I can't get the monitor to work over displayport. HDMI seems fine, but when i tried the included displayport cable with my 6850 (no adapter, full size DP to full size DP), a popup message in windows that says "DisplayPort Lower Setting Applied" and the maximum resolution i can select is...

The reason some people see it and some people don't is probably because some people never user their monitors in complete darkness. With an all-black screen in a dark room at night, the gamma shift (and the backlight) is really noticeable on my F2380, but with the lights on, i can't see the...

For me, watching on one monitor vs. three would heavily depend on what movie I was watching. For 1.85:1 movies I would only use one screen, but for 2.35:1 aspect ratio movies I would definitely zoom the movie image so that the top and bottom fills the vertical height of the screens, and let the...

I just got this monitor and it seems well built. Nice and bright. There is no backlight leaking around the edges at all, however, the black level just isn't low enough for me to watch movies in a dark room. I wanted to upgrade from my Dell G2410 led and this does not have any better blacks...

Ah, okay great. So basically the EV2333 has better blacks at any given luminance than any of the others. Actually the opposite is true. In a dark room at lower luminance levels, your eyeballs adjust and the black level becomes very noticeable. Obviously when you have a bunch of bright content...

Well on the F2380 it looks as if the lower you make the brightness, the higher the contrast seems to get, so the 7000:1 "maximum contrast" they mentioned (not in the calibration section, btw) was probably with the minimum luminance of 42cdm2 with the brightness at 0%. That would be 0.006. You...

Well I took my wad o' cash to the monitor store again today, and this time I draped my jacket over the top of the VW2420, dropped the brightness to 0 and examined the black level under my "hood" (and probably looked like an idiot doing it, but how else am I going to compare to my home viewing...

Wow I didn't even know Toshiba had local-dimming sets. I've been eyeballing LG's 2nd-generation local dimming LE8500 / Vizio XVT3 series for a while now, but then I saw the LEX8 review and decided that it will probably be worth the wait.

Thanks for setting me straight about the PCMonitors.org review. The BenQ numbers at TFTcentral are very promising. I am really torn between these two monitors now! F2380 pros: Deeper blacks; better looks; thinner bezel & rotation better for eyefinity upgrade. F2380 cons: Crushed shadow detail...

Wow, thanks for the response! I'll see if the Eizo is available. NCX, When you measured the F2380MX and Benq EW2420 at 120cdm/2 and 0.04cdm/2, what were the monitors' respective brightness settings? From the other reviews, it seems like the Benq will only go as low as 0.04 or 0.03 when set to...

Which display has the lowest black level? My environment is always dark with no lights on, so any backlight bleed is very noticeable to me. I'm guessing my options are pretty much limited to the Samsung F2380 or the Benq VW/EW2420. Unfortunately there is no 2333T or F2380MX/M where i live...

It is no random scene that they do testing of dynamic contrast on. It isn't a "scene" at all. , It's as I described below. Don't get me wrong, I am fully planning on buying this monitor if it ever actually arrives and has similar performance to the 204. I just won't use the auto contrast...

With all the hype Sony is making recently about "1080p FullHD," I dont see how you could go wrong with 1080p. The PS3 was designed to output 1080p perfectly, so just output that to your 1080p display. Unless you're telling me that when you have your PS3 set to output 1080p, and that the...

DLP is digital just like LCD. So it's going to be way closer to LCD than CRT, functionally. It's probably only going to accept something around 50-60hz just like most lcds do. I had a dlp projector that wanted 57 to get it to display in dvi at native resolution.. Come to think of it...

I guess if you wanted to use bigger numbers to show the difference between 15:9 and 16:9...but my math teacher told me to use the smallest numbers possible for fractions, so it's 5:3. Same reason people don't say "12:9" when they mean 4:3.
