1900FP Multi-Monitor Review Problems
I did run
into a few problems with these LCDs. One is the fuzzy font at
certain refresh rates. If you leave it at 60hz though like Dell
tells you do you won't have any problems hehe. Another problem is
that I wish these things could rotate 90 degrees. If you
disconnected it from the stand and turned it 90 degrees, and then you
got a program that could turn the screen 90 degrees that would
rock. But you'd have to unscrew it each time. Now, Nview
does allow you to rotate your screen 90 degrees, but only ONE
screen. Bummer :( The next problem I know alot are going to
frown upon and that is ghosting. Yes there is some ghosting on
this LCD. It seems that when something black moves over something
grey, you get a streak. I notice this alot in counter strike as
the walls are often grey. Do not let this single flaw deter you
from buying one of these LCDs though. They are great for
gaming. C&C Generals looks amazing, DVDs look amazing (and I
didn't notice really any blur on DVDs) and graphics, 2D apps, etc are
great. Small text is also very legible.
So, if you're playing a colorful game, these LCDs are wonderful.
And also dark games ARE playable. It's just like I said, dark
colors like a black silhouette going over a grey background which will
give you ghosting. If you're looking for a super duper gaming LCD
I recommend the 1800FP. ;)
Conclusion
As you can
tell, I really liked these LCDs. I believe they'll last me for
quite a while. The only thing that I would want to upgrade to
right now is Flat CRT and that technology seems quite a distance
away. As I said in the intro, these puppies are gonna cost you
around $750 or so depending on the deal of the week @ Dell but I feel it
is money well spent! I hope you all enjoyed the
review.
If you noticed I didn't get technical about all the timings and malarky
because I wanted to tell you how my experience was. What the
actual product is like. And as always, check back on Maximum OC
for more LCD reviews in the future :) Questions
