Now how can you argue with logic like that???

Seems to me then, you got 2 choices! Get and work in one of those pressurised chambers or move to someplace not so far above sea level.


There again, you've not wearing those specs with the graduating tint... have ya??? ]]>http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/172221http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/172221Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:24:21 -04002008-07-04T01:24:21starkers on Really Strange problemvStylerhttp://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/172221]]>http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/172221http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/172221Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:24:21 -04002008-07-04T01:24:21vStyler on Really Strange problemMindlessPuppethttp://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/172221
I urge anyone buying a new LCD to consider SOYO as a name brand.. its an EXCELLENT monitor, no gradients, no dead pixels...possibly my favorite purchase..ever.

Really bothers me that companies are pawning off these monitors with on screen gradients to people.. its getting to where people expect it to be that way when it doesn't have to be.


Wish I knew that before I bought my Samsung (sometime in october), thing drives me nuts. And I don't care what a hundred some studies say, my CRT didn't cause half the eye this LCD does... kinda pointless buying a 22 inch monitor when you can only use the middle 6 inches.

Thanks John ]]>http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/172221http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/172221Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:24:21 -04002008-07-04T01:24:212of3 on Really Strange problemvStylerhttp://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/172221JUST this reason...most newer LCD monitors are just not made very well.. you should not have to look straight on at a monitor to see it the way it should look, it should look the same at the top or bottom of the screen, left or right.

I finally bought a monitor by a company called SOYO it has zero gradient.. doesnt matter what angle I look at it, is a 24' LCD and I got a steal on it at 299$. It's a SOYO Topaz S

Try looking at your screen from different heights. You'll have true color at whatever point on the screen is direct line of sight. As Mindless Puppet said, take a screenshot and have a good look. That'll set your mind at ease if nothing else.

As for the old CRT.. Could have been age causing it to go darker at the top. I've seen them do some weird things.

It's an Nvidia G-Force 6200.

Boxxi said that the same thing happened with his previous CRT


would that have the same effect?


Difficult to say, not very possible they are the same. Since both graphics card and monitor were recently changed, whatever was happening with his old setup is not likely the same as his new setup. I do know there is a certain amount of this visual effect with all LCD screens.]]>http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/172221http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/172221Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:24:21 -04002008-07-04T01:24:21BigDogBigFeet on Really Strange problemZubazhttp://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/172221
However. . . Boxxi said that the same thing happened with his previous CRT . . would that have the same effect? I am thinkign not.

I agree BigDog. I have an LCD monitor, and the same things happen with me.

Surely it can't be the NEW graphics card as it happened on the old crt without it,assuming i read your post right,will it still do it if you use the old g/card but on the new monitor.]]>http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/172221http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/172221Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:24:21 -04002008-07-04T01:24:21xscorpx on Really Strange problemstarkershttp://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/172221 ]]>http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/172221http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/172221Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:24:21 -04002008-07-04T01:24:21starkers on Really Strange problemMindlessPuppethttp://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/172221http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/172221http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/172221Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:24:21 -04002008-07-04T01:24:21MindlessPuppet on Really Strange problemHG_Eliminatorhttp://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/164677http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/164677http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/164677Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:24:21 -04002008-07-04T01:24:21HG_Eliminator on Pownce!!Island Doghttp://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/164677

I'm with Paxx on this one. Why learn Java is you have the opportunity to do Web Development. Java is typically the language used on the back-end in Java based web applications with JSP serving as the scripting language. If you aren't already familiar with HTML, CSS, and Javascript or VBScript I'd suggest you start there. Learning Java won't give you much of a basis for web development, but it is a nice language although steer clear of Swing programming if you can it's really annoying.. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask I was a Java developer for 3 years so I have a pretty good background in the language and it's supporting technologies.

Good Luck!! ]]>http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/63955http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/63955Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:24:21 -04002008-07-04T01:24:21Kevin_C on Programming in Java......paxxhttp://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/63955http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/63955http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/63955Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:24:21 -04002008-07-04T01:24:21paxx on Programming in Java......Doggy Poopyhttp://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/63955 Please some1 answer..]]>http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/63955http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/63955Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:24:21 -04002008-07-04T01:24:21Doggy Poopy on Programming in Java......Doggy Poopyhttp://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/63955 How do i get the clock i downloaded to shoiw up on my desktop?]]>http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/63955http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/63955Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:24:21 -04002008-07-04T01:24:21Doggy Poopy on Programming in Java......paxxhttp://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/63955 Since you said you have no knowledge of programming at all, I am assuming you don't know HTML, or any scripting language such as javascript and VBscript.
