    Input Lag - A Discussion

    To my surprise (this being the most active forum on Displays on the net) there is no dedicated discussion of the dreaded "input lag." Yet you hear about it in many threads. "Only go with TN Panels" "40ms difference will get you killed" "No way humans can even notice" "I game fine on XXX...

    Glossy Screens on MVA/PVA/Etc - They Exist?

    After playing with and comparing my old Gateway 2185w to a Hanns-G 28in and a Gateway FHD 2400, I'm convinced that a glossy screen on a PVA/MVA family monitor would be a compelling purchase. I can easily adjust my room lighting. Do they exist? I'm only aware of the Westinghouse...

    Calibrating an LCD - 3 Variables

    So, There's the Video Card, The Monitor, and presumably some kind of Calibration Software. Any strategies on how to make all three of these dance well with each other? I am having trouble making an FHD 2400 work out in all areas and I hate trying to fight with all three variables.

    8800 - 97.02 CP - Where's High Quality?

    Shouldn't there be a selection for "High Quality" and not just "Quality" on this portion of the CP? Or, does that setting only exist for Texture Quality in the "Manage 3D Settings" area. PS... Anyone else just annoyed when they have to learn a new software interface that worked well in...

    Thermal Probe..between HSF and IHS?

    I recently bought a Logisys bay device with three thermal probes. They are the flat wire type probes. Well I was thinking I could get good temp readings by putting one of the probes ON the heatsink nearest the CPU, but those readings were way off when the CPU was at load...so I have two...
