Yup. I've tried it; it works pretty well. http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2008-September/058411.html Media Player Classic, which supports shaders, also has a shader you can use for gamut transformation.

Thanks for the info. Anyone had experience with each of their return policies?

I don't think Newegg allows a refund even with the restocking fee. As far as I know, you must deal with the manufacturer and you won't ever get a refund that way. http://www.newegg.com/HelpInfo/ReturnPolicy.aspx#21 How does Dell.com compare to Amazon? I've never ordered from either.

It may be that different colors update at different speeds on an LCD. When you were moving the window maybe the white cursor was on a dark blue background. Perhaps your desktop is bright green and the white cursor is faster here, but that's just a guess. It would have to be some sort of...

1. NEC 20WMGX2 2. ViewSonic VP930b The 20WMGX2 is easily my favorite of the two. ;)

I have it listed in the LCD Thread at AnandTech. The 34 ms is the avg. lag measurement from DigitalVersus/LesNumeriques. http://www.digitalversus.com/duels.php?ty=6&ma1=38&mo1=96&p1=979&ma2=35&mo2=228&p2=2110&ph=1 They describe their methods here (fairly sure LesNum/co. are closely related as...

Windows, to this day (even in Vista), has plenty of trouble scaling fonts (well, at least the dialogs and controls that contain the fonts). I use WinXP64 with larger fonts a tad bit and it's not that annoying, but I use it in a virtual machine and only briefly. I can see how the drawing bugs...

I'd like to see them myself too, although I still have to stick to my conjecture that they aren't releasing them because not that many people would buy them. Even though I would probably get one, I'm (or we're) not the typical customer. 30" LCDs are quite niche also, although it's "far out...

1920x1200 (assuming that's what you meant) on 22" LCDs would yield some pretty small text. They have 15.4" 1920x1200 LCDs, so it's not a technology problem, rather one of potential market share.

Apple's 20" and NEC's 20WMGX2 are S-IPS monitors.

Color accuracy isn't really dictated by contrast. Your average 'good' consumer LCD (i.e. Samsung 215TW, NEC 20WMGX2) can reach a deltaE of under 0.70 for all tones, properly calibrated. If you think about it, contrast should really only matter for the tones between 0.00 nits and the...

Let it warm-up before you assess response time.

The VP930b's backlight bleeding really is bad. I had one myself and it had an X pattern. There's really no reason at all to get the VP930 over the 971P. I'm not 100% sure about response time but chances are it (the overdrive) is controlled better (it was bad on the VP930 in some instances)...

I would definitely grab the 971P. Its contrast has been measured at 1750:1 here: http://www.flatpanels.dk/test.php?subaction=showfull&id=1166430756&archive=&start_from=& I had owned the VP930b and I was pretty disappointed with its color performance and backlight uniformity. The black level...

Tell your drivers to ignore the DDC info and hardcode the modelines. I bet you can use PowerStrip to do that. Or, read the EDID from your new monitor and just send that EDID to your old one. You do risk corruption by doing that, but it may fix the issue. How did you come to the conclusion...

rezza: Here I explain how to search for dead pixels, etc: http://lcdresource.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=47&Itemid=36

This is very common with the 204B. Sorry, but it's time to RMA. Well actually you may try first replacing the cable. I believe this was the cause in one instance (perhaps the bundled cable is bad?)

sRGB is a good setting for those without a calibrator, but if you have a calibrator, Native is the best way to go for multimedia. My 20WMGX2's settings (calibrated) now are: brightness: 6.2 contrast: 97 advm: off dv mode: standard color: native However I also use a gamma profile...

Put it this way: I doubt Americans would be offended if there was a picture of a foreign country's disaster in the ad. They probably would have no idea what disaster it was either. So, from that perspective, even being an American, I don't see the big deal. If it was an advertisement here...

Ahh, that must do it for the new models because it doesn't do it for the VP930b. That just turns off the native resolution warning on that model. I'm glad they fixed it for their newer ones.

Well, I still haven't gotten a reply from LG Philips.

CRTs are impulse-type displays. The electron guns paint the screen and it decays until the next refresh. This type of flicker causes eye strain. Since LCDs are hold-type (or static), your eyes don't have to be subjected to this constant blanking. I don't think anyone's debating image...

If you get the "8 ms" Samsung 940B, you won't notice too much of a difference: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/other/display/19inch-4_23.html The 940BF is a great choice though.

The LG L204WT is a 6-bit+HiFRC (total 16.7M colors) panel in the US. A few S-IPS versions have been floating around Europe though. It's a TN panel so it can't be true 8-bit. I believe it's because they don't have high enough contrast or precision. I've never heard of an 8-bit TN at least...

I don't think the 2001FP ever used a PVA, but they have switched between the two on the 2007FP.

The Samsung 215TW gets 1115:1 (+/- 150) after calibration: http://www.flatpanels.dk/test.php?subaction=showfull&id=1145524300&archive=&start_from=&

a-si TFT active matrix, TN 6-bit+FRC panel.

a-si means amorphous silicon. There is also p-si (poly silicon) which is mainly used in LCD projectors for its high aperture ratio (basically how close the backlight is to the actual pixels). a-si is the dominant technology used in desktop/notebook/mobile LCDs. Under a-si, there is S-IPS...

That's basically impossible since the contrast is always changing. (You can't calibrate the algorithm it uses to calculate contrast.)

I've had this on my HD for awhile, but I can't remember where I got it. I think someone on the forums had it so I hope he/she doesn't mind me hosting it. http://xtknight.atothosting.com/images/lcdsizes.gif

NVIDIA supports aspect ratio/centering on all LCDs (kudos to them) since it's performed on the GPU. I believe Intel does as well, but I can't confirm that. I know for a fact ATI can not do either on its GPU.

If you get a high-end display like the NEC 20WMGX2, sure. Anything less and I'd rather use a CRT for gaming. The blacks on my 20WMGX2 are awesome and the whole thing is very uniform (none of that backlight seepy crap).

prad.de can help you limit it down (choose Interpolation Settings here): http://www.prad.de/en/guide/ausstattung_auswahl.html Also FYI the 2405 uses only a PVA (4 domain with limited viewing angle) panel. The NEC 20WMGX2 can not do aspect ratio or centering on its DSP when hooked up to the...

Thanks a ton for all this info. If only other companies had people like that. :) Do you know of any super CCFL (92%)/LED backlight monitors coming soon? Will NEC soon have affordable ones (less expensive without the advanced 90 series features)?

That test is faux (it uses a dithering gif). Try this: http://xtknight.atothosting.com/tools/blacktest.htm (tested with IE6, Firefox, Opera) This shows overlapping boxes of different color tones. With an NEC 20WMGX2 (SN: 66002333**), at DV: standard, color temp: native, contrast 100...

For the people who own the VX2235WM, does the screen turn dark or brighter when looking from a really wide viewing angle? Bright=VA, dark=TN, very very slight change (<15% brightness decrease) = S-IPS. If it looks really dark/inkblot-like at an extreme bottom viewing angle, it's definitely a TN.
