If I were to win big at the blackjack tables, I would get this monitor. Comes with its own color calibration hardware and software. Doesn't have great response times, but it's still among the best of the best. DisplayMate called its smaller sibling, the C19, the finest LCD monitor it's ever tested.

This is the single most frustrating thing about computers. The wasted time trying to figure out where the problems lie. Who has the time? Isn't it about time for mandatory hardware failure detection on the fly in some more intelligent way other than beeps, lights or stupid simplistic voices from the motherboard? arrrgghhh!!!! I still feel like we are in the stone ages of comuting.

The specs suck though. 200 briteness? 400 contrast? 2405 is like 500/1000. 8-12ms resp.

I think this means a whole new ballgame, like going from black and white to color in technology terms. I mean flourescent backlighting is so crude.

nec specs

high-speed response times and ultra-wide viewing angles with less colour shift

If your not a gamer then responce time isnt that big of an issue. It's mostly us cry baby gamers that hammer em on responce times

xgman · 08-30-2005, 03:20 PM

unless you watch alot of video on the monitor.

Lol ya I know what you mean. You need at least two of everything to troubleshoot problems. =/

has anyone tried this ram with the board yet?
1Gb OCZ EL DDR PC4000 Gold Series VX
if so how did it work? cant believe how much bother i am having buying ram for this board. first off my ocz 3200 rev 2 wouldnt work at all then my mushkin fails now this new ocz might not work! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Eldonko · 08-30-2005, 05:18 PM

I would say about the same amount of people that had cold boot issues with redline also had cold boot issues with vx. Its the high voltage and UTT, some mbs just dont work well with it.

If 2 sets of RAM don't work, you likely have mb or cpu problems.

Eldonko · 08-30-2005, 07:47 PM

Hmmm, prime blend fail after 3.5 hours. That is semi-stable but not quite, I added .03v to see if there is a difference. I still cant tell what the cause for the sudden instability is. If I can get the BH stable again I can narrow it down to RAM (the TCC5), otherwise it is CPU or MB.

One difference is I am using Prime blend and BF2 to test stability not 32M. However my previous BH settings were stable through many hours of EQ2 which is as good a stability test as anything. /boggle

Sierra_abx · 08-30-2005, 10:20 PM

Someone is offering to sell me his cascade cooler. Still deciding.

Games are THE test on a machine AFAIK....

I run into this all the time....

Tons of testing with this bench or that-----Prime for hours----burn-ins galore-----mem-test till your blue in the face----superPi 32M no sweat----passes them all....

Throw the latest game at it and Kabaam! BSOD or Crash....

My technique to solve this is really simple.....

Drop the FSB 2 mghtz from what you THOUGHT your best overclock was....

Almost always works for me.....

Game Stability!

Gaming stability is only important if you game. Millions of people like me don't. A lot of people just use their computer to surf the net, visit myspace.com and read email.
