Hi Everyone,

I just got my 2001fp yesterday and have it up and running. It was displaying beautifully until...I changed my wallpaper. I went to the sony spider-man site and applied the spider-man wallpaper with the bright orange background... click here to see the wallpaper ----> spidey wallpaper

Once this was applied, a vertical line of red pixels began to flash vertically along the left side of my monitor, about an inch in. This is really annoying. It's odd because the line of vertical flashing pixels only appears when I have bright reddish/orange images on the screen.

I'm utilizing DVI and have updated the video card and monitor drivers. The problem still remains.

Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions on how I may arrive at a resolution? Or could this monitor be defective?

Thank you, I appreciate the help.

Have a look in the advanced options for your display drivers. There should be an option for "Alternate DVI operation mode" or "Reduce DVI frequency on High Resolution displays" Both of these are under the Options tab in the ATi drivers, im not sure where that would be on nVidia drivers but they should still have the option.

Enabling those should fix your problem. I have a few million green and red pixels flashing all over my screen when i first got it, enabling those fixed it for me.

Nice Monitor, but will stay with a CRT from Dell. Having multiple resolutions is great. (gotten used to it) Would go crazy at the fuzzy LCD when run on something besides the default Resolution.

The only plus i think LCD's have, is that they take up less space.

But having an LCD an my main monitor is just not acceptable.

Hell even if i would not play games, watching TV on it at a lower resolution is FUZZ heaven. Plus would'nt buy any LCD that cant support HD resolution of 1920 at least. All high end CRT monitors do.

But as far as LCD's go, i would buy this very one, has a Goog Price/Features.

Obviously an LCD is not for you. But they do have their advantages.

First, they can be easier on the eyes for some people, refresh rates and such,

They consume MUCH less power.

They weigh MUCH less. Very important for a LAN gamer.

And you can't forget the fact that a good LCD has a "cool factor" that a CRT will never have ;)

I'm like that other guy. LCD's just ain't my thing. But if I were to get one, I think this one may be one of the very best to get. 4:3 ratio, true 24 bit color, and cool factor. They are mega spendy though, and don't color match and game as good as CRT's do, it would seem. I think I'd rather buy a 21" or 22" monitor that can do 2048x1536 at 75hz for half the price of this LCD that does 1600x1200 in the same space. Still, nice piece of work, it is. :)

Hiya Dazzla,

Im new to the forum and i love your setup, was planning to get a 172x but *drool* 2001FP looks amazing. *kudos*

Im already enquiring about getting one here in my country.

That being said. I notice your XP theme, it's like apple OS and there's this Calender on the lower right hand side of your screen.(me like that)

May i ask where i can get it? Is it a theme or is that really Apple OS?? lol :)

Sorry me is noob :)

Will post my 2001FP as soon as i get it :)

Thanks for Sharing.

    • Along with that and very unfortunate for Linux, the AI boom/tariffs/global supply chain instability really destroyed any chances of it getting a decent chunk of market share. By all accounts, if a Steam Deck was still available for $399 (with tons of alternatives releasing at $500-$800 - instead of $1500+ now) and the Steam Machine was out there for $499, I think a lot of people WOULD have been willing to try SteamOS and switch away from Windows. But yeah, with the crazy jacked up prices now, people have to make safe bets with their money.
    • Neowin hasn't been covering the Ladybird browser but it has been posted about on a lot of tech and Linux/open source sites. I have been following the effort myself for almost a year now. Cloudflare and Proton are among their sponsors. You can read the why here--> https://ladybird.org/#about
    • That's really the user's problem, not the developers. It's not like the Windows 10 EOL was a surprise. Once a product goes out of support, you have to understand YOU are owning the risk of running it - the rest of the world will move on, maybe you'll be OK, maybe you'll be OK for a while, maybe you'll have an issue.... But you can't expect devs to write or certify software for dead operating systems.
    • Not mentioned in this blog post is that Linux has now dropped for 2 months in a row. At a hight of 5.33% in March, then 4.52% in April and now 3.99% in May. I suspect the end of Windows 10 got a bunch of people to try Linux, fueled by all the Microsoft hate, and rabid social media push of that....and now they are going back to Windows 11 because of the normal Linux issues. The vast majority of PC gamers want to use their computers to game and not trouble shoot why a game wont work, or half work.
