*************************
I think you need to consider a few things here. Response time is important obviously, and modern TN Film panels are quite comparable with modern S-PVA / P-MVA / S-IPS panels in practice, where the 3 latter technologies are using RTC to boost grey to grey transitions. Nowadays, where the problem still lies with TFT screens for some users is with perceived motion blur. You could maye consider displays such as the BenQ Fp241WZ which feature additional technologies to help eliminate/reduce this. Their BFI technlogy can help in some cases, and is one of the few methods around which seems to have some positive improvements for gaming in practice.
Other elements of panel technolgy do come into play as well, no matter what use you are considering. Black depth for instance is important as it can help mean darker scenes are well rendered and details are not lost. Viewing angles are important too, especially on screens this size. On the Samsung SM245B / E248WFP which is TN Film,
Ermm...., in plain english please
I'm not the most technology-minded person, and cant understand a lot of that.:o0 -

Well I finally got the beast that is the 30" Dell 3007WFP.
I know a few people were interested to see what this looked like. Heres's a pic that I took with my camera phone. I'll take a better one later with my wife's camera. 6 Ipoker Tables no overlap
. it's hard to fully apprecaiet the size of this monitor from that pic, the monitor beside it is the Dell 2001 FP which measures 20.1", so compare it to that monitor and you get some idea .

I'd say you can get 8 on there.
Rotate the screen 90 degrees, physically and digitally (right click the desktop and its an option),
try it out and take a pic0 -

Is there not a release on the back to spin/remount it.
For ****s and giggles, see if the 8 fit anyway.
Nope there is no release thing on the back, rememember this thing is massive, the height of the stand would need to be much much bigger to allow the thing to swivel around, so I guess Dell didn't bother implementing that capability in this model.
I had to get a new graphics card for this monitor an MSI NX7300GT TD256. So I don't know how to rotate the screen digitally yet. I'll see if i can figure it out though

Unless it is different from other windows/moniters
right click on desktop, graphic options, rotation....
or graphics properties.....
Yeah it appears to be different. I had to right click on windows and click on NVIDIA Control center, I easily sorted it from there. It was a right pain to try to arrange the 8 tables, so hope you like it
.
There appears to be the faintest overlap horizontally, vertically there was none. pity that i can't physically rotate the beast, looks like I'll just have to settle for 6

wow nice one Lucky
I know you also got it from pcbuyit.
A word of warning for those who do decide to buy from them. I bough my 24" from them and it's an excellent piec of kit and have no complaints with it apart from their customer service...
After ordering it I mailed them several times and they had "no record" of my transaction until I provided CC receipt and then they discovered it had been sent to another boardsie who had been away on holidays and didn't know it had arrived (he had also ordered and recieved his one a few weeks earlier).... I decided to go an collect it and had to make a 4 hour round trip to get it... Many thanks fellow boardsie for honesty and intesrity
I mailed PC buy it to tell them that I now had it and wasn't very happy about the whole mix up and that my reciept for guarantee was now in other guys name and I had paid for delievery charges and stil had ot go colect the thing...
they have chosen to ignore or failed to respond since (I purposly didn't post earlier to give them time to reply) Only correspondence was a nasty phone call to the poor boardsies place of work wher he spoke to his father who only knew that a package had arrived for his son but knew no more.... I think he was set "right" on this call
simple mail from them to say sorry about mix up..... here's new warrenty reciept....... wont happen again and next time you order we'll look after you..... would have sufficed...
Anyway buyer beware I say! but can't fault the monitor...0 -

Cheers Paul. Personally I didn't have any issue with PCbuy-it as such. The guy Simon can seem to be for want of a better description a bit abrupt on the phone, but i'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he's a busy man. Nonetheless from my chat with Paul on msn by the sound of things Simon could perhaps have handled his PR here a lot better.
Anyway as I say no complaints from my part. I got a great piece of kit for a helluva lot cheaper than I could have got it from Dell.
I had my own shenanigans in regards to delivery but nothing bad just kinda funny and typically Portuguese. I got a phonecall on Wednesday from the Fed-Ex guy, I could just about make out with my pigeon Portuguese that he wanted to meet in a town about 25km from where I live where I could collect it off him the following day, otherwise I would have had to wait at least another day, and believe me in Portugal that waiting another day could mean the end of the following week or worse still delivered to some other foreigners house in some other nearby village, so I didn't want to take any chance.
I had to get a Portuguese friend to ring him back to make sure I had understood him right, so the next day I ended up collecting this Monitor outside a BP station 25kms from my place. 0 -

I can confirm Macs version as i was the Boardsie that recieved hes monitor. I had bought the exact same monitor 3 or 4 weeks before. Then while i was away a package came to the same place my original monitor came my familys business in Athlone, and it was left in the office with all the other packages that come.
Around the time i got back Mac sent me an email saying that they might have delivered the monitor to me instead and when i checked it out and it was in the office i offered to have it deliver it to Mac the next morning and i would contact pcbuyit to reclaim the delivery costs and so he wouldnt be delayed any longer, so it wasnt my fault or Macs fault that they delieverd the monitor to an address 2hrs away from where it was supposed to be as i presume he lives somewhere in Dublin.
But he arranged to drive down the next day instead and collect it from the shop, saving pcbuyit the extra delivery charge. I wasnt going to be there so i had passed on word that someone would be in to collect it some part of the day. Shortly after it was picked up my Father recieved a call asking for me, he recognised the number was from England and put 2 and 2 together as i had explained to him that they delivered it from England to me again instead of someone else and so he asked was it about the monitor and when told it was he said that someone had just collected it and everything is sorted.
At this point whoever was on the phone from pcbuyit became very ignorant and said that no arrangments were made for anyone to pick it up yet and that they were picking it by courier in the next day or 2 and that my credit card would be charged for another monitor if there were any problems with him recieving the monitor.
He was quickly told that if he wanted to be so smart he would be getting a bill for having the monitor on our premises as were running a restaurant not a storage facilty for them.
Now the mistake was obviously on their end and i dont know how they can mix up an address in Athlone with an address in Dublin, their customer Mac, got hes order delayed and my father got a mouthful down the phone for explaining a situation and i obviosuly got no thanks for helping to reslove the situation so from that point of view you would think that they would be thankful to me instead of rude and very apologetic to Mac who was more than inconvienienced by this having to make a 4hr trip because of their messup.
They should understand that the word pcbuyit and pcbuyit.co.uk is mentioned so much in this thread that it will show up in the search engines and will become bad publicity for them and they should have handled it better. I certainly wouldnt buy off them again i will almost certainly be buying more monitors. Considering Me, Mac and Lucky have bought 3 monitors on the publicity from this thread alone should make them aware how important reasonable customer service is.
The one thing i will say is i had no problems at all with my original delivery and at that stage i was impressed with the service but not after the latest fiasco.0 -
