    Make sure the screen is set to Standard and not Fill. Other than that, there is pretty much nothing you can do if your computer is ignoring the screen when sending the BIOS info. Unless you're running a laptop, then there's some key combinations that might get it to stop doing that. In my...

    LCDs shouldn't be set higher than 60hz. They don't "refresh" like CRTs do. Unfortunately, few games take this into consideration, so just turn Vsync off.

    LCDs don't have a refresh rate. If you're asking what refresh rate to set it to in your driver, it's 60hz. If you're asking what the how quick it can cycle pixels, it's 8ms.

    Pretty sad that you'd just give up like that. Make sure you have Nvidia's latest drivers, and if necessary, call their support and ask them how you can enable HDTV resolutions (specificall 1080p). I'm sure you'll be satisfied one you get it working, though you'd be even more satisfied if you...

    For the record ... there's no such thing as an "SVGA cable". If someone claims to be selling an SVGA cable, then it's just marketing. VGA, when referring to screen resolution, is 640x480, while the SVGA resolution is 800x600. VGA when referring to the cable or the port is just short for the...

    Ooooh, careful there. HDCP is NOT a requirement for an HD input. If you're viewing protected content, it doesn't even matter if the content is truly HD ... without HDCP you won't see it. However, since it's only used for HD content, you could say (come on college logic class) that HDCP is...

    That's not entirely correct. The newer 1080p displays are basically running at higher framerates so that they can simply triple (72hz) or quintuple (120hz) the frames and not have to throw out any data. A 60hz screen would need to triple the odd frames and double the even frames to reach 60...

    You're right, but for the wrong reasons. :) Seriously, he's talking about movies that were shot in the standard film framerate of 24fps. From what I understand, this will NOT do 24fps natively. Essentially, you'd need a device that could do a 3:2 inverse pulldown to convert the 24...

    I'm feeling charitable tonight so I'm going to avoid making the obvious one-handed surfing, low-def internet porn joke right now. :)

    You WILL get the SE. The fact that there's an SE version at all suggests that Westinghouse has stopped making the earlier revision at all. You can always return it ... Costco's return policy is quite good. Or you can keep it and get a DVI switcher, or even a DVI to HDMI adapter.

    I really wouldn't be expecting any additional price drops on this monitor. I have a feeling that this is about as low as it may ever get. This same screen has been around for a few years, and while the SE revision is new, it's largely the same screen. Westinghouse will replace it sooner or...

    Could someone with the new revision of the monitor and an Xbox 360 running through VGA confirm if the auto-adjustment issue still exists if you switch to the VGA input before booting the 360? The old revision had a problem where the auto-adjustment would screw up the calibration and make the...

    When did I say that? I said no such thing. Rendering issues are cosmetic, they RARELY affect performance unless they simply aren't rendering at all. Usually, it's something being rendered incorrectly. Regardless, I don't know why you guys are flaming me for this ... I just reposted what...

    It means nothing. The scores were for valid runs. They're just commenting that the game is still beta, and sometimes there were rendering errors or crashes. These results are not indicitive of real-world performance. One, because it's a synthetic benchmark. Two, because this is still...
