streaml1ne Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 I just this 19" L90D+ LCD and it's so slick I just had to plug it:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16824179014And the Toms Hardware review:http://graphics.tomshardware.com/display/2...215/lcd-01.htmlThis is seriously a wicked LCD. The panel is vibrant and sharp as a tack even through the analog input. It has a very fast refresh, DVD watching was very good on it. As the Toms review said its color reproduction is fantastic. It has input selection so you can connect two PCs, one via analog, one via digital and use a cheap kvm to switch keyboard and mouse to the second PC. It's excellent right out of the box, I haven't even tried to do any calibration yet. Very very pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MZ-NH1 Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Awesome!I am currently looking for all the parts for my new beast of a PC, and this monitor captured my eyes!It looks awesome! and @ 8ms responce, and some other good features it looks like a definate buy for me!1 question mate, it says on the Hyundai web site that the minotor comes with inbuilt speakers...Is this true? if so, where abouts are the speakers? Because me and some others, in all the pics we have seen, cannot see the blasted speakers! Got any pics yourself of what it looks like working?

Got any pics yourself of what it looks like working?←The speakers are in the rear of the unit, they're rated at 2 watts and sound OK, but for such low profile speakers I don't know that you should expect anything great. There's also a headphone out on the back of the unit so you can bypass to good phones. Unfortunately all the photos I'm taking don't do the screen justice. This screen can also rotate 90 degrees for a vertical image which is good if you do any desktop publishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MZ-NH1 Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Thanks very much for that.Just read Tom's Harwarde review. Says it is a really good monitor for gaming, but for watching videos, the viewing angle isn't very good.When it says that (I dunno if you have had the chance to try it out yet) Is that suppose to mean that when you are on say a 45 degree angle to monitor, you can't see the screen? I would be the only 1 watching videos, so could just rotate the screen as you say is possible... so watching videos should be fine then shouldn't it?

The screen rotates vertically, so you can go from 1280x1024 to 1024x1280. Picture turning your monitor on its side. It also tilts front to back to adjust for viewing height. One thing to note, it is very bright from the factory. I turned the brightness down a few notches until my eyes were comfortable. Contrast remained intact as Toms mentioned.

Doom 3 is really vibrant, nice and dark with great contrast. The panel refresh is very fast, if there is any ghosting I can't see it. I'll give HL2 and Counter-Strike a run tomorrow. I'm on my FreeBSD system now using Blender and browsing the web. Crisp and clean throughout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Cool monitor. I almost got this one a while ago but I found a 1905FP from Dell for $275USD and had to bite on it. What kind of graphics card are you using with this, and are you employing DVI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of graphics card are you using with this, and are you employing DVI?←Two cards actually. One is a 6600GT from XFX on the DVI input. The other is an onboard MSI GeForce 4 on the analog input. It's equally sharp on both it seems. There's certainly no glaring performance loss by using the analog input, I'd have to spend alot of time testing to find a difference.
