Default Re: The Official Core i7 (Intel's nehalem) Thread

to all: got myself a Samsung 2233SW LCD 22" (cudnt wait anylonger guys for the DELL IPS panel LCDs)

this Sammy 2233SW fullHD costed me Rs.10,500/- and a DVI cable costed me Rs.250/-

all's working gr8 but i jus cant set/reset (change) the contrast setting (set to 76 in CUSTOM mode) maybe i'll try to update my gpu driver to 186.xx
--------

But overall, this LCD is working gr8m, tried watching movie -- Pirates of the Carribbean and the colors were jus fantastic, also tried Crysis on the max reso of 1920x1080 and all went smooth with no GHOSTING or and LAG or dizziness with the frame rates..

ooh i see, thnax for the explaination, will connect my side fan of the cabinet to the power supply...and see

Use Riva Tuner, a free utility for monitoring temperatures and clocks of the GPU...also you can OC your GPU and increase fan speed with this utility..

Click customize and follow the pic.
ok thanx, will try this s/ware

I havent updated to 186.18 yet...I cant really be sure, it all depends on your GPU, it might be stable on mine and not on yours...just try
ok, will do that today,

Yup, tried even calling them , they hv no news on this e-IPS panel LCD so instead bought myself a 2233SW

Quote:
Samsung 2233SW is good enough though it's a TN based one ( as far as I know )
yup, u right, its a TN panel but i saw no performance glitches or slowdowns (read my 1st para)
Quote:
Don't know much about Lavender series but it's response time is lower than 2233SW. So I think it ought to be a good one. So if you can get it on a reasonable price get it. BTW, what's the price of those models you dealer is quoting ?
Well, dealer has got no Price quotes as yet, and told me it wud take even a month to see wen the LCD is gonna get launched..

but on international sites, the price was quoted as 180-200 pounds...

NOTE: will post pics soon of my new setup and LCD with sum pics of the LCD while running crysis and sum movies (non HD) (currently getting HD movies from *ahem..* sources)

Cheers n e-peace....
