[Retired] The LCD Thread

xtknight, thought you might enjoy a follow up story, don't know if you recall but I did acquire a 20WMGX2 on your advice, and I still marvel every time I turn it on. But ever since I returned the LG227 to Best Buy, I'd been missing it a little bit, because the 22" screen, at the same...

[Retired] The LCD Thread

xtknight, now that I'm using the NEC 20WMGX2 I'm noticing that it gets fairly hot after a half-hour or so, as has been reported in this thread. In one post you mentioned that you might put a cooling fan on yours, don't know if you did or not, but I'm thinking seriously about doing that. The...

xtknight, many thanks for the advice. I have two further questions if you can help me on these: 1) I'm concerned about black point and dynamic range. Most of the photos I edit are architectural, which means lots of shadows, contrasty images, and detailed wood grain in closeups. I understand...

Hi, first time LCD buyer here. I'm coming from an NEC FE791sb Diamondtron CRT, so I'm used to a high quality picture, suitable at least for web photo work. I need to stay under $500. I am looking at two widescreen units -- the LG L227WTG and the NEC 20WMGX2. I can get the LG new of course...
