A couple notes on this thread.. I have the Phillips Brilliance 230W with the 230WP7NS panel. I have had it for more than a year now. It is excelletn, and IMHO still cannot be beat if you are looking for extreme sharpness, solid response times, exceptional color accuracy in a widescreen >22"...

No problems, been well voer a month...

Anavel, I am pushing 20% more pixels than you are so I am not expecting to get the same level of performance. Also, bear in mind that my test numbers were from a location that gave the LOWEST frame rate that I could find that was static. I can get lower frame rates from the back of a griffon...

Anavel, its certainly NOT meaningless when you are running at widescreen native res 1920x1200 with full anti-aliasing! At those settings you never get over 64fps, hell you rarely break 40fps! The FPS limitation that you are talkign about will be removed in the next patch which is already...

The yare NOT supported (direct from Nvidia to me) *but* they sorta-work. Read my initial post on this tread to understand what they can do and what their limitations are. Specifically, you CAN get a better antialiasing setting than the stock in-game ones, but only if you leave in-game AA...

Yes! The tab that lets you set individual settings for specific applications/games. Those override the global settings. For reasons that only WoW and Nvidia know, the global settings seem not to affect WoW while those application overrides do. Again, you will take a mighty performance hit to go...

Ive posted it once before but I will do it one more time :P Here you go!

This has not been my experience wit hte BFG 7950GX2's. So far I have expereinced *no* corruption or locking with jsut a single card running in dual GPU mode. I have heard of others reporting the problem you state, however. The game may be CPU bound at lower resoultions and settings, but it...

They dont unless you exceed the game's internal settings and even then they only work from the World of Warcraft override section of the Nvidia control panle, no the gloabl settings control panel. JT

Obviously you are bittter about someone nija-looting your big drop! ;) j/k There are issues with both the game and the cards. In parsing the test data, Stanley is correct. if you turn off AA in the game (thats what 1xMS is, i.e. NO multisampling) you get no antialiasing regardless of...

My system is as follows: Falcon Northwest FX-62 Corsair PC6400C4 2Gb BFG 7950GX2 x 2 ASUS MN32-SLi Deluxe (Nforce 590 rev 0404) Silverstone SST-ST60F Philips Brilliance 230WP7NS 23" LCD at 1920x1200 native Windows XP Pro SP2 FPS I have done fairly extensive testing of FPS in WoW now...

I ahve now instaleld the power adapter to move one of the pcie power cords to the other rail. This HAS WORKED to eliminate all power related shut downs in Oblivion. FNW was apparently right in their diagnosis of the power load problem. That being said, there are still driver related corruption...

First on framerates: Most of my "testing" is done from griffon-back. I can turn to face the sky and turn to face the ground which is rapidly moving by with lots of critters, polygons and textures. My current setup is all in-game maxxed with the WoW specific controls overriding card defaults as...

So the new drivers are out. I snstaleld them last night and sdid a quick run through of WoW, Ghost Recon, Oblivion. The main issues which I posted at Nvidia's web site: Problems: Computer powers off Alt-Tab produces extremely corrupted screen Alt-Tab produces machine lock-up Games...

While not directly your configuration, I have two 7950's and notice a very significant difference between one enabled and two enabled when running hi rez and AA settings. System: Falcon Northwest FX-62 Corsair PC6400C4 2Gb BFG 7900GX2 x 2 ASUS MN32-SLi Deluxe (Nforce 590 rev 0404)...

I completely missed that my powersupply is certified for "all other" SLi applications and *not* for the 7950 Quad setup. I think FNW will get a call from me tomorrow! JT

leSLle: Yes it is and I typed it all! :P HeavyH20: You may be right. I would liek to note that the suppply in question, the Silverstone SSST60F is on the Nvidia Quad SLi approved list. That being said, Falcon Northwest confirmed today that my system is running BOTH cards on a single rail...

I originally posted about the problems with the beta drivers and this is an update on the post below. Falcon Northwest has maintained that the majority of my problems were driver related and it seems in some part they were right. The new 91.45 drivers eliminated the screen vibration and the...

You really should check out http://www.widescreengamingforum.com They have al lthe latest info on the panels you would be looking at. Pay special attention to their forum and the user reviews as many of them are done to pretty good quality. I went through this not long ago and made a...

You also might want to look as the 23" panels. These have the same resolution as the 24", and that means tighter dot size (i.e. sharper text). The 23" panels have a reputation for great color accuracy as well, not to mention they are not implicated in the dreaded "input lag" associated with many...

The answer to this is actually quite simple - get a new mouse! Logitech has an excellent series of mice that have a little button on them for increasing or decreasing mouse sensitivity. Press once, and a tiny motion will carry you all the way across a 1920x1200 display (I know, I have one)...

Ricey, thats an interesting idea. I said something quite similar to someone else who was considering that panel and lord knows you would get excellent color and blacks with that Eizo panel. The only review I read on the panel was pretty bad where full-motion video was concerned but I wonder if a...

Zak, Sunfox is right. There are no known 24" IPS panels being made. Bear in mind that Philips *makes* all IPS panels for everyone. Their brand name doesnt have the same cache nor the market penetration that Apple, sony and HP do, but they are the ones who make the panels. In other words, if...

Light, After reading and looking and reading and looking I chose the Philips Brilliance 230wp7ns/27... The reasons were as follows (in no particular order): 1. I do a lot with text (spreadsheets, tax software, word, forums, web, outlook) and I wanted the sharper text you get on the...

This was discussed in another post somewhere and I believe that it was resolved that it was another samsung produced PVA panel. They are beautiful panels and have excellent color, but if you are mainly jsut looking for a gaming panel I think they are really not the way to go. There are a couple...

Go here to answer all your questions: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com Great resources there... Are you sure you want the Dell for gaming? There are some pretty serious drawbacks to that particular panel (made by samsung) see this: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1026393...

I wouldnt get the Acer nor the Dell at this time. The input lag problem happens all too frequently for gaming or full motion video. The viewsonic has great color but the response times are mediocre and in practice give some ghosting and smearing with full motion video and some games as well...

You really should look at the 23" S-IPS panels: true 8bit color, fast response times, excelent contrast ratios, no input lag, sharper dot pitch, better pixel waranties. These panels are made by Philips, who has marketed the latest version of their panel under their Philips Brilliance name plate...

Just FYI, Falcon NW is *not* shipping Quad SLi drivers with their dual 7950 setups at this time. According to them they will be released to them "soon, maybe by end of the month" - whatever that means. As a result I will have two cards, but only one enabled until Falcon-NW gets their...

From some of the graphics pros I have talked to you will *not* get good color out of the IPS panels as compared to the PVA or MVA panels. I would look for a slow response time PVA or MVA to give most accurate color reproduction. Read the reviews for the color calibration/adjustment solution...

Well, you obviously have a bang-up system, quite expensive Im guessing, as well. In any case, do you know what your monitor's native resolution is? Thats what you should run your games at with al lthe bells and whistles enabled :) If something in a graphics option in a game say "for better...

Um... Duh. The point was if he actually could check it out it might be worth not having whatever return policy I would get if buying from a retailer that I dont get from a personal seller. Its "unopened" status is irrelevant where warrantees are concerned. Hence the only value that a new...

As to HDCP does anyone really think this is a serious issue over the next two years? Think about the complete lack of HDCP penetration in the Graphics card market. If the studios want people to buy their media they will have to take that into account. Plus it will only ever be a serious issue on...

Philips has, its the 230WP7NS and has the bests published stats of any S-IPS panel currently being retailed. Check: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/wiki/index.php?title=Philips_230WP7NS_05 Note the review at the bottom.

Uh... The one you use! :) Seriously thats like saying "What's the *best* car"? Are you going to surf two web pages at the same time? Watch DVD's? Watch HD-DVD's? Operate a graphics workstation? Play competition Quake? Retouch photographs in a color managed system for direct-to-print? Brag...

The difference in the product numbers is as follows: 230WP7NS/00 - sold everwhere in the world except UK and USA 230WP7NS/05 - sold in UK 230WP7NS/27 - Sold in USA (some /27's are also sold in canada) 230WP7NS/27B - sold in USA but is a black model instead of a silver one. This is listed...
