Digital Connection
This was the first time I had gotten to play with a DVI connection, so I was unsure what to expect. So I connected the monitor up to the DVI connection and booted into Windows 2000. Every thing looked really fine. I set the resolution to 1600X1200. So the first thing that I did was bring up some Serious Sam. The picture quality was great and very sharp. I then brought up some Quake III. Upon launching Quake III I noticed that it started to flicker a "ghost" image about half way down the screen. The flickering was so bad that it made Quake III unplayable. The same for Ultima Online. DVD playback was clean except for a few flickering images like what I have described before. I did bring up a trial version of AutoCAD and played around with that. It looked very good. The size of the monitor makes it really easy to work on large drawings in close detail. Analog Connection I pulled out the DVI connection and used the analog connection next. Again I brought up Serious Sam. It still looked great. I was able to play Quake III and Ultima Online with no flickering images or any other anomalies. DVD playback was sharp and very clear. Again no flickering images. One thing that I did notice was how clear playback was compared to my CRT. The picture was at least 100% sharper on the LCD monitor. The PIP function is cool. I did not run into any problems trying to play a video signal into the monitor. It looks way better than a regular TV. You have the ability to have a PIP of the video in on your desktop, run video in at full screen, or have a PIP window of your desktop on the video full screen.
