Okay thanks for the info, I gotta update that post.

The viewing angle being slightly narrower was just speculation, not actually specified as fact, although I did list it as a con which probably caused the misunderstanding so I will remove that. Also I'll update mentioning that it is with older S-IPS panels. Thanks for the information about the...

Regarding H-IPS technology, there was a comparison between H-IPS and S-IPS (both LG's technologies) done on a Japanese site which I translated here: http://www.monitorsrc.com/news/the-lg-h-ips-panel/

If it means anything, I use both Linux (ubuntu) and Windows XP on various computers and monitors in my house and I've always found the fonts blurry on Windows (even with cleartune XP). It's one reason of out many why I leave Windows for gaming only.

Brightness: 11 Contrast: 10 Mode: Standard I find this is perfect for me for web browsing/work (a dimly light room). Bright enough for daytime use and I don't have to turn it down at night time. Black detail gets crushed at this level though, so for graphics work I have to bump the settings...

The May firmware update can be seen in the fp241vw model. Whether it fixes those issues remains to be seen.

This is excellent information thanks. What Benq FP241WZ firmware version do you have? I think this would be relevant.

Some news about the new H-IPS panel vs the older S-IPS panel. http://www.monitorsrc.com/news/the-lg-h-ips-panel/

I've put up a section on the w2207 on Monitor Source: http://www.monitorsrc.com/22/hp-w2207-22-review/ Still have a few issues/topics to cover such as ghosting, calibration and text rendering, but that's related to the vertical viewing angle mostly.

If you have noisy movement/dithering in your black/dark areas then you have an "A" panel. If you move around window and notice blocky artifacts you may have a "C" panel. I'm not too sure about this, as only two or three people described it. You can see what people said about their "C" panels...

I've summarised all the issues with this monitor on my Samsung 226BW wiki at: http://www.monitorsrc.com/22/samsung-226bw-review/ Boy, this the most controversial monitor ever.

There was another solution to the "stuck Gateway logo", something to do with selecting the language for the monitor: http://www.monitorsrc.com/issues/gateway-fpd2485w-review-issues/#logos Sorry, I haven't heard of that issue DBRASCO. It's not related to the above issue is it?

No, the FP241WZ is not worth it, especially for what you are doing (a little bit of everything) The FP241WZ has a A-MVA panel rather than a P-MVA panel in the FP241W. There's been no comparison of these monitors so who knows how good it is. (some people have confirmed this, I would like to test...

I assume your from Canada? http://www.shopbot.ca/default.asp?kw=fp241wz&position=search

I don't know about you, but I've never had 480p DVD's look good other than on my small 17". On my 32" Toshiba LCD TV and my FP241WJ they don't look it, naturally. No amount of upscaling's gonna fix it. My suggestion is to sit further back from the screen, or try watching the movie in a different...
