Very nice, what do you use to connect your X360 to your monitor? VGA Cable ka?

Compuzone listed it at RM1350...but then again that was early Feb price....

Waiting for shumaky's review of the Viewsonic VA1912W, it's about the same price but comes with free TV tuner.... smile.gif

Damn, every time I look at chin's pictures of the CMV I get soooo tempted to go out and buy it straight away laugh.gif

No more free TV Tuner? sad.gif

Credit card is always a hassle in small shops these days. Instead of getting a discount for paying with cash, these days you need to be charged an extra 3% or so just to cover their own credit card charges. Which is why I only use my cc in big shops and pay cash for others.

Credit card = convenience? Not in LYP mad.gif

My dad once got his credit card stolen in LYP. Well he was paying for something, forgot to get it back and the store owner didn't say a thing. Just took it and used it to buy some gas or something. Problem got solved immediately though

Here is my review..
The 1912W is a great budget widescreen 19". Colors are sweet.. response time is 8ms, wiewing angle is also sweet. It has DVI and Sub-D, I use the DVI to connect to my PC and the Sub-D to the X360, hence I eliminate the need for a video switch/selector. Played a couple of DVD's like Revenge of the Sith n Gattaca, nice color reproductions and fast image turnaround no noticable lags. Dvix files also seems nicely shown. The only downside is that there will be a little black bar on top n bottom even the Movie is in widescreen format n the player is set to show in original aspect. This is because the 1912W is 16:10 and not the normal 16:9 widescreen ratio you tend to find in other widescreen displays. Nonetheless is a small thingy to me. Games on the X360 are gorgeous man. Its breathtaking to finally go to resolutions like 1280x768. Which the 1912W will do. Its all good man, PGR3 loooks stunning n Joanna Dark is amazing.
For those on a budget.. Think bout it..
Cheers all.

Ooooh.....very nice, so very tempting to go straight down to LYP to buy..... biggrin.gif

Question...what cable do you use to connect your X360 to your 1912w? You said you're using Sub-D?

Damn.......buy this or GRAW + FNR3..... Decision time......

^ ya normal VGA cable coz the V1912W got DVI n VGA input so u can use bot at the same time n press the button (2) to switch between both displays..
Provided that your PC uses DVI then u can switch the inputs from the LCD itself.
IMHO, GET the V1912W n GRAW, the FNR3 can wait..

maybe u can try to hunt for 937D CMV widescreen model which have the DVi input as well.

but for me, the 937A model is really sweet enough.... oh yah, forgot to post up some screen shot from COD2 pc version lastnight. the graphic is imagine! clear and sharp! (sharpness only set to 3... max is 5~ )

but the drop down point is when playing quake4, the widescreen mode seems to be not as perfect as COD2... it might be due to the resolution setting. COD2 can set direct to 1440x920 but Quake4 only can max at 1280x768 in wide mode.... cuz even though i turn on the AA to8x, still notice a lot (gigi)~ (sorry, forgot how to explain le.)

and also when playing DVD movie, the dark colour is not as good as CRT. might need some tuning... ill make a report on that lately this weekend.

but when i play condame DEMO on xbox360.. the dark enviroment is really clear! same as CRT!

so my point is here... base on some information, this is 2nd generation of CMV's LCD monitor. so a lot of improved now.

CMV~ way to go! nice and cheap! really cheap :-)

Official MS cable or 3rd party??

Yeah, I think I'll drop FNR3..... GRAW is just too tempting to drop.

Looks like March is instant noodles month for me laugh.gif
