    Sharp 32" 1080p sets

    Sharp Aquos LC-32GP1U There's a huge thread on this over at HardForum - there are a few different models in the range, but it boils down to two products lines as far as I can tell: Aquos LC-32GP1U (32" 'Gamer') Aquos LC-37GP1U (37" 'Gamer') Aquos LC-32D62U (32" 'Standard') Aquos...

    My TFT Dell 2407WFP and PS3?

    PS3 and 2407WFP Hi, I'm in exactly the same boat, to be honest. Just got my PS3, and was relying on a scan convertor to go from component to VGA for my Philips 200W (to bye-pass the HDCP)... but it's a bust. Works fine on my Wii, but simply no good for the PS3. So, I'm looking for a...

    Asus P5B / Core 2 Duo problem

    Hiya, Just got one of the OcUK bundles... this one, in fact: Intel Core 2 DUO LGA775 E6600 2.40GHz Retail / Asus P5B / 2GB GeIL PC2-6400C4 DDR2 Dual Channel Kit - Bundle (BU-037-OK) Everything installed ok, and everything seems to be running fine. However, on boot the BIOS returns the...

    Philips 20" 200W6CS Widescreen TFT LCD

    ok, a week with this screen now and it seems to have developed something a little odd if the screen has a large pure white element - ie, a lot of whitespace on a webpage, a large explorer window open, or a white desktop - it seems to "flicker". does anyone else have this? or is it that i do...

    Philips 20" 200W6CS Widescreen TFT LCD

    it's only just come out - last month i think - and is a low-cost monitor calibrator. compared to the hundreds of quid these things used to cost, this is an absolute steal. more details here: http://www.photoscala.com/node/view/1206

    Philips 20" 200W6CS Widescreen TFT LCD

    i borrowed my mates pantone huey - whack the brightness up, stick the huey to the bezel of the screen... au voila, a few minutes later, you have a perfectly calibrated screen. great device for the price (if you leave it plugged in somewhere on the desk - ie, not still on the screen - it even...

    Philips 20" 200W6CS Widescreen TFT LCD

    i'd agree about the backlight. i've been trying it out again tonight (work has kept me in the office so i haven't had much time to play) and it does only seem to be an issue when gaming/viewing in the dark with a dark/black background. i've had the light on tonight, and it's not really that...

    dual screens

    games over two screens? i'd think you'd need some mighty heavy equipment to get decent framerates. you're talking about a LOT of pixels! i know X2:The Threat, for example, supports dual screen, but that's pretty old and doesn't push modern hardware at all - and is only on nVidia boards. this...

    Philips 20" 200W6CS Widescreen TFT LCD

    agreed, it is greatly exaggerated - but it is still there. i'll try adjusting a picture in photoshop to get the levels i see without that horrible blue hue. it's worth noting i have a very dark room - barely any ambient light at all at this time of night. to be honest, it seems to only be an...

    Philips 20" 200W6CS Widescreen TFT LCD

    hmmm. just tried adjusting it, got it a bit better but to be honest, in the darker levels of Farcry it just looks awful. i think i had a friday night special, though, as the leak is uneven along the top edge of the screen... it's in the corners, but then in little semi-circles along to top edge...

    Philips 20" 200W6CS Widescreen TFT LCD

    the camera's exaggerated it to some extend, but i really wouldn't want to try playing fear all the way through with it. going to see if fiddling with the settings does anything. i feel sick. i was so looking forward to this! (also, FEAR shows at this res. SLi is definitely needed -...

    Philips 20" 200W6CS Widescreen TFT LCD

    houston, we have a problem. desktop - wow. photo editing - wow. gameplay? wow - she's a speedy beast. BUT backlight leak like a bugger. 10 minutes in and i'm considering an RMA already. mmmm, tasty. oo-er, this isn't looking good. gaaaaak! fear is giving me the fear. this is...

    Philips 20" 200W6CS Widescreen TFT LCD

    just got mine, rushed home from work to set it up... lovely screen. no dead pixels, the colour is 500x better than on my ancient 181T, the viewing angles are better (but there is a grey-blue haze at extreme angles). just going to try some FPS and testing for backlight bleed. back in a mo with...

    Got a TFT Wallmount (pics)

    without the shop name.... do a search for "computing gas-lift arm" in google.co.uk. it's the first result. they only do furniture and chairs and stuff so it's not really a competitor to OcUK, but links to other retailers is still a no-no i guess. would OcUK ever do a section for this type of...

    Got a TFT Wallmount (pics)

    lovely looking stand there nathan. what screens are those? look pretty smart. i think TFTs waste a lot of potential if they're NOT on an arm/wall mount. once you've used one on a completely flexible arm you'll never want to go back. i picked one up a few years ago, and have since persuaded...

    Philips 20" 200W6CS Widescreen TFT LCD

    well, those pics finally made my mind up! cheers ray. order is going in. looks a lovely screen. i was waiting for the next set of viewsonic/dells, but can't wait any more for the 2022W/2025m, and with Dell's draconian measures recently i think i'll avoid them - i want to buy from OC...

    The New 20" Widescreen Monitors

    yep, thanks to your much appreciated shared wisdom through this forum i've realised that quoted response times for LCDs are much like rated power in the HiFi world - ie, a general indicator but can vary a great deal, and it's still down to getting it in front of you and seeing it in the flesh...

    How do you say what your monitor resolution is?

    it's a conspiracy! a conspiracy i say! who needs to log visitor stats to get information on people's machines when you can just ask them what res they run at! :D ;) twelve-eighty by ten-twenty-four, or one-o-two-four by seven-six-eight hopefully sixteen-eighty by ten-fifty or some such...

    The New 20" Widescreen Monitors

    i was thinking it may have been an error in the pdf, but from the other information it seems it's correct - here's the line: Response Time (typ.) [msec] 6 (gray - gray) ; 12 (tr- tf) guess the tr-tf is rise/fall, but not sure as although i keep an eye out for response times, they're still...
