It's the Asus one. A very shallow reason for going for that one, it was black so the same colour as my other TFT.
Looking at the specs I couldn't see a huge deal of difference in them so figured might as well

At first it looked a bit odd but really liking it now

Not used the built in speakers though as I don't really have a need for them at the moment.

Edit: oooh and the mass effect video looks great on it

good stuff, nice choice

Haly · 20-01-2007, 22:58

And damn does Gears of War look good on it

Not even plugged it into the PC yet as it's not really a big thing for me atm, it was all about the 360 performance

Played Jen, you wont regret it

I bought a paor of 17" TFT's a couple of years ago (when 19" was uber expensive) and they've been by far the best PC related purchase I've ever made.

Dual TFT's FTW

I struggle to get used to using a single having had dual's for about 8 months.

No room for a dual here (though I'm sure I could rearrange stuff lots and find room). I'm not sure I'd get on with it anyway and it wouldn't be compatible with my KVM setup.

I love it already.
I've still not plugged it into the PC yet because I just love the convenience of 360 on one screen and PC on the other.
Don't really need masses of screen space for the PC right now although if I do at a later date it'll be fantastic.

The 360 and the TFT have so far been my best purchases in the past 6 months

Even if they were rather pricey.

Nice one Jen

glad you went with the WS one as gears won't appear stretched anymore.

Haly · 28-01-2007, 00:45

Just watched Casino Royale on the WS. Looked really good on it, nice and crisp

Although strangely windows doesn't look all that good on it :/ Think it's a drivers issue though as I can't find any drivers for the monitor anywhere so had to use some custom ones through powerstrip. Have to have a fiddle I guess, but it's not important right now as it's still primarily for the 360 and the odd film.

I know the colour needs a bit of adjusting too as it can be a bit overly vibrant, but a guy in the shop while I was waiting was telling me how you need to mess around with it a bit initially.

I had that problem (Colour being a bit overpowering) with works Dell 1905.

Monitor Calibration Wizard sorted it, though that won't help with the 360.
