I have a hp f2304 and the native resolution is 1920 x 1200, not just 1920 x 1200 pixels. I always thought resolution on the 2405 was also 1920 x 1200, but it is not. This is why I asked.

Turok- I'll post up some impressions in a week or two when I get my 2405fpw. I'm a little worried about motion blur compared to my 2005fpw (I don't notice any at all on it and that's coming from a previous CRT owner) but most of the owners opinions I've read online say they don't notice any.

Isnt Native Resolution always = to amount of pixels on a lcd?
And the 2405 IS 1920*1200 and has probably always been tho the panel in it probably won't change without a name change.
I think in that flyer they missprintet the info.

Just wanted to pop back in and let you know I have had my N2750W for about two days now and loving it. It is bright as all get up. The default is 50 and I find myself squinting because it is so bright. Sharpness is great once I set my computer to the 1280x720 with a 1:1 Aspect Ratio on the N2750W. Setup was simple and quick.
Acer to deliver 24-inch wide screen LCD monitors in October:

24"
NT$ 24,400 = US$ 870.57
If the price is the same in the US, and the specs are as good as they look, it could be the best 20" and 24" LCDs, and one of the cheapest

I REALLY want that 2405 DELL....

I would wait for those Acer 20" and 24" LCDs that are going to release in October
Could be cheaper, since the price in USD is about $500 (20") and $800 (24")
www.slickdeals.net usually posts most of the coupon offers from several stores.Originally Posted by MickeyMouse
In the site, search in order of "D"s and look for "Dell Business" or "Dell Home"
If you already knew this, then I dont know what else to recommend
As I said, I would wait for the Acer to see if its a better solution for around $800.
If it is, Dell will probably lower their prices like 50%, because a 6ms-8ms on a 24" pannel with 1000:1 contrast ratios and 500:1 brightness you would expect it to cost $1500-$2000, wile Acer says its going to sell for around $800 (cheaper than the 2405fpw with nice coupons and discounts)
The cheapest the 2405fpw has gone is about $700 with some lucky discounts.

I'm using DVI input right now. I have not noiced any buzzing coming from the speakers. I do not see where you can diable the speakers but you can turn the volume down to zero.
As for the FP2405 you will want to look at high pitched squeal otherwise I would have probably went with it because of of the CNET reviews by owners of the LCD. My wife is particularly sensative to noise of this type.
Here are the pictures fo the N2750w:

the high pitch noise was a problem with old models and if you recieve a monitor with that rma it....
i like the 2405 fpw cuz is high resolution and large screen

I haven't noticed this mentioned anywhere, but Samsung has a lesser known model, the 214T is a 21.3-inch TFT-PVA. It reportedly has a response time of 8ms G to G, 900:1 contrast ratio, a brightness of 300 cd/m², .27 dot pitch, 1600 x 1200 maximum resolution, a scanning frequency of 30-81 kHz horizontal and 56-75 Hz vertical, and a horizontal/vertical viewing angle of 178°/178°.
That makes it better than any of the 20" models, on paper, that I've seen, and the best response time of the 21" models.
There's only a few places that sell it, and it runs in the $750-800 range. I haven't found any decent reviews in a quick google scan, but it may be something you want to check out for inclusion in the guide.
Great guide btw...excellent information.

I'm finally converting to an LCD after waiitng until the technology was cost effective compared to CRT. I loved my IBM 21" (Trinitron) P260 and it's source/s have sentimental value (a gift turing very hard times). It heats an entire house.
[B]This guide has benn the most informative (technically) I've bothered to read. There may a few more in-depth, but your "to the point" writing wastes no time in giving me the info I needed. Thank you.
I need a 19" LCD I see people are conflicting as to which to get.
1st.) How safe is it to have them shipped? This has been the one fact preventing me from purchase. Stores where I live are too costly.
2nd.) I know this question is redundant, but in YOUR opinion what are the best (or best based technology) on buys at the moment on 19" technology and will 19" look larger or even to my current 20" viewable? Is it possible to get a good deal on 19" MVA panels or must I go 19" TN for 300USD - 400USD (approximate) prices?

I hope somewhere in the next couple of months Dell will supply new products featuring HDCP-DVI/HDMI and HDMI input (and i'll hope on the same sizes and prices too).
I got the viewsonic VX924 off of compusa. Had a $100 credit so wtf. Anyways I'm happy to say I can't notice any ghosting or motion blurring on BF2/FFXI/CS:S. One thing that REALLY sucks is that when looking at the sky in BF2 and such, it's a if the game was running in 16bit color mode. You can see color "bands" as the sky goes from bright white to dark blue. It reminds me of the old school Voodoo 2/3 days.
So that sucks. I don't know if it's because of the 16.2 mil colors of the TN panel instead of the 16.7 mil of the MVA panels, but if I had to do it again, I'd prob go with the VP191b for sure.
Looks like a nice LCD.Originally Posted by Aielman
Dang... I wonder why there arent many reviewThere's only a few places that sell it, and it runs in the $750-800 range.
Ill check on that LCD with Salahuddin
He's usually informed with new LCD stuff from BeHardware.

If your IBM P260 is 20" viewable, a 19" LCD will be one inch smaller in viewable area (measuring diagonally of course)Originally Posted by Liquid3D
CRTs are measured from the edges of the monitor's casing, wile LCDs are measured by the viewable area.
Another thing you should note is that a 20" widescreen isnt the same as a 20" 4:3 (squared screen). The windescreen will be wider but shorter, because aspect ratios are usually measured from angle to angle in inches.
*I may add this info on the guide with a LCD vs CRT graphical comparison of viewable area measurements
1) Shipping should be safe, or else you should be able to get your money back or a replacement.
It all depends on how the company boxes their products, and how the shipping company handles it.
If the pannel recieves a hard impact on the screen, it could cause some pixels to get stuck, causing what is known as "dead pixels".
When you get your LCD, make sure to test it with everything to see if it has any abnormal issues so you can return it before your return waranty expires.
2) The VP191b (v2) is the best 19" LCD out there. There is a samsung pannel that suposedly uses the same pannel, but I dont know much about it :P
NewEgg sells it for $452 afther shipping. Its worth the extra $52

Ive never seen the VX924 on BF2, so I dont know for sure if its because of the 6 bit colorOriginally Posted by Tibu
I think it could be something else tho
Im guessing you hace it connected with your DVI cable, otherwise image quality wont be the same.
Make sure your LCD is well calibrated.
Thats the thing. I've never calibrated an LCD. And since I'm using DVI, I can't use the auto calibrate thingie
Any suggestions?
You can calibrate your monitor by setting up the colors and everything to the perfect measurements.Originally Posted by Tibu
To calibrate your monitor in a more precise way, you need something that's called a colormeter/spectrometer which is somethingthat you hang on your screen and it has a sensor that detects the purity of each color with the help of a software (which is included with the hardware).
In THG I found this:
http://graphics.tomshardware.com/dis...wsonic-02.html
So this confirms that the monitor requires calibration out of the box.Originally Posted by THG
I also found this in THG:
http://graphics.tomshardware.com/dis...19_lcd-01.html
but I cant find a VX924 software thingOriginally Posted by THG
I would use a picture with pure colors, and different color scales and try to make RPG look as pure as possible.
You could use this image I googled for your manual calibration:

Thank you I really appreciate it. Whom makes this 930B everyone talks about? I know where CRT's were concenred tyhere was two "real" choices Mitsubishi technology and Sony Trinitron technology (i think).Originally Posted by Turok
So with LCD's is it Samsung? And whom makes VP191B v2?
How about this Viewsonic for $285

The LCD I was refering to is the Viewsonic VP191b (v2). I dont know much about the other samsung that uses a simmilar panel.Originally Posted by Liquid3D
If you want the best 19" LCD, get the VP191b, otherwise your second option would the the Hyundai L90D+, which you can find between $330-$350.
The 930B is a Samsung LCD, and the panel maker is Samsung too
The VP191B (v2) is a Viewsonic LCD, and the panel maker is AU Optronics.
Was googleing about the VA902b, and it looks like a new LCD
Was released August 6, 2005
Im guessing its an S-IPS pannel because of the specs.
Didnt find any useful reviews.
There is a big problem tho. The LCD doesnt have a DVI port

So.... Turok, whats up man? Its been a while. So, I am sitting here, reading this thread, with my credit card out, and a 23" Apple Cinema HD in my cart, and then this thread, of course, and I am afraid I am going to make another purchase that I am going to regret (case... RAM...).
So, what is a good course of action? I have briefly read abou the new 24" (is that it) with the 8MS response time, or something like that, available in November... I am going to actually read the goddam thread in detail, but what to do??
Thanks a great deal... In advance
