In Digital mode using a DVI cable the resolutions are very few and none seem to be correct and they are usually at 60 hz. The shapes are either to high or to wide. Text is not good at all.

In Bestbuy the monitor looks great but it's running in VGA mode.
It won't work at all in VGA mode for me. Even with the supplied vga cable and a dvi-vga converter on the 7950 GX2 video card.

This monitor has a glossy finish but still has anti-glare. When screen is black you can see everything behind you but when there is a picture showing or playing a game it's just fine.

When I was in COD2 the colors seemed limited somehow. I didn't notice any lag or ghosting at all.

I guess with the right video card it could be an awesome monitor.
Just won't work correctly for me.

Oh well, I guess I will return it today.

I have vga working. The problem was the converter plug being only digital.

I don't think i've ever seen someone quote themselves before...

Anyway did you try un- and re-installing your video drivers? Your video card is perfectly capable of running that monitor, so unless the monitor itself is defective, it's not the source of your problem.

What kind of display did you have before? For dull colors you can always raise the 'color vibrance' in you nvidia control panel. Whiel your'e in there you may want to alter the scaling options.

Oh and maked sure you monitor is plugged into the primary vidoe-out on your card. Typically it's teh onle closest to your mobo. It shouldn't matter, but previously it's made a difference when i change my display setups.

Digital connection works.

Bioshock in 1680 x 1050 is incredible.

Don't know what the patch did, but if you don't install it, don't forget to use the special patch of this site.
