Does your LCD have input lag?

For those of you that noticed it, have you gone from something like a 19" CRT running 1280x1024 to a LCD running something like 1680x1050 or more? I noticed some performance hits on my system, but that is because I am running a very high res for my video card. I did not notice "squishy mouse"...

Vertical Purple Line on 20.1 LCD

I agree, Acer is top notch stuff, I use their LCDs all over my workplace, and all of them are solid performers.

Vertical Purple Line on 20.1 LCD

Just finished talking with someone at NewEgg. They are issuing a RMA Replacement. Phew!

Vertical Purple Line on 20.1 LCD

Well, NewEgg does not have anything to do with an LCD after you buy it, no refunds, even. So, I have to deal with BenQ directly, and they will send me a refurb. Fantastic. Bought a brand new monitor last week, already kicked down to a refurb this week.

Vertical Purple Line on 20.1 LCD

I have not even had this new BenQ 20.1 LCD a week and I woke up this morning to a thin (about one or so pixels) vertical line running the entire height of the screen. I have power cycled everything, but no luck. Do I need to contact NewEgg about a replacement?

New to Widescreen

So, I now have this wonderful BenQ 20.1" Widescreen LCD on my desk, but I have a few older games that want 1024x768. Since I am at 16:10, and the game wants 4:3, the screen is stretched across the entire display, distorting the image. How can I get it to compact it into a 1024x768 box in the...

New Monitor - Regular or Widescreen?

Cool, I am checking out the widescreen selections now. Next question, though - I have a GeForce 6800 AGP card in my system. Will it be able to run the proper resolution needed for a 19" widescreen display. 1440x960? I am guessing it is a function of the video card and the driver for the...

Ah, More Stupid Newegg "Reviews"

I get annoyed with every review saying "NewEgg rocks!" You can only read that so many times under the same product to make you wonder if they were scoring it based on their love for NewEgg rather than their like of the product they bought.

New Monitor - Regular or Widescreen?

My CRT has to go. I have had it for 10 years, now, so I think I got my money's worth out of my 17" Panasonic monitor. It has screen burn and cannot get a resolution higher than 1280x960 and still have a decent refresh rate. So, I am going to ditch it and go LCD. Over the past week, I have been...

Geforce 6800 Heat Issues

I have been playing America's Army and Trackmania Nations since I got it back three days ago, and so far I have had no problems with stability or artifacting or anything like that. I don't even know what made me check the temperature of the card, I just felt the need to do so. I was planning...

Geforce 6800 Heat Issues

I recently sent my GeForce 6800 card back to XFX for warranty replacement. I am not sure what happened to it, it I had artifacts and all that mess during boot. At any rate, the card was pronounced dead and returned for replacement. Anyway, I get the new card back, and while playing America's...
