck pixels not dead pixels..

Joe, run the programme for a while if that doesn,t work dont despair just get your first finger and press it gently on the screen were the stuck pixel is and gently "and i mean gently" massage your finger against the screen or you could use an eraser at the end of a pencil to massage the area were the stuck pixel is..
