19" Monitors E250

Bateman

Does anyone reckon that flatscreen monitors are due a price decrease anytime soon? Like a lot of other stuff with regard to computer technology, Ireland seems to be last in this...

Gerry

I dunno, 250 euro looks like a good price to me..
You can get any monitor you want from dabs though, and its 20 sterling shipping.

Id like to think that monitors were comming down in price. But lidl get some great bargins in from time to time so i wouldent think that they are setting the standard for a 19" flatscreen.

Gerry

I rang LIDL today, and the monitors are all gone in Ireland, apparently.

Anyway Doodee, make sure the colour temperature is at 9500. Makes a major difference to me. I'm now prepared to compare the screen to the 19" trinitron in work

Well the problem was my gfx card for some reason. The problem was that it couldn't display 640*480 at all no matter what refresh rate. I re-installed the gfx card and it worked fine. Also i find that using the standard windows monitor drivers rather than the ones you get with the monitor are much better

3 monitors left in Killarney yesterday.

i also got one of these and am very happy with it
1024x768 @ 110 hz it can do 120 at that res but it seems a bit blured its very sharp at 110 hz

There'll most liekly be more stuff shortly enough, they get in new stock every month or so, don't they?

Spunog UIE

new stuff is out every thursday but it isnt' always comp stuff, ya usually get some sort of electronics tho but could be anything.

Is anybody using a geforce 2 with it? I am and the refresh rate stays at 60 hz for games but its 100 hz in windows. I dunno much about refresh rates so a litlle help would be appreciated. Also i dunno if Syx's post applies to this.

Dr.Seagull

im using a gf2 with mine
i would say this has something to do with windows using the default refresh rate for res that differ from your desktop i use powerstrip so i can pick what hz i want for each resolution maybe u should try it

BabyEater

I get the same in windows it says that i am at 85hz but in counterstrike i am only getting 60fps instead of 85

Nvidia refresh rate fix program here:

Note that it does say that it won't work with 27.41 drivers or later, it works fine for me with the 23.11 drivers though.

There are 28.35s out now which apparently are compatible with the refreshrate fixer.
Don't have a link handy but http://www.madonion.com is ust one of the place I came across them.

I think the number for the Irish headquarters (newbridge) is

045 440 400 , and you can ask them where the other stores are.

In the Lidl store, Donegal town
there were 5 at 12.20

zAbbo

Logically speaking, one was sold adeypius
