So I got the newer xBox S (the slim black one) for Christmas. I bought an HDMI -> DVI connector and connected it to the monitor, played some Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and it looks GORGEOUS. (don't worry if the box says DVI -> HDMI, both ends are male, so it will go either way). I was a...

I purchased a Planar PX2611W 26" IPS monitor a little less than a year ago. It is in perfect condition. The screen has no dead pixels or other imperfections. The backlighting is extremely even, I can not see any unevenness on a black screen in a dark room. The bezel and stand are in perfect...

@JaguarSKX Thanks for the heads up. Do you know how bad it is? Hopefully it won't bother me while gaming... but do you know if it occurs while watching DVDs? Or streaming video via xbox live or NetFlix? I appreciate all your input guys, thanks a lot.

Input lag on the 23" ACD shouldn't be a problem. It's an IPS without extra internal hardware that the NEC has, so it should have less input lag. I have a macbook pro, so will it be able to sufficiently manipulate the ACD settings? I pretty much just do web development and web design in...

Hey Everybody, About a year ago I searched and searched for the perfect monitor and ended up settling on the 26" Planar PX2611. What a mistake! The wide gamut is a huge problem for me. Also, the pixel density is too low, and everything looks a little bit grainy/sparkly (the anti-glare...

System preferences. At one time you set Preview to only open in 1 specific space

A matte screen! Even though that would piss me off, as I would rather have a 15" matte screen... but it's better than no matte option at all.

Hey all, I'm trying to figure out a storage solution for myself, and I would love any input from you guys. I have a MacBook Pro on a WiFi network. I need a storage solution for my movie & music library + backup for my web design projects. Ideally, I would love for there to be a Time...

I'll sell you my perfect condition Planar... I want a NEC 2490 :)

Yoma44, If you can, return the monitor and buy a NEC 2490 (bad for gaming though) or an Apple Cinema Display 23". Wide gamut means that the monitor can display a greater range of color. But, most everything (websites, OS, most applications) are all in the standard gamut. The monitor is...

I have color management turned off, using a standard gamut IPS panel, and there is a big difference indeed, with the right image looking much worse.

The sRGB option on my planar does diddly squat. I doubt the dell's would do much, either.

There's nothing subjective about this, the colors are off. Now, you might like over-saturated colors, but that doesn't change the fact that the colors are off. Now, since you like the colors... would you be interested in buying a Planar PX2611W? No backlight bleed, no stuck pixels, perfect...

Yes, you're either kooky or your laptop's screen is off. The image on the right certainly looks worse. -- Re: video When I got my planar, I fired up some 1080p trailers from apple.com Colors did not bother me a bit. In fact, the trailers looked fantastic. Are the trailers +...

Hey all, So I recently purchased the Planar PX2611W, which is pretty much perfect, EXCEPT for the wide-gamut. I'm a web designer, not a print designer, so wide gamut does nothing for me. Unfortunately, I purchased it via NewEgg, so I can't return it :( So I'll have to see if I can sell it at...
