    BenQ V2400W perfect panel-need to sell due to eye disease

    Yes, but it pretty much screws up webpages since the words are bigger than the pictures and you can't fit a lot on the screen at once, kind of like browsing from your cell phone, a pain. The best solution is just to keep buying larger monitors every year. This year 27", next few years probably...

    BenQ V2400W perfect panel-need to sell due to eye disease

    AMD is not the computer chip company, I wish. Age related Macular Degeneration I am only 44, my grandfather was blind in early 50's so I am not too happy. Hope they can cure this in 10 years, I hear now they give you shots in your eyeballs, scary.

    BenQ V2400W perfect panel-need to sell due to eye disease

    If anyone is interested, I have a mint condition, barely used, no dead or stuck pixels V2400W. This monitor is perfect and I loved it for gaming, but I am in my 40's and recently was diagnosed with a serious eye disease and having trouble reading small text. So I had to buy a larger 27" monitor...

    BenQ G2400W

    I am finally getting used to the drab colors. I just find that some games aren't even playable without cranking up the brightness/contrast (doom 3, Jericho, any dark game). And most games look decent, but don't have the neon and shininess to the colors. Then once in a while you find a game that...

    BenQ V2400W: Another Look

    Funny, my v2400w is tilted slightly to the RIGHT, but I think over time it will level off due to the weight on the left side since the stand is off center to the right. But dumb decision on the stand. Why not just put it in the friking middle of the monitor? I really think the viewing angles...

    BenQ V2400W In Depth Review

    The viewing angles are the best I have seen on any TN, but it is a TN. There is not any panels that get less than 1 frame lag. 1ms-16ms will be one frame at 60hz, and there should not be any noticeable lag like PVA, MVA, or IPS panels, or even some TN panels have lag (which is really response...

    BenQ V2400W In Depth Review

    I could be off with my 16ms testing because I only tried it from one dvi port. Some people get it faster out of the other port. I don't even know for sure which one I tested, but it is now plugged into the farthest to the right dvi port on my 8800 ultra, meaning farthest from the s-video output...

    Backlight bleeding is not bad on the V2400W, a little at the bottom of the panel is all. Should not be a concern at all.

    BenQ V2400W In Depth Review

    I checked everywhere, no B&M stores sell the BenQ. But if you kind of want to know what it will look like, look at the Samsung 2493 at Best Buy, but realize the BenQ is going to look sharper. I would have no reservations about ordering directly from BenQ's online store. They will let you return...

    BenQ V2400W In Depth Review

    I did the test without AMA on. I would do it with AMA, but my t.v. and computer are too far apart to take a photo without major moving stuff. When I played games I did not notice any difference with AMA on, so for now I am leaving it off. I don't believe AMA would make any difference in lag...

    BenQ V2400W In Depth Review

    Yes, I am going to keep it. The BenQ store will open Monday, they are moving this weekend. The V2400W has pro's and con's, but I believe it is the best 24" Multimedia Monitor out as of now. It is a problem that all the bright well colored displays that are best for movies and games are NOT TN...

    Wait, you can change color settings in the standard mode only, and set to user 100,100,100 it helps brighten things up a little.

    BenQ V2400W In Depth Review

    I really wanted to know if my monitor had a problem or not, so I brought my xbox (easier than PC) to Best Buy and tried it on the Samsung 2493 and Gateway FHD2400. I must say the BenQ V2400W is by far the sharpest picture, but the Gateway had a setting called Saturation, and the Samsung had a...

    Correction: The faster panel at 1204 frames and the slower at 1200 in 3dmark06, not scientific but you can see the difference.

    BenQ V2400W In Depth Review

    I used that same stopwatch program and took some hard to see pictures, but 16-17ms is the total lag+response time, which is very good at about 1 frame. For comparison my Samsung PVA panel was at 47ms or about 3 frames behind. Another neat trick is running 3dmark06 cloned and take a picture, you...

    Thanks,even the dashboard blades that are yellow and green like dark and dull. I was almost thinking of bringing my xbox into Best Buy and seeing if the Gateway or Samsung 24" look and more coloreful. I measured response time and it is 16-17ms so only 1 frame of lag which I love compared to the...

    BenQ V2400W In Depth Review

    I have tried movie and photo mode which are no help, slightly different hues, but it is if I am watching an old tv with the color knob turned almost all the way down. I have tried both VGA and HDMI cables and still have the same problem. When I use my CRT, old Samsung 214T (slow PVA), or Sony...

    BenQ V2400W In Depth Review

    Hmm, XBOX looks best at 100 contrast and 100 brightness. There is some bloom, but at least there is a little color. The colors still don't come out like on a CRT or my Sony 40" HDTV. The colors on the v2400 just look blah, the metals don't reflect and shine well and glowing things barely glow...

    BenQ V2400W In Depth Review

    I just got the monitor and am very happy with the PC DVI side of things. However, I am having problems with the XBOX 360 over HDMI. The standard brightness/contrast is way to low, everything is dark and dingy. I needed to crank the contrast from 50 to about 75 so I can see in dark areas and...

    BenQ V2400W LCD Monitor

    GTO, Thanks for the comparison shots. I guess all TNs have the same vertical viewing angles :{ But is there any reason to get the V2400W over the G2400WD? Is there anything better about the panel other than the case? Also can you verify that the headphone jack does work on the V2400, I have...

    BenQ G2400W

    10e, thanks for all your input. I recently read that the trick you used by taking of the casing of the component cable may work and not reset your xbox. I read that the trick is to have the switch set to TV no HDTV. If you removed the casing, can you still switch that switch? If so, try and...

    BenQ G2400W

    I have your same concerns.I have heard that older ATI cards had this problem with the Samsung 2493HM also. First off, if you are using that old of a video card, forget a monitor at 1900x1200, your games will crawl at 1fps. However, I would like to know if the V2400W or the G2400WD have any...

    BenQ G2400W

    Thanks for the headphone/speaker out information. So the only way I could use the monitor and hear my xbox 360 (HDMI) is through the headphones out of the V2400W. It looks like I need the V2400W to get that feature. I looked at BenQ's website and called them, they have a 30 day exchange/return...

    Sorry about the multiple posts, but I assumed they were different forum catagories and different reviewers and forum regulars would see the different threads. If not, why aren't they all combined into one thread. I know there will be 5 reviews coming out on the V2400, so 5 threads will come out...

    I don't get why the V2400W is any better than the G2400WD? The G2400WD has less lag, and they both have the same inputs, color accuracy, and lousy viewing angles. Is the V2400W any better vertical viewing angle wise, if not then the G2400WD is still the better monitor? Does the G2400WD also have...

    Thanks for the info, but from what I gather from face to face, the NEC would have about a 2 frame lag and my Samsung 214T about a 2-3 frame lag. http://www.digitalversus.com/duels.php?ty=6&ma1=36&mo1=65&p1=702&ma2=52&mo2=149&p2=1606&ph=12 I think that is why I am getting killed in Halo :}...
