Sorry I assumed the 2nd was the $399 Acer AL2416WBsd, not X series you linked. At that cost it may still be PVA. Dual DVI? That would be cool but the acers I have looked at did not have a button to switch displays, it was burried in the menu tree....

Over at AT someone claimed the older AL2416WD is PVA and the newer cheaper one is TN. Cost difference is currently negligible (amazon lists the WD for $429, Costco has the other one for $399) so I would go with the PVA unless you have a costco memebership ($399 for the TN). and want the...

I was tempted by the costco sale but gosh this monitor has an awful bezel. Glossy fingerprint magnet and cheap plastic chrome. blech

You can get a PVA based 24" for $429 at J&R if you don't mind Acer. If you need a fast response time and don't mind TN panels you can get the TN based acer 24" for $399 at costco > Your best bet would be to look at them in the store side by side and choose. This is actually a horrible...

I wanted to like this monitor as I like how tidy the built in web cam looks compared to the type that sit on your monitor. For some reason I hate viewsonic bezels and this one is no different. It's a glosy fingerprint magnet. A concern as I find myself constantly adjusting TN panels for...

I see now BB has a W3 version of the 22". Looks like a cleaner/narower bezel. Almost like the acer. Regarding the LCD monitor arm. Before my Westinghouse died an untimely death (last product I buy from that company) I used a ergotron LX desk mount. At the time I was able to get a couple...

After four tries still no response from westinghouse. Has anyone had success engaging westinghouse waranty support????

Doh. Westinghouse 22" just died. No reply from my email to support. Anyone else have a reliability issue with this monitor????

It's not necesarily cheaper but have you considered 3 single monitor mounts? I'm putting together a dual monitor setup and decided on the ergotron LX single for my mounts. It will be $248 shipped for the two arms but it gives me a little more flexibility in how I position my screens.

Is anyone using the 22" Westy in a dual or tri monitor configuration? Bezel is not ideal but might not be too bad as long as you are not stacking them The wife brought me the 20.1" Westy for christmas thinking it was the same thing as what I have. That bezel is totally different. I would not...

Thanks for posting the link to the previus thread supervilan. FWIW I have had this monitor for a few months and it so far has been great.

Gosh I wish I did not revisit this thread. At $199 I am so tempted to camp out and get a second one. Maybe not though. The bezel does not lend itself well to portrait mode (nor does the stand) and I normaly run one landscape one portrait. Still for $199, maybe the folks are getting an upgrade...

No sound from mine, perhaps a bad unit? After I was past the BB return date all of a sudden there are 22" monitors every where. I have yet to see the acer/samsung, but I finally saw the Viewsonic $349 model at Costco. I did not like the look of the viewonic at all. The viewsonics bezel...

Meow Thanks for the pictures! May have to hook up my cable box and see what it looks like....

Or you can use a hack like the Matrox dual or tripple head 2 go: http://www.matrox.com/graphics/offhome/th2go/home.cfm glowing review: http://www.flightsim.com/cgi/kds?$=main/review/th2go.htm I'm considering it for my laptop as I can only doe two screens right now: (my setup...

No purple tint here. Did the test exactly as described. It gets a little dimmer but actually better than some of the panels like the samsung 215. I'm using DVI off from a Quadro 1400 on my Dell Precission M70.

trek554, have you actually seen a westy with DVI on a system where you control the settings? If not make it clear that when you make statements like MUCH better, you are making them based on specs. I have been staring at the westy for concervatively 40 to 100 hours since buying it (end of...

Some are reporting the new Acer is now $399 at costco. Specs are the same but I don't believe it has all of the inputs. Not as good of a price as the westy with the 30% coupon scam, but still a pretty good new price point for 22".

I think everyone here would go with the 24" if they wanted to spend that much money. Angles on the westy pretty good, good enough for two maybe not 3 or four. I'm not sure how many people you plan on crowding around a 22" LCD..... That said this is definetly a computer monitor first, with...

PSB. Fantastic work with the latency checks, I wish you could post a side by side of the westy and the acer showing the same picture so we coudl see what you mean about everyone looking "red faced drunk all the time. " on the westy. I've gone through hundreds of my digital photos on the westy...

I just did this and honestly can't tell the diference from the default settings. both look good. It takes so long to change the four sliders I would need two monitors to do any sort of comaprison

On the free side of the house, note that ethereal is now wireshark (of all things) the ethereal web site is still there but the lead developer has moved on, for the latest version of wireshark/ethereal go to http://www.wireshark.org/ Also wild packets has now made a free version of...

You've left out the latest two $400 22 inchers, the new Acer is available at some Costco's and the 22" Westinghouse is available at bestbuy (last day for $399 price). I think they are 5ms panels, from the specs probably the same. I just watched "The Island" on my westinghouse and it was...

Wow. Glad I did not go by the best buy display. On the VGA at bestbuy the display was very "eh" but nice enough to give it a try knowing it was just VGA. On DVD back at home (off my laptop) the screen is "wow".

Thanks! that was driving me crazy. Any idea why there is a backlight adjustment on the OSD when the component input is selected but not when the DVI input is selected?

OK Very happy with the screen, especially after seeing how incredibly bright it is during the day in my challengin for monitors living room. 25" TV looks washed out. 19" PX192 Planar LCD (300 brightness) looks washed out but this thing looks amazing. However: I do have one problem: For...

Another happy westinghouse owner. I've got it side by side with an older 19" Planar PX191 (I believe an 8 bit panel). The westy is brighter and the color looks better. Any idea who makes this panel?

Big difference is the stand, the westinghouse stand has no height adjustment and does pivot. Also the bezel on the westinghouse is bigger/fatter (worse for multimonitor) OTOH you can always buy a better stand later and an inch is an inch (I got the westy just based on the size and cheaper...

great diagram showing the different sizes! If you could squeeze the 20" 4:3 in there it would be purfect...... Thanks!

Just picked this up based on the pictures here. So far I love this thing. Dwarves my 19" LCD and makes my laptops 15.4" LCD look like an Ant). My config right now is 19" in portrait mode and the 22" (of course given the mount) in landscape mode. My primary application is writing papers...

VTbook web site says it only supports horizontal Max Resolution 1920x1440, not enough for two matrox 2go 1024x768 displays. Is that a limit of the DVI-I to VGA converter? If so the same would apply to DVI-I to VGA on the dell.

How's this: You'll need Two: Matrox triple head2 go One: * ThinkPad T60, T60p, * ThinkPad Z60m, or Z60t One: Thinkpad advanced dock One: pci express card that fits in the above dock. Whole system (less monitors) should cost under $4K Ref: Advance Dock supports: "One...

1400x1050 is fine for most games. Fine for word processing fine for browsing the web. Games will run faster at 1400x1050 then they will at 1600x1200. Games will look better in native res Resolution is not obsure, it's the same as my T43, and that seems to do fine. Has anyone...

Cisco Pix? Froogle is showing the 10 user version as Pix 501 as costing about $360ish. Just search on PIX-501-BUN-K9

Just give in and go Nvidia. A long time ATI desktop user, I finally had to give up on ATI when I got my quadro 1400 laptop. Yeah the drivers are a little different, but as a long time ATI user I found myself actually liking some of the NVIDIA driver features better. For example Nvidia...

What the guy above said. No they are not worth it. Lattitude or precision with complete care is the way to go. I brought a dell Precision M70 then 6 months later brought a Thinkpad T43 (EPP pricing). They both cost about the same, BUT the dell is more sturdy, has a better keyboard...

Yet my wife hates her thinkpad keyboard and to me it is just "eh" for feel and dang annoying for the lack of winkey, misplaced ctrl/fn key, misplaced ESC key etc. Lot of mis/non information here. >>> Wonderful 600E experiences are like telling you boeing made great bi-planes when you are...

I was just reflecting that almost a year later and I feel no urge to upgrade my M70. And I'm running with the stock 40gb 5,400 RPM hard drive (when doing heavy lifting I have an external 250gb 7,200rpm hard drive). In the 15.4" formfactor, even today I'm not sure what else is out there that...

Other than shipping delays, there really has been no big impact yet from the lenovno takeover. So far they seem to be staying the IBM course. The R50e deals have been around forever. Search on R50e on fatwallet, it's an old model they keep on putting on sale for almost nothing (even to the...

Did you use the XPS or XPS2? XPS topped out at the Radeon 9800 mobile. Curious if you where running at 1900x1200 native on the laptop and if you run the same resolution at home? If not then you need to go back and set the resolutions the same and compare apples and apples. Even if you...
