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.R5Rich said:
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?NeilFawcett said:Hey! Hey! Well done! Bet there's a big grin on your face
Edit: Launch in web browser of course. I'll be really pleased if it works.

Yeah i'll give that a try.ReeMISM said: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..
No but thats a good tool too.R5Rich said:
I hate the way nvidia hide things, let me see if i can find that calbration screen.
Ok, its in the nView desktop manager rather than the display properties/nvidia control panel. Its under the tools tab, click calibration screen, then when its displayed press the auto adjust.
Depends what you want to run. It'll run 2d stuff at 1440x900 just fine as will almost every graphics card made in the last 5 years or so i believe but games will of course get slower as there are more pixels to render.
I have a 6800gt which is about the same era as the X850 and i was pleasantly supprised to find it runs bf2 at a higher resolution without any problems, i initially thought it would struggle.

Cheap cables are fine as its digital. If you were going to get fancy expensive gold plated cables and stuff you should have a got a fancy expensive monitor which this isn't. If this monitor is good enough for you then so is a cheap dvi cable.Shakey_Jake33 said:
As i mentioned above, to switch between inputs you have to: Press menu, scroll to input, press menu again, select your input, press menu again and then scroll to exit and press menu.
Software scaling. Only works with some monitors. See the full list courtesy of Baddass here. Scroll right doen to the bottom. For whatever reason this monitor does not have hardware scaling and does not support software scaling.fobose said:
Thats a no then.Robbie G said:
Only a select few lcd have a zero dead pixel warranty, and you pay a lot for it. If they were all dead pixel free this monitor would cost twice thr price as they would have to bin at least half of the panels. Lcd manufacturing technology has improved a lot but you can never get it 100% defect free. If you want no dead pixels, you have to pay for it. If not, get this and take your chances.Jack Bauer said:Im ordering my self one of these in a couple of days, birthday on thursday
Just wondering how they can get away with supplying them with dead pixels. Surely if the panel has dead pixels then it can be considered to be faulty and is suitable for RMA. More to the point does this mean if any pixels die inside the three year warrenty they are not covered. Sorry if these are nub questions but ive avoided LCDs so far due to my PC mainly being used for games and OCing.
Out of interest, are dead/stuck pixels as noticeable on TFTs as they are on CRTs?
I read somewhere that the only reason there is a refresh rate is to maintain backwards compatability with crts, but i'm not sure.Bubo said:
Thinking about it, a tft could have a refresh rate but i think it just changes whatever pixels it needs to change when they need changing rather than refreshing the whole lot.
I would imagine the difference you're seeing is the response time of the tft which will never be quite as good as a crt. I believe response time has nothing to do with refresh rate on a tft.
Are you using the vga? I hear that dvi gets rid of the noise. It also may get better over time.
I've yet to try dvd playback on mine but video playback is fine, and i did notice some noise when using vga but none at all using dvi.

You can send them back under distance selling for any reason, but that has to be in original condition, within 7 days of purchase and you pay the postage back.maxl said:Hi
I am interested in purchasing one of these monitors however I am a bit concerned about the number of people who are complaining about dead/lazy pixels.
Is it possible to return this model should it arrive with or develop one or more dead/lazy pixels?
I already have the Hanns-G 19" HC194D monitor which is great. It does however have one lazy pixel at the top of the screen which rears its ugly head every so often, however it doesn't take me long to "massage" it back to a working pixel again.
Thanks!
I bought 2 and one has a stuck red pixel and i decided not to send it back.
If you want one with a zero dead pixel warranty you'll have to pay double what you pay for this, and the way i see it you could get one of these and send it back under distance selling and get another and do that several times until you got one that was perfect and it would still be cheaper than getting a more expensive one with a zero dead pixel waranty.
Welcome to the forums by the way. I hope you'll take a moment to join the fold.
I run mine from a 6800gt and i was supprised to find that it runs all my games at full settings at 1440x900 fine. bf2 and cod2 run perfectly.saguy said:
Non native reslutions are not a good idea, i find running bf2 at 1280x1024 is ok but i wouldn't use it if i didn't have to (no widescreen in bf2).
I don't see why you would need to run it at something other than the native res, your graphics card is more than adequate for 14400x900...
