When I ask the question "I don't get it", I mean as in why are these very popular monitors with only 1 HDMI cable? Even if you use HDMI > DVI, where does that leave all of your other sources? I ask because this has multiple times been touted as a multimedia monitor. Also, Google still hasn't...

I don't get it... they don't come with dvi connections? I just one day shipped a monitor to my place, to find out it only has 1 HDMI & a VGA connection. And what's the difference between the Hanns·G HH-281HPB and the Hanns·G HG-281DPB? Because I apparently just bought the HG which only...

So I used to have a 26" LCD from Vizio that was surprisingly good. I used it for both console gaming, tv/movie watching, and internet browsing (and Photoshop work). Unfortunately last night I smelled something funny coming from the monitor, and now it doesn't work, so I'm looking for a...

A contender in the high end display market? Any reviews yet?

Basically I need to buy a monitor for a friend. It needs to NOT be Wide-Gamut. Needs to be 23-26". Outside of that, that is all I need, as long as the monitor doesn't have too many faults. 400-500 is about the range we are looking for, but feel free to give a suggestion outside that range if you...

I don't know if this exists on this site, but if there was a specific thread for CDW I would definitely give my 2 cents about them so no one did business with them. Yeah if you call them they will say 30 day return policy, NO PROBLEM...when you try to return it, different story, csr reps who...

There is no point. It's like when people dream (and pretty much everyone has done this) about what they would do with a million dollars. Likelyhood of it happening? Next to none. But it's fun to dream though. But if you really wanted to talk about the possibility of this happening, not likely...

Don't get the Planar. Doesn't handle 1080p correctly, Wide Gamut over saturates color (which looks ridiculous in some sources/games/etc).

Isn't the new version the Ikea Fredrik?

I think your confused. There are custom wallpaper packs out there for dual screen setups. You put 1 wallpaper on the left screen, and put 1 wallpaper on the other, and the way the wallpaper was designed, it looks like it spans both displays.

Wait so how are apple ACD's? I hear they are old, expensive, and laggy. Please clarify if I'm wrong.

Having the same exact problem. None of my tweakings have helped. To everyone in this thread, I'm probably going to be returning this monitor, either for a non wide-gamut model, or the new DS. The 2 things that are bothering me, are the over saturation, and the slight banding (that makes...

It not only inflated the price, it inflated that overly thick bezel. That thing is thicker than a block of cheese.

Ok, so I finally received the monitor from CDW. I was going to refuse the shipment, but my Mom signed for the package while I was out, thinking she was doing a favor for me. Great. I will go into details later, but I'll give a quick rundown of what I notice right off the bat. I was waken...

Can someone please take a picture or a screenshot (and saturate it manually via Photoshop or something) of how this looks like? It would really benefit a lot of us on the fence who want to buy these monitors. The web designer who uses the same stuff (or some of it) that I do, that really...
