No LCD yet---have a 19" CRT. Did you get the refurb card or buy new? There's such a huge difference in price, but wasn't sure if the card was a refurb or open box. Thanks for posting your experience with this. There's not a lot of 2D feedback out there.
What resolution are you using? I've got a G450 at 1280 x 1024 and am not sure if I will tell a difference with a P650 unless I'm at a higher resolution.
I have a Matrox G450 16mb card (VGA dual head) with a 19" Hitachi 772 CRT. Have been considering upgrading to an LCD monitor---so I'm on a learning curve regarding good 2D video cards w/ DVI and LCD specs.
I do not game or overclock. 2D is the most important issue---surfing, email, some...
Thanks for the heads up on that. I suppose the one I'm getting today will be Dell branded. If I'd known I was getting a Dell branded one, I'd have ordered from Axiontech.
I just ordered one (link) from Shentech.com (reseller ratings) for $24.99 including free shipping. It should arrive tomorrow. It's not Dell branded, but isn't in a retail box.
I sent the form in on 8/14 and called today to check the status. The ID number of my mouse did not fall into the batch number of the affected ones. The CSR told me there was another way to replace my mouse and had me use the supplemental and replacement parts ordering queue (800-360-7561...
Aceman, please reread my post. I was trying to buy the $99 scanner and told the asst. manager I wasn't going to argue over $10. I walked out of the store because the asst. manager said the advertised EXTRA 10% would not be honored on any item, that it was just to get people to notice the...
Copied and pasted from Brags and Moans (I snipped some for brevity):
I had looked for online reviews of both scanners. The 5370 had much better reviews, so I considered it a good deal. I did not see any comments regarding XP compatibility of the 4300, however the HP website has XP drivers...
I went to Office Max to look at some scanners that were listed under hot deals. The store had the scanners printed for sale on a "Camera Clearance" store circular. A second circular stated "Take an EXTRA 10% off all clearance merchandise."
I picked up one of the scanners and took it to the...
Interesting that this was originally posted by ragingBITCH, because that's what I feel like right now. I will address this issue in the Brags and Moans forum, which I think is more appropriate.
However, in line with this thread, I did go to OfficeMax to look at both scanners that were listed...
I'm about to answer part of my own questions. I bought a Matrox Millenium II 8 MB and put in my sister's old HP. Hooked it up just now to my 19" to see if I could tell a difference in quality. The Millenium II has 250 RAMDAC. We were running a Diamond Card with 300 RAMDAC. The MII is better...
I have wondered about the best 2D cards myself. My mother needs a great 2D card. She's got a good quality Hitachi 19" monitor that runs at 1024 x 768 resolution. Currently, the system has a Diamond Stealth S540 Extreme video card with 300 RAMDAC.
I know Matrox has traditionally been the king...
