I'm looking at the 24" Can't wait till 16:9 is dominate and there is a huge selection from all brands, BenQ is right up there with Samsung for me, its nice to see these in owners hands.
Anyone have any experience with the latest voice recognition software, like Dragon Naturally Speaking. I know it's got a lot better as computers have got faster. I'm thinking about buying some for posting in IM's but mainly in the many forums I vist.
I have a AMD 64 dual core 4200+ I wish I had known most feel its better to get 64bit, I thought it was the other way around, get the 32 for stability, but my logic is based off of XP since thats what I had until a week ago . Will new egg take return OEM OS if I spend more to get 64bit OEM OS.
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...
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...
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...
I upgraded recently because I thought it was my motherboard when in fact it was my power supply. I now have a AMD 3500+ 90nm CPU + MSI K8N-Neo2 nForce 3 motherboard + OEM XP that is associated with that motherboard. Thats my question, can I sell the copy of OEM XP that is registered to the...
Hi I'm looking for any high quality media players that are free. I just installed windows Vista and Media Player 11 just don't seem real private, I guess anything on line anymore is not but anyhow anyone know of any really good software thats free. What do you think of win amp?
Is there any way to set your boot resolution to native res of your monitor, I never get the info from my boot screen because its cut off or not displayed. Does anyone know how to set your boot resolution to the native res of your monitor is it in BIOS or just not possible. I have 1680x1050 Sam...
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...
Get Monitor Calibration Wizard free online, and get WYSIWYG from this page http://www.praxisoft.com/pages/products.wiziwyg.html . Run WYSIWYG and then open up Monitor Calibration Wizard and immediatly name and save the profile that WYSIWYG made in the name and save option in MCW. Then have MCW...
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...
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...
Well if I have my Gamma at 1.0 I see it at 3, if I have my gamma at 2.20 then I see it at about 12. 1.0 gamma looks horibble and 2.20 is the PC standard the lighter your gamma the sooner you'll see it but will be giving up deep blacks. Here a page that use java and you can see where your...
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...
Well I just talked to someone in 2nd level tech support and he said both the 204BW and 205BW where 8bit monitors and I re-asked the question 3 times referring back to the 16.2 million and 16.7 million specs that contridict each other everywhere, he assured me they where 8bit. More supriseing is...

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...
Well I talked to a cutomer service rep and she had an internal picture that she also felt like it looked a tad smaller than the 205BW. I get frustrated with dumb ASH people who can't get you up to the right deparment to get basic info answered. She did say that model sqence number has nothing to...
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...
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.
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 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...
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.
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...
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...
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.
I'm about to buy this monitor, but I really like portrait mode because I surf alot and like the more thread it shows: How is the monitor in portrait mode: ie the angles I currently have a Samnsung 712N that Im going to ebay for around $100.
It might not show up in the list of resolutions but be sure to get the refresh right I'd go with 60. Try unchecking Hide resolutions this monitor doesn't support. 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...
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.
I know you weren't, I'm just wondering if anyone else is haveing this problem, the fact that the folder c:\windows\system32\winload.exe is the corupt file is kinda making me wonder about my previous 32bit install. But like I said I can boot to XP and go find the missing/corrupt file in the new...
I am downloading Vista RC1 32bit but I wanted to help/push/beta test the 64 bit version since that will benifit games 2-4 years down the road and where we need to go. We now have the 64 bit chips to run it so why not I figure.
