I know this is an old topic but I was Googling for the same thing and this came out near top. Bagman mode in Kingpin was awesome. The best multiplayer game experience of my life. This mode of game play should be in other online FPS games the same as the default deathmatch & CTF modes (IMHO).

Honestly I was going to post this as soon as I saw the thread title and then got distracted by reading responses to find you have already beat me to it. hehe.

Is both the launch server for the game and the website + forums currently down for anyone else? I can't get on anything for a few hours now. :(

Don't let me put you off. For the price it is a good monitor specification wise. However, if you are a little fussy and have sensitive eyes like me than I'd say it is definitely worth saving up a bit more cash. If you are stuck firmly on a budget for spending than I don't think there is...

Don't patronize me. I know how to set the height of a monitor and calibrate one. As for the specsavers joke, well you'll have to visit one yourself after using this monitor for any prolonged period of time. My eyes are very good and I can tell you now this monitor was hugely...

I've bit my lip for too long. I actually came to this thread to cancel my notifications as I am sick of them popping up. But I just have to leave saying my bit even though it is against the majority. I spent over £1,000 on my build and this monitor was the weak link. It was terrible. I...

I'm sorry but the Revo sucks for 1080p movie playback of any type. I am still making amends with my friend over this **** up. Avoid it like the plague if you want a 1080p HTPC. Worst advice I have ever had here or anywhere. I'll make sure in future to do a much better research job over...

I have same problem. It is simply too bright. I've got Photophobia too which is making this monitor physically painful for me to use.

@misterqx - Great stuff. Had a long day and need to grab some sleep. But I'll be trying this 1st thing when I awake, as I am still not happy with my colours & brightness so far.

Just want to say that 2x Sharkoon Silent Eagle 1000s in push pull on a megalathon is more silent than the kiddie cooling Corsair H50 and cools much better. Don't be fooled in to thinking that pump is quiet simply because it is water cooling (also you know it has a fan anyway?). Also as I say...

Personally I'd ditch the sound card for a much better and half the price E-mu 0404 PCIe soundcard which is pro 24bit (one of Creatives Pro Audio Range cards - same company, just different name for audio production). I'd also get 2x Radeon 5770 Vapor in crossfireX with the money saved on...

I'd say for movies (if sat directly in front at a desk - not on sofa or bed) than it is very good. For general web browsing it is also good (although colours seem washed out). You can also get it pin sharp too. Bit too much for me so I keep sharpness down. Gaming it really excels well. I mean I...

As Phil says it comes with them and they are very easy to fit. I can't believe the temps & almost silent system I now have. Also with the mega-shrooms combo (as I now declare they are called in push/pull) it means you are future proof for Gulftown in the future for cooling an overclock on one...

UPDATE: I watched District 9 in 1080p on this monitor last night and it blew me away. The narrow viewing angle is ok for watching films (if you sit still in front). However, just gone to my website after a few days off work. Oh, jeez. it looks completely different colour wise . Not in a good...

I've tried my hardest to get my temps over 80 in stress and I am finding it simply impossible. I had to keep checking the overclock to make sure it was there because the temps just looked too cool. I highly recommend peeps buy this bundle with the megahalem & 2 Sharkoon 1000's in push/pull...

@Undesirable thanks for the tip, I'll try that. @medley I would not recommend this monitor for HTPC or Photoshop, 3D or Media work. But for your average user gaming or Internet browsing who sits still in front of a monitor at a close proximity (within 2 metres) than it is more than capable and...

I must say I have some extreme mixed views about the G2420HDB. First thing that struck me was the brightness. Far too bright. I'm photophobic too, which makes that a right pain. Reducing the brightness & contrast obviously helps. But I still get a peircing pain in my eyes. -- Secondly was...

Tsunami...... Oops, I mean Toon Army :D The monitor I wanted was not in stock so I'm getting this (BenQ G2420HDBL) instead which Phil suggested as the best option for me. To be honest, after doing some reading up, I am looking forward more than ever now. Kind of glad they didn't have my 1st...

Seeing as this topic has been bumped again..... Just ordered mine with the megahalem with two Sharkoon 1000 fans :) NOW it feels like Xmas, hehe (yeah, I had a bad one - this will hopefully make up for it). -xe-

Sorry to bother you again. Just double checking a few things: 1) The megahalem will fit in the Fractal Design case (as it has that thick sound proofing stuff). 2) The megahalem can be mounted so the fans on it pulls air from bottom up to top (instead of front to back). As I am going to use the...
