My new Samsung 26" LCD

Just phoned them up and spoke to a delightfully politeful woman, and I got the update arranged to be sent out to me.

Takes 2 business days for the technical department to phone me back with more information on it, but this issue should be fixed soon.

Thanks to all

Is this update (cable and CD i presume) something that could be forwarded on to other people here?

Totally - if anyone needs it after its done, then just give me a shout and I'll mail it soon as possible (quicker than Samsung ;)), also yes it is cd and cable, although I'm unsure of the particular cable. Possibly USB to the hole named Service on the back. I hope it is not serial cable as my laptop doesn't have one and my main pc is buggered at the minute.

I'd be interested in having it next.

Let me know how you get on with it etc, but i have a feeling it's going to be a serial cable. I think i read info to that effect on the avforums.

Do you know how to check what version you LCD is? Again, i remember reading how somewhere else but can't recall now.
 
Bf2 is brilliant on this screen...and the correct resolution can be had just by adding a certain config to the game's shortcut. I posted some pics of it on the first page (if they're still there!)

As for DVI; if there are bring one out with it soon (i haven't heard news to that effect) then by all means wait...but you'll only get a little, if any, improvement. These screens are at superb prices at the moment too...but dont ask me where, cos i dont know!..just seen prices etc posted on this and a couple of other forums.

Seriously, this screen is amazing. Not too big for using Windows on a daily basis, games run brilliantly (no ghosting at all) and if you do get one you'll have no excuse not to attach a nice new xbox 360 to it :)
 
Settings? Nope. Never needed to. I've probably adjusted the colour a bit but there's very little it doesnt cope with well.

One thing i can't do thought it get the PiP function working properly. Not that i'd ever really use it...but the picture comes through fine, just the sound is all messed up.

Sammy arrived this morning 3 days since ordering, very impressed with the quality im using it now :) one minor annoyance though is when the resolution is set to max 1360x768 then there is a slight blur on text running vertically down the screen in places, when set to 1280x720 then its very clear, just i would have preffered to use the higher res :( is this normal,, thanks

No this is not. I have mine running at the full res and dont have any blurring issues.

TRIED&TESTED,
sorry for the caps mate, just trying to get your attention :) Got my new sammy up and running and used the fix you posted earlier to widescreen bf2 and it looks awesome,, just wondering if you know how to enable special forces to widescreen aswell?? searched for an hour and found no mention of SF with widescreen and doing the same fix as bf2 doesnt work unless im doing it wrong :confused: ...all the euro force maps are fine as they fire up with the bf2 vanilla shortcut but special forces is a seperate Icon..

BTW thanks for all the info on the sammy, I was going for the lg but glad I got this one, £480 :D In fact I dont use my 19''tft now as this is so good as a monitor, :)

Got my attention! :)

This is the shortcut i use for SF...

"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +modPath mods/xpack +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1360 +szy 768

Which seems to do the job nicely for me here. Give it a go and lemme know.

£480 is a bargain mate..nicely done. Paid over £100 more than that for mine. Like you say though; well worth it!
