If you look at the 10th-11th picture from the start of the thread, you see a shelf with change on it, hehehehe thats what Zoom has left eat with for the rest of the year after buying the monitor :-P
Sweet Display,
as for the 2405 that someone mentioned wanting to get rid of, how much are you selling for?
Where'd you get it for that price then? Dell's asking $2,200 CAD before taxes! I'd totally nab one for $1,600.Quote:

Keep any eye out at www.redflagdeals.com (go to forums) to see when the deals occur.

the 30" however can run in 1280x800 without interpolation... imho a pefect gaming rees for the balance between iq and speed
I agree with you on all counts, especially the last part! ;) Running @1280x768, max detail, 4xAA/8xAF (or 2xAA/4xAF for certain games) looks pretty good. If I had a more powerful card, I'd prolly up the eye candy even more..... :)Quote:

Well, obviously you haven't tried FEAR.....@1920x1200, it'll bring your GTX to its knees. :eek:Quote:

About $10 worth.
Zoob actually has a lot more.
<-------- dreams about %#!t like that! WOW
I now know what my next display is going to be :)
I never bought FEAR, but I played the demo and my GTX did a good job running it smoothly @ 1920x1200...I even put up some cool Fraps videos when the demo came out :p. But thats not saying much, for all I know they changed alot for the retail release of FEAR.Quote:

what price do you want for that 24"? PM me.
It plays just fine. A little stuttery if you only have 1gb of ram. I can even maintain over 25fps with 2xAA/16xAF enabled at 1920x1200. Thats on an X1800XT.Quote:

@ ewitte: Don't you wish... haha.
@ Sunday Ironfoot: The 3007WFP cannot do portrait mode. However, the vertical resolution of 1600 is greater than most regular LCD's (17"/19" being 1280 when in portrait)
@ offtone: soupnazi got it dead on.
@ Gar: MANY 2405FPW users have reported input lag. Not every user is sensitive enough to feel/see it. 30" is great for gaming. Although I tried playing HL2 for a bit and I felt motion-sickness... dunno if that's because I already AM sick (caught a bad cold last week).
@ Terry: My change is all Loonies and quarters for laundry... not for spending on chips. :)
@ rabidmoose171 / Anyone interested in purchasing: Shipping would likely kill the deal. For reference, I'm looking for about $1000 shipped (Losing a smooth ~$300 on it.. yar)
AND! For the patient.

30" on the right, 24" on the left. So tiny! Terry's SD100 causing the chromatic aberration.... :)
Whoa! Thanks for the sidebyside pc Zoob.:cool: Is that a binary clock I see?;)
Yup, I've read about the input lag as well. They said it's probably due to the overdrive circuit (to speed up response times of MVA/PVA panels) Increasing the refresh rate to 100hz has been a consistent solution to fool the overdrive but this may put your monitor at risk. (max rate is 60hz) At first I noticed the lag a little in CS but now I don't even notice it at all. (must have gotten used to it)
One thing I find is at 60hz, the mouse cursor is a little chopping when moving it around on the windows desktop. (in comparision to my CRT at 100hz)
