Yup. I've tried it; it works pretty well. http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2008-September/058411.html Media Player Classic, which supports shaders, also has a shader you can use for gamut transformation.

Thanks for the info. Anyone had experience with each of their return policies?

I don't think Newegg allows a refund even with the restocking fee. As far as I know, you must deal with the manufacturer and you won't ever get a refund that way. http://www.newegg.com/HelpInfo/ReturnPolicy.aspx#21 How does Dell.com compare to Amazon? I've never ordered from either.

It may be that different colors update at different speeds on an LCD. When you were moving the window maybe the white cursor was on a dark blue background. Perhaps your desktop is bright green and the white cursor is faster here, but that's just a guess. It would have to be some sort of...

1. NEC 20WMGX2 2. ViewSonic VP930b The 20WMGX2 is easily my favorite of the two. ;)

I have it listed in the LCD Thread at AnandTech. The 34 ms is the avg. lag measurement from DigitalVersus/LesNumeriques. http://www.digitalversus.com/duels.php?ty=6&ma1=38&mo1=96&p1=979&ma2=35&mo2=228&p2=2110&ph=1 They describe their methods here (fairly sure LesNum/co. are closely related as...

Windows, to this day (even in Vista), has plenty of trouble scaling fonts (well, at least the dialogs and controls that contain the fonts). I use WinXP64 with larger fonts a tad bit and it's not that annoying, but I use it in a virtual machine and only briefly. I can see how the drawing bugs...

I'd like to see them myself too, although I still have to stick to my conjecture that they aren't releasing them because not that many people would buy them. Even though I would probably get one, I'm (or we're) not the typical customer. 30" LCDs are quite niche also, although it's "far out...

1920x1200 (assuming that's what you meant) on 22" LCDs would yield some pretty small text. They have 15.4" 1920x1200 LCDs, so it's not a technology problem, rather one of potential market share.

Apple's 20" and NEC's 20WMGX2 are S-IPS monitors.

Color accuracy isn't really dictated by contrast. Your average 'good' consumer LCD (i.e. Samsung 215TW, NEC 20WMGX2) can reach a deltaE of under 0.70 for all tones, properly calibrated. If you think about it, contrast should really only matter for the tones between 0.00 nits and the...

Let it warm-up before you assess response time.

The VP930b's backlight bleeding really is bad. I had one myself and it had an X pattern. There's really no reason at all to get the VP930 over the 971P. I'm not 100% sure about response time but chances are it (the overdrive) is controlled better (it was bad on the VP930 in some instances)...
