have the same issue, Samsung 204B-r and a eVGA 7900GT...
from what I've found from lots of those who have the same issue... we stuck !
using the VGA port verses the DVI appears to fix the issue with this LCD model :(
have a new system... eVGA 7900GT, Samsung 20.1 LCD.. just started after loading up Battlefield 2142 (never happened during BattleField 2)
what happens?
after a good time of gaming, the display just blinks black... game continues, a few seconds the display pops back on, then off, then on...
doesn't get any easier then this.. no messing with a laptop.. just a card reader for your tv, but instead of a tv, use some car type gaming display.

:p
how does switch between the VGA or DVI port on the monitor...
I have a 20.1 Samsung 204B and 2 computers... now I use my old VGA KVM but want
to use DVI. (DVI KVMs seem to suck?)
I have one PC w/ VGA/DVI and 2nd PC w/ double DVI..
what do you guys suggest ?
thx
w1retap, now that is cool.. I have heard the multi displays work very well with Driver Sims games, but you need more 'power' to display say, Battlefield 2, or Oblivion across something like this. I believe that day is coming... when the paper like (flexable) LCDs mature, then you can just role...
ok, so this would cost a fortune just to play games, yet I see something along this a the gaming future... 180 degree displays..

OK, so I should not put this here but it's something I would love to have for PC gaming.
of course it's only in Japan... 180 degree display, a little mod and hook up a PC ..

well, my existing 64-2800 system is
DFI nF3 250Gb
AMD64 2800
2 x 512 Patriot PDP TCCP RAM
I am buying a DELL system because I can get a P4 630, 512Mb etc WITH a
2007FP monitor for only $599 new !
and thought, well, would it be worth me to sell my AMD system and keep the Dell...
I have a AMD 64-2800 now but can get a really great dell on a system with an Intel P4 630.
I have search for reviews that says it's that much better. This is basically a gaming system. nothing else.
thx

I saw a desk / computer mode many many years back.. all aluminum (sp) that had
a 'slash' cut out on top that you could look down into the desk and see the...
this is what Lian Li computer desk should have been... but failed to live up to IMO
anyway.. going to drop them an emial and see what it cost... along with shipping to the states.
claims a 16F temp drop ? for $50 it would be worth it IF it actually worked..
can't be anything more then a peltier in nice box.
