How did you guys initiate the RMA to Microsoft? Did you call tech support or did you use the automated repair website?

NeRve

I have had about 4 2407wfps and 2 2407wfp-hcs trying to get one that doesn't have severe ghosting but eventually gave up. There is this very weird green ghosting that you get when things are in motion, check for videos of it on YouTube. I still have mine, but might sell it and get something else. T...

I'm guessing the Golden Grail would be LED-backlighting AND 92% NTSC gamut-coloring...

NeRve

I think that was a typo by FF, LCD = LED Thanks. It was indeed a typo. :oops: Is there an advantage to using LED backlights aside from ahieving a slimmer profile? Which is why they're being used in laptops. I could imagine how they can turn off LEDs selectively to improve dynamic contrast (I rememb...

NeRve

So the 2407fpw-HC models with 92% NTSC gamut are LED-backlit? Or are they still using the older backlighting?

NeRve

So if I get a panel with a LTM240M2 panel, does it mean it's even better than the 2407fpw-HC? (I know the 2407fpw are essentially repackaged Samsungs) BTW - in this review it says both the 2407fpw and the 244T are the same panels http://www.behardware.com/articles/629-1/24-inches-the-dell-2407wfp-vs...

NeRve

Wow - I guess 2407fpw-HC is the winner... I am still waiting for them to go down even more - with 24-LCDs below $300 during Black Friday, I'm still having a hard time swallowing $600 for a monitor...

NeRve

I'm sitting in front of one right now. I'm giving serious thought to adding a 2407WFP-HC to my desk as well - these are truly great monitors. They're not the best for gaming, but they're good enough that it hasn't yet bothered me. I'm not some kind of crazy gaming elitist anyway, I (gasp, shock, ho...

NeRve

After doing some reading I found the 2407fpw-HC REV A00 has a ton of problems (overdrive ghosting, colorshifting, etc...) I wonder if Dell has made any newer hardware revisions to correct them as they did with the non-HC models (A01, A02, A03, and A04)?

NeRve

What's Dell's Policy on Dead Pixels? If I was to get a 2407fpw with some Dead Pixels - could I exchange it? This is the one reason I have always previously bought my LCDs at B&M stores...

NeRve

Those Dell 2407fpw LCDs looks sweet (makes my 19-inch look tiny). I was wondering if any of you guys owned one yourself and how you think it is?

NeRve

Aren't Penryns suppose to be cheaper overall due to the die-shrink?

NeRve

BTW is the Intel X48 Express chipsets the "Eagelake" chipsets? I've been wondering about this and never could find an answer...

actually i think a lot of it has to do with down-grading from 3gb of ram to 2gb. no money in the budget for 4gb

NeRve

I'm planning my Quad-Core upgrade from my E6600. I have my sights set on the following:

Core 2 Quad Q9450
2667 MHz
2 × 6144 KiB L2
FSB: 1333 MT/s 8x
95 W
LGA 775

$316

Anybody else waiting for this apple to ripen?

I seem to find Samsung products everywhere these days from cellphones to LCDs to HDTVs... I've never seen such product propagation since Sony's Walkman era back in the 80's...

What's your thoughts?

DX 9.0c seemed to have been around for years, but just when DX10 came out, DX10.1 is now on the brink of appearance (ATI R3XXX, GeForce 9xxx)... Considering Vista launched about a year ago, and DX10-adoption has not been so-up to par, this has got to be the shortest DX-lifespan of them all... I wond...

NeRve

Currently the 8800GTX and 2900XT are both getting pulverized with Crysis at Very-High Settings (DX10-mode). I'm not getting a card until that can be run at 1920x1200 as smooth as butter with max settings, but I wonder how long that will be... Any thoughts?

NeRve

Bundle the 65nm with a Dual-Shock 3 and a free Blu-ray at $399 and I'm in!

No BC, cooler chip - so many decisions...

NeRve

It's kind of interesting that the 8800GT is using the G92-core, but still relegated to the 8xxx moniker... The 9xxx are suppose to have the G92-core standard right?

NeRve

It kinda makes you wonder. When will it stop? There has to be a limit on performance at some point in time. When will we reach that limit? Or, if not one on performance, there at least has to be a limit on just how real you can make a 3D game look. Once it looks exactly like real life... whats next...

Do you guys reckon with all the RROD - that Microsoft will send back newer, improved 360s back to the customers once they sent their old ones in? It makes sense to do this, so it will costs them less in the long run... I have a hard time thinking that having techs open the machines and re-solder/re...

Aside from the recent gushing on the 8800GT - I decided to hold off as the 9800 has these tasty details: * Chip Technical process : 65- nm * Producer: TSMC * More than one billion transistors (681 mln. in G80, on which is built GeForce 8800 GTX) * Support FP 64- bits * Support GPGPU * Performance is...

NeRve

Just read the 8800GT and Q9650 reviews on TR - not bad... I was hoping for some light-year performance jump especially in Crysis, but I guess I'll wait a bit...

Strange thing is the gtx scores about 500 more points in 3dmark05 and 06

I kinda think my psu is a bottleneck**shrugs**?

So what was the performance boost of a GTX over GTS in your real gameplay experience?

NeRve

So I am assuming Very High Quality settings are the DX10 modes right?
