Nice choice, that NEC is a solid monitor.
i've replaced my VX724 with a VX2025, it will be getting a full review similar to my VX724 once i get a system built with DVI (aka waiting for intel to ship the chip)
Oh yeah, i hooked up the 2025 to sVGA on a PIII 800mhz Dell, and it is amazing, however i have no gaming performance or DVD playback to make a halfway informative review
I just got a Dell 2007FW at work today. So far so good, I am fairly impressed with it. Although the only thing I do here is programming but I am not having any text blurring problems or any noticable banding issues. I might have to pick one of these up for my second monitor in the future if they get cheaper.
Okay, I just got back from vacation and started my college build.. including this SWEET 2407FPW. This thing is amazing and is gigantic! WHOO WHOO! :woot:

Sorry about the blurry image.. free camera lol
I recently contacted NEC over the way they ship their 2170NX monitors with DVI-D leads (just bought one), when ATI and Nvidia cards I have all use DVI-I sockets. I thought I would get the spec on the latest Dell 24" (2407WFP)and they have started using DVI-D leads now. See the spec PDF http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna...dhs1&sku=59234
The NEC LCD 21.3" 2170NX has DVI-D male connectors either end of the cable. It's not possible to buy a cable or gender change adapter, with DVI-D on the one end (to connect to the monitor) and DVI-I (to connect to the graphics card) on the other end.
The link NEC gave me to try for a gender changer had none and one of the main supplier of connectors and leads for monitors didn't either so if anybody could advise me where to purchase either a DVI-D to DVI-I cable or gender changer, I would be obliged.

PS - My apologies - I forgot to mention what an informative, well written and useful guide this thread is. The 21.3" NEC monitor I recently purchased is excellent (changed from a 22" CRT) and the first LCD I have tried for any length of time. I connected using the VGA cable owing to the incompatible DVI-D cable supplied and post a screenie of the problem with DVI.

Congrats on the new monitor hangover, looks amazing. Although not a monitor, I also just bought a 46" Samsung DLP TV, the new HL-S model. Suppose to be here in an hour. Woot.
It turned out to be my fault. This time I tried, I applied much more pressure when connecting the monitor cable DVI plug to the graphics card DVI socket and it did eventually plug in. I was just not applying enough pressure. The confusion arose by the amount of holes on the graphics card DVI socket, (24 holes) compared to the pins on the DVI-D cable plug (18) but all is well now.

Hi guys , i have an samsung 214t..It's a great screen but it has huge input lag :mad: Anyone else have this screen ? :stick:
I've been stalking the hdtv's for a long while for a computer monitor but it seems that none of them are really good at it. Even this one (or the 82" in ?march? of next year) both only have VGA inputs that allow 1:1 pixel mapping, otherwise you have overscan issues if you want to use digital inputs (which is just :slapass: stupid.). Then the monitor you list above is only 1.07billion colours which shows a step back in quality than other current models (most are 12.8billion or 549billion) which, granted is internal processing but that means that the above is what 9bit/channel? not even 10?Quote:

In America, size is all that matters (to %94.89 at least), so companies try to their hardest to make it bigger (in screen size) and smaller ("slimmer" units).Quote:

wow I like that! It should work perfectly with the Matrox Tripple Head2Go, alas my video card would suffer tying to game with that, would want high end sli/cf.
what do you guys suggest : 2*20" (Dell 2007WFP), or one 24" (Dell 2407WFP)
I don't really play games, nor coding or so, just the regular stuff, movies, 3DMark :D, MSN, Firefox...
thanks !
dual monitor setup really sucks. Especially if you want to watch movies/Quote:

Yeah, we have a fixation on size. In my case I'm looking for a large HDTV just so it fits the space (my viewing room has 14.5 feet between viewer and what would be the front of the screen. Unfortunately, I have side windows so front-projection just won't cut it. So ~80" is about where I need to be to fit that space.Quote:

Which is one reason why I'm really looking for a good large computer monitor as well (photo editing et al) but seems all the companies are just dragging their feet. Had high hopes 2 years ago when they first showed off the LED LCD displays but they have yet to hit the market period let alone anything that has good resolution (>1920x1200, when dealing w/ 5400x4000 dpi images resolution really helps). I'm hoping that the samsung 305t will be out shortly and offer colour correction at least opposed to the dell/apple crap monitors.
This came today for me :)

What do you think guys about the new model from Samsung 971P ?
"Priced at just $379.99, the 19-inch Samsung SyncMaster 971P offers 1280 x 1024 resolution, 1500:1 contrast ratio, 6ms response time, and a 178-degree viewing angle. It will come in black or white colors and features a nifty S-shaped stand"
What would you buy between Viewsonic VP930 and this one ?
I'm considering to get the Philips 190P7ES Brilliance LCD
Would this LCD be good for gaming or should I opt for another
(posibbly Samsung 971P)? I searched the web but almost no
info or reviews are available:mad:
The 20WGX² is ace.
But it does get a little hot tbh. Unless all LCD's do these days. My old one didn't at all.
not the best for DVD's, but gaming is gorgeous.
10/10 thats impressive. and the price is normal.Quote:
