Well, I got my 24" and I have to say, even at default calibration, holy man does this monitor look awesome. Which reminds me, can anyone point me in the direction of good / popular colour calibration software that's free? Thanks again. Cheers!

I do care if there's a major benefit with one versus the other. From what I saw with my own eyes, it looked pretty damn good to me and I'm pretty picky when it comes to monitors and computer hardware in general.

Ok, so I think I've decided to get the 24" version. I went to my local computer store and convinced an old co-worker of mine to set it up on display for me to take a look at it. Seemed flawless to me - no dead pixels, no sign of the Blacklight Bleeding I've seen a few owners of this monitor...

Is that your way of saying go for the 24" version? =P Does anyone know from experience ore research if there any differences (other than size) or any major issues with the 24" version? Thanks!

Hi there, I'm looking to finally turn in my 4:3, 17" screen and dive into the widescreen world and was wondering which of the two would be a better buy. Not sure about you guys, but I don't know if I can justify dishing out close to $1000 for the 27" version. I'm going to be using it mainly...

Yeah I think I'll wait for stores like NC1X to get it in stock so I can return it if I don't like it. My only issue with NC1X is, they take a long time to get products that are new in stock, at least, from my experience, but it could just have been that particular item. Never tried their...

What I don't understand is - if this monitor is already out and people have them, why aren't there any decent reviews yet? You'd think sites like tftcentral would have had a review up in the same week. As for Best Buy, if the price is already around $820 for PCCanada, I don't even want to...

Thanks NCX, is that the only Canadian retailer you're aware of or? Also, your thoughts about the monitor itself? Thanks again. Cheers!

Forgot to mention, I'm actually in Canada and I haven't seen 1 retailer that carries this monitor. Still would like to know if it lives up to the hype and if it is worth it... and if there is anything better around the same price point. Also, can you list these retailers because my search...

Hi There, Ok, so I've skimmed through the few threads regarding monitor, and most have turned into arguments on the AG coating and the supposed terrible backlight bleed. Anyone have info regarding the release date for US and Canada? Is all the hype worth the wait? I've been patiently...

Hello, Just wondering if anybody has any experience with the Accelero Xtreme on the Radeon 6900 series cards (more specifically, the XFX 6970). I've read quite a few horror stories regarding people shorting out their cards or over tightening the screws, etc. I bought the new Accelero Xtreme...

I'm not entirely sure what revision the Accelero is on, I've just read complaints from a good deal of people who've had their cards (more specifically, the Radeon 5970's) physically damaged by an Accelero cooler or simply put, bricked. As for watercooling, it's not really necessary in my case...

Hi there, I picked up my XFX 6970 a couple months back and I'm very pleased with it for the most part. I'd like to mod it with an aftermarket cooler, and I had my mind set on the Accelero for quite a while now until I read a number of reports of predecessors physically damaging cards due to...

So, does anyone have any information regarding release date and pricing of Samsung`s new PLS monitors? More specifically, the 27`one... SA 850 I believe? I only just now after how many years switched from my CRT to an old 4:3 17" NEC, so I'm very eager to go widescreen and I think this is...
