Might be best if they post their brigtness/gamma settings too, otherwise it'd be a bit meaningless

harris1986 · 26 Feb 2007 at 10:27

true but i was just going to take them with a pinch of salt just to give a general idea

could i be really cheeky here and ask someone who owns this monitor to load up counterstrike 1.6 and play de_dust2 and post a few screenshots? 1 of B tunnels if possible just want to see how light/dark it makes it?

thanks i will love anyone who does this long time and they get a e-cookie too

I have just confirmed with the buyer that they are coming in to Manchester tomorrow so I should have mine at home on Wednesday. I will post a review with pics of 1.6 D2 tunnels and also state if it is a samsung panel or an AUO one as soon as I have it up and running.

.

Cheers,

Guru could well be getting the prize of lots of love and a e-cookie

Guru, I'm assuming that by cz you mean condition zero? If so then yes your card will definately be able to handle full res in that game. It's a fairly old game and i don't see any reason why your card won't handle it.

Yeah Condition Zero, it's pretty much the only game I play when I get chance

To be expected.......thank goodness I didn't pre-order

anaftel · 27 Feb 2007 at 16:29

Well I for one am glad they were delayed as the delay made me purchase a Dell 2407WFP which arrived last night ... I can not imagine that the Samsung would be appreciated as much as the screen I got now :-)

Great screen and very happy with my choice, my wallet might be lighter but the cost was worth it

guys, please refrain from moaning about the shop and anti OcUK posts. If you are annoyed about the delay then please contact the shop direct, the forums are not the place to moan about it

harris1986 · 27 Feb 2007 at 21:47

can't wait to see guru's pics of cs 1.6 on this monitor

Why not? Surely these forums are the ideal place to tell our fellow OC'ers whats good and whats not. And frankly after contacting the shop I'd say talking to them was pointless, In fact I'd have got as much join from nailing my own testicles to a table as I did contacting the shop.

Indeed.

My post got removed I guess. Was trying to find out if OCUK had apologised for the delay? or given a reason for it? or even told people who's money they have already got about it?

:rolleyes:

Tried to doubly confirm I'll be getting mine tomorrow by phoning the buyer today but he had finished work before I got home. As they are specifically getting this model in for me and don't sell it in the shop he is the only one who knows they are getting me one so no-one could answer my queries unfortunately. Given the change of date on OCUK I'd imagine I may not get mine tomorrow either

Baddass · 28 Feb 2007 at 07:39

talking about the product is fine, if you're not happy with it's performance then yes, you can certainly tell people. Moaning about the shop, it's stock, and any anti-ocuk talk is not allowed as per the rules of the forum.

thanks

faz123 · 28 Feb 2007 at 15:03

well mine arrived this morning and i can say this is a great screen it just oooozzes quality watched a dvd on it and it was great ive not tried the digital yet as ive only got a No swearing! gcard at the moment.

Lt Goody · 28 Feb 2007 at 18:06

I've never known a monitor being released with this many delays,it was originally 14/02/07 wasn't it.

Guru · 28 Feb 2007 at 18:16

Mine is coming Monday now. By that time I wont even want to use it because my son is being born that day.

Looks like the chances of me doing a review of this one are next to nothing now tbh.

Omnicron · 28 Feb 2007 at 18:25

Now the date has changed again.

Its now 08-03-07

Its almost like they are just pulling dates out of a hat at random for giggles
