    Best TN for color reproduction

    i read that some TN can be quite good at color reproduction even with 6-bit and dithering. a friend needs a monitor but only $300 bucks to spend tops. while it is for gaming, it also needs to be used for some color-sensitive work so the search is on for the TN panel with the best dithering...

    Dell 2408 LCD $399 Shipped

    crt's are better for blacks since they can actually make a black by the absence of light vs an LCD that is backlit. lcd is catching up but a good crt > LCD

    Westinghouse L2410NM or DoubleSight DS-245W?

    i was deciding between those two monitors just recently and went doublesight. last spring i wanted to get the dell 2407, and since the doublesight uses the same panel, i was leaning towards that. i also read the DS is built better than the westinghouse so that sealed it for me. dunno if...

    i was gonna buy a monitor last may. my wants were: respectable color accuracy & photo editing chops, i am an amateur photog @ www.simplyathos.com 24" so i can have lots of desktop real estate, 2 windows side by side, etc solid response time for gaming, not a priority but need to be reliable...

    8800GT Lockups

    with my 8800 GTS 320 i use riva tuner to run my fan at 100% during 3d applications running. i could care less about noise when i have a shooter blasting in my headphones or on my speakers. when i am just doin regular pc stuff the fan is quiet, and that is when quiet counts.

    Q6600 - Which stepping did you get?

    if they are accepting a sealed unopened cpu box back obviously they have nothing against exchanging a non-defective item. nothing wrong with that.

    Q6600 - Which stepping did you get?

    you get the spec number once the status goes to shipped. most likely that just means the order has been packed to be shipped but still, probably too late to guarantee that they dont ship it to you if u call to stop it. and also, they have already charged your card by that point FYI.
