    Need CPU advice

    Well if Vista home is multi core able then I'll keep it for when I run anti-virus. I had a OCZ PS with a five year warranty so that was covered. The PS was the first thing I checked but I took it CompUSA and they powered it up and it ran, but I later found out after my new motherboard didn't...

    Need CPU advice

    I recently thought my CPU had fried so I bought a 939 4200+ dual core 64 it's a 2.2mhz. I had a 3500+ AMD 64 that was also at 2.2mhz. I now realize that the 3500+ is still good and that the issue was my power supply. I wound up getting Vista along with a new motherboard(I'm keeping those) but...

    IE7PRO Add On. NICE.

    I have been using Maxthon Web Browser for the last 4 years. I just went to Vista and ran into some compatibility issues with Maxthon. I figured I'd take another look at IE7 and maybe join the main stream again. I'm not a complicated web surfer but I do like my creature comforts and mouse...

    New 20" WS Dell Panel! E207WFP!! $289!!!!!!

    Dells kinda late to the game in this catigory, however Dell is always discounting so if these can be got for $210-$225 with the typical 15%-25% Dell discounts then they will be big sellers like all other Dells but at the same price as the Samsung 205BW and 204BW and the Benq then I don't see how...

    Samsung 205BW Owner's/Review thread

    With the calibration software I have, I noticed Samsung has the contrast set perfect out of the box at 75 and if I varied even one click off I lost a little contrast, the brigtness should be between 50-75 at 100 its like your looking into the sun. lower your brigtness and your black levels will...

    RE: Samsung 204BW vs. 205BW

    I just got he 204BW and the only difference worth noteing is the 204BW had a 13%(got this info from Samsung Tech support) thinner bezel than the 205BW its hardly noticable. Since I have got mine I have went back to CompUSA to look at the 205BW to see if its bezel looked wider, it did but just...

    For a Gamer, ive narrowed it down to 2 LCD's

    I would go with the Samsung, most people who have ownd any Samsung will rave about them. The screen coating Anti_Refective on the Samsung with give you more of a 3D image while the LG will tend to show a tad more grain in the image. The Samsung should be $30-$50 cheaper and all though personal...

    I ordered the 204BW and can't wait to get it on my desk arm mount, its widescreen time for me. Yea Aplle and LG have a LCD cover thats makes them look a tad grainy. Samsungs hust look more 3D to me. I curently have a 12ms Samsung that was very nice a CS:S but I can't wait for the 5MS of this...

    Samsung 205BW Owner's/Review thread

    Well if it was smaller, in person it'd be a tad bit more noticable, none of the 16.7 or 16.2 do I find reliable. If you look at the PDF on the 204BW it says pixel pith .285 when in fact its .258 and that PDF is more of a prepared document thatn some data entry mess ups yet it still has bogus...

    Everyone go to the Samsung Website at the links below and take a look at the 204BW it looks like the bezel on it is a tad smaller than the 205BW. It may just be the pics look but the Samsung printing and the On/Off and Adjustment buttons on the 204BW they look like they are fitted a little...

    Samsung 205BW Owner's/Review thread

    they need to make the LG in black. The 205BW is my choice right now one becasue LEd backlite LCd will in 2 years be the big thing and decenly priced so I don't want to spend more than $300 at the most knowing I'll only have it for 12-24 months at most.

    Samsung 205BW Owner's/Review thread

    Samsungs website is just full of errors, I have know idea why, but just about every specification page has at least 1 thing wrong. i've decide on this monitor 90% with 10% still open to the 225BW. I really like how the bezel is the exact same size all the way around the monitor, so many of them...

    Samsung SyncMaster 225BW 22"

    Samsung never gets their site info correct, they have the 205BW as .285 pixel pitch when its .258. The back light bleed is the only thing standing in my way of this one, and there is some competetion on the way so the price should hit $350 soon and the contrast should reach 1000:1 instead of the...

    Benq FP202W fuzzy text(1 pixel shadow to left) problem

    On my Samsung under Menu options I have two settings called - Coarse and Fine. They stretch/shrink the pixel placement beyond 1:1 to fill the full edge to edge of the monitor to the bezel. But once you break the 1:1 set up then things show up as ghosting, if yours has it then be sure they are...

    I have seen it at CompUSA and I couldn't see any angle issues but they never hardly have those set up right, but from my recolection it seemed pretty even edge to edge.

    Samsung 205BW Owner's/Review thread

    hmm the viewing angle your mentioned now has me concerned. are you saying looking strait on, that on fairly bright screen the outer edges are darker then in the middle/center to the point where they are noticable? This is the LCD I want but if the viewing angles are lastgen I might have to spend...

    205BW different specs?

    I agree this to me looks loike the premier 20 inch WS, yea the Benq is nice also but I like Samsung and here they have their tightest pixel structure in a 1680x1050 setup at great price. Yhis is no doubt the leading candidate for my upgrade just waiting for newegg to do one of those $50 off...

    205BW different specs?

    I have a desktop LCD arm with VESA mounts so I can rotate it and nVIDIA software will rotate my screen 90% so I can do portrait mode. My curent monitor is horible in portrait angles -half the screen is dark the other half is bright. But it has worse angle rateings than the 205BW.

    205BW different specs?

Good luck but you should be able to get it working, call nvidia tech support even if its expire try to talk with someone for a few...

    Help me choose

    Well it looks like the 204BW and the 205BW are both 75mm vesa mounts, why the he** does samsungs website say otherwise. Its down to the 225BW or the Benq FP202. At $259 to my door that Benq looks nice.
