XA7-19i or XA7-192i

[dsswoosh]

Hi guys, i was wondering if some one can help (someone in the know )

I recetnly purchased the Xerox 19inch xa7 model from overclockers. Overclockers clearly states its the xa7-19i model. Now when i installed the drivers they say i have the xa7-19i model. However my nvidia graphics drivers say i have the xa7-192i model.

I proceeded to install powerstrip and clicked on options, monitor information, which stated i had the xa7-19i model, however i then changed the options from reading data from registry to read data directly from monitor (presumably the most accurate check) and it says i have the xa7-192i model.

Looking on the internet the xa7-19i is quoted as 16ms and the xa7-192i as 8ms. However the overclockers advert states xa7-19i as 8ms.

My box says xa7-19i 8ms which i where i presume overclockers ahve got there product info from.

Can someone please enlighten me on what is what ith this monitor as i dont want to feel like ive been conned.

Thanks

Dan

blimey you guys posted quick, i popped up to the loo after writing and cmae back down and wham, 2 replies

Cheers for the info, i feel a whole lot better now. Im going to multiplays i-event in april and 2 other guys i know have this monitor so we can all compare and have the usual arguments as to whose got the best system

If anyones monitor isnt as good as the others im sure xerox will be getting a telephone call.

One other thing, can anyone recommend a good tft refresh rate tester as me and my mate would like to compare results.

Thanks again.

yeah i know that most advertised times are not comparitive to real gaming, but just something to compare would be cool, ill post the results when weve stopped playing cod 2

His monitor is the same as mine, his syas xa7-19i 8ms through and through, even when read from the monitor in powerstrip, which is really the reason why i posted as we are confused too.

I have a feeling we will get the same results (well im hoping anyway)

Ok i ran that program and the 2 images were exactly the same at 15ms.

Now im slightly worried that i ahve a 16ms model.

Can some1 else please run the test to see what results they get on the XA7-192i.

Many thanks

blimey, on that pixie program i couldnt even do the first flag test, now i dont know what to do with this monitor. I might ring xerox and see what they have to say.

well i must admit i do actually love the monitor

im only guna ring xerox if any1 i see with this monitor has an amazingly better picture quality. But after upgrading from a 17 inch tst 16ms (which was actually pretty good) this monitor is extremely sexy.

Games and films are outstanding, cheers for help all.

Well your not going to get any better picture quality unless you get hold of one of the fabled XA7-192i based on the MVA panel, which im doubting ever existed. The TN panel based one is still a damn nice screen though, although the glass screen is a dust magnet in my room, lol.

i would like to see the mva panel in action, how can i tell if i have the mva by the way? Its hard to imagin how the picture quality could actually be any better? Games and films i experience no ghosting, but if i run monitor test program (the one mentioned above in this post) i can easliy see small text ghosting. If i were to chose a monitor again the only one i would even consider is the 2ms viewsonic, and i havnt seen any in action, my mate had this monitor b4 i bought it and was very impressed.

Only downside ive seen so far is about 2 pixel rows of small black section at top of screen unused when put into dvi mode, 3 people i know have same problem and can not utilise the whole screen. Seriouosly you will never notice unless you scrutinise very closely, and even with this factor into consideration i would buy it again. Its sexy, sleak, and if i eventually buy a xbox 360 i would probably buy this monitor to use it for 360. (decent hdtv too expensive for me yet)
