NOFX December 15, 2008 Author Share NOFX Member December 15, 2008 (edited) It will seem a little big for the first few days.. After that, you will sit at your 19-22" work monitor and wonder how you got by so many years on such a small screen. This screen makes games much more enjoyable. I will guarantee you will like it. My theory is a monitor is comparable to tires on a car. The tires are the only thing that touches the road. That 400HP V8 is useless with little bicycle wheels. Your monitor is the only thing you really look at with your computer. For a gamer, an Overclocked i7 with 20 gigs of ram and 4 video cards is useless with a little monitor.. Once you upgrade those bicycle wheels you can never go back. Edited December 15, 2008 by .fx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwEEziL December 15, 2008 Share dwEEziL Member December 15, 2008 IF it gets processed in time and there is any PayPal reimbursement funds left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwEEziL December 19, 2008 Share dwEEziL Member December 19, 2008 Well, I received my monitor yesterday and I see a refund from PayPal for $50 listed in my PayPal account so...WOOT!! Also, although it didn't say it in the specs on NewEgg, it has a sticker on it that says "Full HD | 1080P" and the nVidia control panel has an HD settings section. WOOTx2!! One problem I have is that, even though the nVidia Control Panel recognized the monitor model automatically, the regular XP Display Properties only sees it as a Plug And Play Monitor. I wonder if/when I install Vista if the driver from Hanns-G site will give me more settings options in the XP Display Properties.

Well the medicine is Allopurinol cuz for some stinkin' reason I've developed gout and the poker chips are there for me to practice chip tricks while watching movies/shows on the computer.

NOFX December 19, 2008 Author Share NOFX Member December 19, 2008 1080p is just a fancy term for 1920x1080 resolution... just as 720p is just a fancy term for 1280x720 resolution.... but you don't want to run in 1920x1080. Everything will look much better if you run at it's max 1920x1200. <- I think this is it's native mode.. What other settings are you looking for? I never installed anything since I've had mine, I think it's always been plug and play. My 2 cents... 1920x1200 is 1920x1200... not much more you can set.

dwEEziL December 19, 2008 Share dwEEziL Member December 19, 2008 well, in the XP Display Properties, the highest I can go is 1920x1080. I'll double check the nVidia Control Panel. Are you running yours at 60Hz refresh rate too? I'd prefer 70Hz but, for this price, I can't be to whiny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX December 19, 2008 Author Share NOFX Member December 19, 2008 Well, I have the hannspree version. I originally had the Hanns-G, but I returned it because I bought an open box item and they no longer had hanns-G, but now hanns-spree.. It's basically the same screen, expect you don't have a bug that causes the monitor to not go to sleep. You need to get it to run at 1920x1200.. games and your desktop look much much cleaner.

Cujo December 24, 2008 Share Cujo Member December 24, 2008 i wouldn't worry about the plug and play monitor bit. vista should recognize it better. oh and ignore the nvidia hd settings section as that's for tvs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwEEziL December 24, 2008 Share dwEEziL Member December 24, 2008 I finally got it working at 1920x1200. Seems I was a few versions off from the latest nVidia drivers. Installed them and it's all gravy now. The only issue I have now is it seems there's a bug in RDP where it won't let you remote to a screen displaying at "HD" resolutions. Loverly.
