Acer F-19 Stopped working and Acer can't fix it, so are sending me a full refund.
That is the second Acer that broke.
 
Was gonna try and showcase this monitor with some photo's but I'm struggling to get even close to the true quality of the screen. Gonna try and take some better shots of a few other games. Any games in particular??

This is a fairly poor photo shot of GTR in-game.

 
ordered mine gents i let u know how it goes when it gets here

any ideas where to get the latest drivers from?

i checked nec uk and nothing there

thanks

I would recommend proper NEC driver installation. There are 3 possible options! CD or NaviSet or drivers directly from the NEC web site.

If you install the monitor driver from the supplied CD, monitor should be visible in the device manager as "Nec MultiSync 20WGX2(Digital)". Also, you may find the ICM colour profile on the supplied CD and after the successful installation it should be present as "nl20wgx2" (in the colour management tab of the display properties).

Other way around is that you simply install the latest NaviSet software:

http://www.necdisplay.com/naviset/body.htm

and

http://www.necdisplay.com/naviset/forms/download/add.cfm


This application will install the NaviSet (configuration of the monitor via display properties), monitor device driver and colour profile. Not sure if there is any difference when you install the monitor driver/icm colour profile manually (either from CD/NEC) or via NaviSet. However, it seems that actual monitor driver and icm colour profile versions tends to differ with both installation methods. When installed by NaviSet, monitor is displayed (in the device manager) as "NEC 20WGX2(DDC/CI)" and colour profile as "DTNF93K". NaviSet will also offer you plenty of the screen test patterns and this could be useful as the general monitor test.

If you don't have a CD or would like to download the latest drivers from NEC, they are available at:

http://www.necdisplay.com/support/m...edinf/files2.htm&title=Display Device Drivers

Just download the small "NEC LCD Monitor Installer". It will detect your monitor and install the appropriate WHQL drivers automatically.

Hope that this will be useful to you.
 
hi igors

thanks again

can you confirm these are newer drivers and are there any fixes or difference from the downloaded ones to the one on the cd pls?
 
Hi there

This monitor just won PC Formats 20" - 24" group test which included the Acer 24", Samsung 24", Benq FP202W 20", Viewsonic 23" and some others, note no DELLs were in the test. Well the NEC won it hands down, PC FORMAT 90% GOLD AWARD. :)

Dogs nuts

Wanted a new 20 inch monitor - where to go for a review, but overclockers forum (as for every other component of my PC)... saw this thread read the comments and ordered within a couple of hours on your recommendations.

All I can say is you all haven't let me down again - brilliant screen, no issues with it at all.

Mostly play Battlefield 2 and a lot of video/photo editing and it is the nuts.

Thanks again
