How do you check for backlighting as well as Dead Pixels?  Yes is a lame question.

If you don't notice any problems, why would you want to go out trying to find some? Is finding defects going to increase enjoyment of your monitor?

got it yesterday, no dead pixels but a bit of backlight issues.

i wonder if it's good to be that bright for your eyes this screen?

btw, what's that usb cable that goes from the LCD to the pc? i don't get it

I think the cable is for using the usb ports.

I also reduced bright to 0 for the osd.

im not searching through 95+ pages to ask this.... but would i be able to play games ok w/ my FX5900 on this widescreen? i wouldnt want to have to run under native b/c then it looks crappy... like hitting HL2 with an ugly stick...

Was just wondering no need to get all sarcastic.

I wasn't being sarcastic. I'm just saying if you dont' see any problems with it why would you want to find some?

You're an idiot and obviously wouldn't know a good monitor if it slapped you in the face.

well mine arrived today, just finished setting it up now :D and i must say it is pretty :D

as far as i can see i have no back light probs, but i do have some dead pixels

2 are dead, 1 is 2 or 3 inches left of center and down about 1 or 2

the second is right below the e on neowin in my bookmark bar on firefox :p

and i have 1 that is stuck on cyan, but you dont notice it unless the screen is compleatly black for a little while

i am pretty sure dell wont take it back for 3 fudged pixels so i guess i am happy, i will see how it goes playing WoW tonight :)

OH NO PLEASE NO.

half-life 2 in 1680x1050 works smooth and great, no lag.

but when i play pro evolution soccer 4 its so weird, its most of the time laggy and ghosting, it can only set non native resolutions so i play with 1280x1024...

can anyone help me please.

    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
