Viewsonic VP231wb video playback & gaming

[Guest]

I'm looking at this an the Dell 2405FPW, I know the dell has issues playing back video but has anyone had problems with this display and video?

Viewsonic and Dell make good monitors. Dhuckle has the Dell 20" and 24" widescreen, and I believe he has no problems watching video and gaming with them. He likes the 24" better.

And the sign says "You got to have a membership card to get inside" Huh
So I got me a pen and paper And I made up my own little sign</pre><p></font color=red>

I have seen 'interesting' effects on 2405fpws at work when people are trying to make visualisation videos for meetings/workshops & THG seem to have seen similar issues during their review (maybe we're just getting hyper critical)

The problems seem to stem from the Overdrive technology it employs- that *should* get better as the technology improves (used to be called FFD....)
I would consider eyestrain on this tho because that monitor is very bright, 500 cd/m^2, and it would irritate my eyes. Up to the user tho, and you can turn down brightness.
