Yes, Which one at Monoprice did you get? Does it thread in? I just ordered a Z906 to replace a wall mounted Klipsch GMX 5.1, and I want it in the air, too! Peace be with you, Christian Livingstone

Yeah, That photo looks nothing like my NEC EA231WMi looks like with my own eyes. Peace to you all, C. Livingstone

Hey, Nice NEC Eyefinity system, bighead. And I see those Klipsch Promedia THX speakers, too. Rock On! Peace to you all, C. Livingstone

Yeah, I think one of the guys here in North America posted some pics of his silver/white EA231WMi model. It's in this thread somewhere. He had the same Klipsch GMX 5.1 sound system as I do, which goes well with the silver/white model. So, maybe he'll notice your question, or maybe you can send...

Well, I just gave one away, after upgrading to an NEC EA231WMI. I'm mean, people can buy a good, new 24" TN panel, with HDCP, for under $200. Yeah, not IPS, but probably preferable for those without any monitor at all. Peace to you, C. Livingstone

Well, One thing that may help you decide to upgrade is the HDCP compliance in newer monitors, if you like HD movies and similar content. It 's really bad that HD content most often requires newer monitors, because people will not be as inclined to buy HD content, at least until they finally...

Oh, It has HDCP. Good to know. Thanks. Peace to you, C. Livingstone

Well, A 25.5" NEC LCD2690WUXi, factory-refurbished, can be had for about 700 bucks. They are the IPS ones with the highly coveted A-TW Polarizer, which reduces white glow at certain angles. Below are the specs. So, with it's superior panel, larger than 24" size, and larger aspect ratio...

Well, You have to pay attention to the source and direction. Those $10 ones are for a DP source to an HDMI monitor, which is opposite of what I mentioned. See the Note: "Note: While DisplayPort connectors are capable of passing an HDMI signal, DisplayPort and HDMI signals are basically...

Hey, Thanks for the feedback. That's good to hear. Peace to you, C. Livingstone

Yeah, I was a little curious, as my Mac Mini has both DP and DVI out. And my NEC monitor has DP and DVI in. So, with a lot of DVD players and gaming sources being HDMI out, I was wondering if my lack of HDMI ports would ever be a problem if I wanted to connect something else to my monitor...

Yeah, After seeing hale's post, I notice the Cnet review of Samsung's XL2370 is outstanding. It's LED, HDMI, and 2ms, and in your price range. Wow, shopping is fun, even when you're no longer in the market for panels. Peace, C, Livingstone PS: Oh, I just noticed the XL2370 is 23", and it...

Well, If LED backlit is your main priority, as the title of your thread suggests, you're probably going to have to sacrifice on some point, whether it be price, ports, or 2ms response time. I mean, if 5ms isn't fast enough for you, I'd first search to try to establish if there is ANY LED...

Well, Dell's G2410 is a winner for what you're looking for, at around $250, even if it is a little plain looking and sparse on extra ports. It's a power bill saver, too, even at 24". I haven't used it, but did consider it recently. Cnet likes it. See below. Maybe Dell even makes one like it...

Yeah, Someone here recommended the next step down to 46.9%, instead of 50% Contrast, to improve text a little, which it really does. And, it's no secret that I'm diggin' my EA321WMi, even coming from the very well rated IPS Dell 2005 FPW. Peace to you all, C. Livingstone

Right On, Zorachus! You may be doing something that has not yet been done before, i.e., a custom-budget-stand-mount with three 27" monitors for an Eyefinity system. Peace to you, C. Livingstone

Yeah, That one may be just a bit shy, for corner-to-corner joints. Maybe not? Or, maybe the depth of your monitors will push them out further than others from the arc mount, giving them a a slightly shorter circumference to fit into. You just never know until you try something like that how...

Yeah, That #1, the desktop triple, does rotate, and might be fine with three 27" monitors. I'd buy that first, if you like the amount of its intrinsic arc and wrap around, and if it has a good return policy. That way you'd have something from day-one that works without any mounting or...

Hey, Thanks, Intelman. That profile even works on my Intel Mac Mini. I don't know if I'll use it much, though, as it seems a lot like the canned AppleRGB one that I've been using lately. But it's very cool to share custom calibrated ICC profiles. Peace to you all, C. Livingstone

Gee, It seems there is no off-the-shelf, horizontal, triple mount for anything above a smaller, lighter sized LCD, with a wall mount. Here's a lightweight one: http://www.ergoindemand.com/monitor-arm-wall-multi.htm The weight and size of three 27" LCD is too much for anything like that. But...

Sure, No footprint on the desktop with three wall mounts sounds good. But i'd make sure all three mounts are rock solid to the wall, if you do that, as the extension ability adds a lot of tension to the mounting hardware, and those particular wall mounts don't seem to have the ability to raise...

Gee, Since you have three matching monitors, I'm guessing that your Eyefinity system is already working fine with the three stands in Landscape orientation. So, you may be wanting to try the three monitors in Portrait orientation, but the three OEM stand may not allow that. Is that correct...

Well, Maybe the EA231WMi isn't the one for you. The S-PVA LaCie 324 is rated very well for mid-range color professionals, at around $850, without the calibrator. Peace to you all, C. Livingstone

Sure, XMonkey, in one of my posts in this thread I've already linked to a couple of photos, one was the NEC with a plain grey desktop pattern and the other had the NEC side-by-side with the Dell. I think those links are still good to the photos that are still intact on my .Mac server/space...

Well, I don't have one, but it sounds like, for under $200, delivered, that the 23.6" ASUS VH242H is a best value in your price range for that much desktop real estate. See here: http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=10010377 Please let us all hear what finally works...

Yeah, It will be no secret for those who've slogged through this whole thread, that I've upgraded to the EA231WMi, from a 2005FPW. The Dell was great, for its time. But the NEC was a perfect successor, for me, since it was larger, has a 16:9 aspect ratio, maintains nearly the same pixel size...

Yeah, Nice overview, HowzThat. I've got the Klipsch GMX sound system too. Maybe I would have been better to get the EA231WMi in the silver/white, too, as my Mac Mini would compliment that color scheme further, especially if I got one of the newer Mac keyboards have that same aluminum tone. But...

Wow, Somebody here did finally get a silver/white one. Right On! Peace to you all, C. Livingstone

Hey, Please let us all hear how she likes it, ultimately. I'm guessing she will. I sure dig mine. Peace to you all, C. Livingstone

Yeah, And one of the reviewers of that drive mentions that some updating of the Software Player is needed: "Pros: Great drive, plays everything perfectly, and really that's why I give it 5 stars. Cons: The program is comes with, PowerDVD8, is a pain because updating it (Which I needed to in...

Hey, Nice feedback, Denis. Peace to you, C. Livingstone

Yeah, I'm not a gamer, so that wasn't a consideration for me when I was considering the F2380. But please let us all hear how it goes. Peace to you, C. Livingstone

Yeah, I looked pretty hard at the F2380, from a review standpoint, but did finally by an NEC EA231WMi. The reviews seem to run hot and cold on the F2380. Apparently the model has an upgrade to F2380"M", which includes speakers, USB ports, and maybe some other minor refinements, all for about...

Gee, I just gave away my Dell IPS 2005FWP when I upgraded to an NEC EA231WMi. I mean, I wouldn't feel right if someone spent $150 on my used monitor, even though it was still great, because for the same money they can get a higher resolution display with HDCP compliance. So, maybe you'll...

Hey, That slight contrast adjustment does help, Sunspark. Peace to you, C. Livingstone

Sure, The NEC monitor is a nice upgrade to the 2005FPW, for the reason I mentioned earlier in the thread. I've got mine connected to the Displayport, via a Displayport cable and a third-party MiniDiplayport-to-Displayport adapter, which is a short, stubby little thing that I got from China or...

Well, Maybe you do. Try it. Of course, the EA231WMi seems to need no drivers, as mine didn't even come with a CD. I suppose it's in firmware somewhere on the monitor itself, as the unit is newer than my Mac OS, which apparently didn't contain a driver/profile for it. So, your video card...

Well, The speakers are not removable, but they're not visible, either. I've not even hooked them up to see how they sound, as my sound goes out to a 5.1 system. So, they're there if you need them, but if you don't, they won't be in the way or even noticeable. Peace to you, C. Livingstone...

Yeah, The ASUS also seems better for its more numerous inputs. Please let us all hear how you like it when you get it. Peace, C. Livingstone
