Recommended Posts

:p Got mine... $384. No dead pixels, no backlighting leak... Playing WoW widescreen...heaven-like.

But true this screen is BRIGHT... of well one less reason to go outside for tanning.

Got the coupon (40% off + $65 off) from www.techbargains.com

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.

USB hub. :)

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.

    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,  
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
