Hello all, I am looking for specific experiences on certain bits of hardware - throw in you usual suggestions if you like but I am really interested in these questions:
1) Dennis S. and others - did you ever sort out the Matrox G550 issue you had? I know the G550 has pretty poor 3D performance but Protel is not 3D. I want really sharp image, so video card must have high speed low jitter RAMDACs. Brian G. - you know your way around graphics - what moderately priced graphics cards are doing it for you these days? Must have dual monitor support. Prefer either nVidia based or Matrox. Must support different resolutions and refresh rates for each monitor. (OS is Win2k SP2). I am not hugely sensitive to flicker. Anything over 72Hz is OK for me - so I usually use a lowish refresh in order to improve image focus and reduce smearing. 2) Monitors - I need sharp sharp sharp - colour rendition is not critical. I do not like Sony much (overpriced and I find the damper wires are irritating even after some period of use - but if I have to have them so be it). I am interested in the newer Hitachi displays which use digital convergence correction in many zones across the screen. Any had any experience? Don't bother suggesting Eizo as they are a real pain to source in this country. I have a really bad Cornerstone 21" (basically a Hitachi monitor). I have the cover off and a tuning tool in hand and tweak the focus regularly. Always very poor. This will become the second monitor as it is OK for PCB work - just not Sch and text work. I am not sure I need a 21" - a 19" will probably do - especially if it improves the focus and convergence.
