Which GTX275 would you recommend?

I have two of these and one OC'd to 750/1300, and the second to 766/1268. The custom cooler is quite quiet in a single card config. I wouldn't SLI two of these with the stock cooler. Too much heat soak and one will spool up to nearly 100% fan speed which can get loud. In a decent case even OC'd...

Wow NV is basically beaten at all price points

Here's my quick take on all this nV vs. AMD/ATI talk, and these are just my opinions: What I like about AMD/ATI: 1) Crossfire works with dual monitors in ALL operating systems 2) CCC is actually useful now. It allows more color customizations than NVCPL, and the built in overdrive, GPU...

Can't decide between Dell 2408WFP and HP LP2475w

Get the HP. It is a better panel, has lower input lag, and fewer general issues.

You are very welcome and thanks for all you do for everyone here. HardForum had a DB crash and the mini review was wiped, but I'll be getting it back up there by (hopefully) Sunday morning with more info. Cheers!

Both the 2490 and 2690 have very good anti-glare/polarizing film. Neither has much sparkling at all. Only my Dell 2709W is better, and not by much, and it is one of the best I've ever seen. The 2490 and 2690's antiglare does not affect sharpness one bit. Out of these two, the 2490 is better...

Hey Yert, Sorry, I am sometimes a bit short on explanations. The reason the V2400W is better for me specifically if it were my only monitor is that it has three inputs and flexible scaling which works well for HDMI consoles like Xbox 360 and PS3. I have one of each, so I need a three input...

Yes, thanks for that preparation :) Here is the link to my "min review". Basically observations + calibration data. It is definitely a standard sRGB monitor. http://www.hardforum.com/showp...33711623&postcount=432 I did take a longer look for dithering and I still can't see any at all...

I just received my Dell 2209WA from Dell Canada, and I couldn't be happier. I'll be posting a link later on this weekend with full stats/calibration/impressions on this thing. XTKnight, I would be inclined to agree with you about a 6-bit per channel e-IPS panel for cost cutting purposes, but...

The Xbox 360 now supports 1680x1050 resolution, so it will display correctly on that monitor with a VGA or HDMI to DVI cable. But since it only has one DVI port, you'd need an HDMI or DVI switch to share it between an xbox 360 and PC, but the difference between HDMI and VGA is pretty much none...

Here you go: http://www.hardforum.com/showp...32973874&postcount=982 Not completely definitive, but a good guideline. Originally it was listed as being close to 4 frames (63ms avg or so), but it's down by at least a frame now, which is a little better.

I'd take the 2493HM over the 2693HM for one particular reason: The 24" is NOT wide gamut, and the 26" IS. The wide gamut of the 2693HM will give you over saturated colors, similar to a TV with the "color" control knob cranked all the way up. The rest of XTKnight's assertions are 100% bang on...

I'm Canadian, so I found it at a big box Canadian store called Future Shop. I actually bought it to try it out. It only cost me $249.99 Canadian, which in my opinion is very cheap. I wanted to see how well it worked with my PS3 even though it is only DVI and VGA, but with HDMI to DVI adapter...

I do know that it is a glossy 2048x1152 panel from Samsung in that Dell. It is definitely a TN monitor, and it comes with a web cam and 1xDVI, 1xHDMI, and 1xVGA ports. Having seen the Samsung 2343BW, I can confirm it is 100% TN, and the Dell is extremely likely the same. For a TN panel, the...

Maybe this would interest you: http://www.prad.de/en/monitore...acer-b223w-part19.html It's the Acer B223W that apparently handles 50hz quite nicely. Unfortunately 48hz causes a non-defeatable "notification" message rendering it virtually useless. It is a TN monitor, so visually it will...

1:1 pixel mapping and PC aspect ratio scaling are two different things. If I set my ATI video card to "centred timings" or my nVidia card to "do not scale" in their respective control panels, the monitor will give me 1:1 pixel mapped display. 1280x720, 1440x900, 1680x1050 etc... all show in...
