No, it should be obvious to anyone with half a brain. If there's no content
at the top - then it has to be in the body or at the bottom.
I used to be a top poster.
But that was a long time, when I was young and foolish and reckless. |

I'd guess that "dimentia" may be to "dementia" as "phlogisten" is to
"phlogiston" ... that doesn't mean that either of them ("dimentia" and
"phlogisten", that is) have to mean anything.
... but let's not start any flaming, here!
Cheers,

[Phlogiston is, of course, related to the magic smoke whose release stops

to prove this, if you've a big, preferably fairly high-res monitor,
turn it through 180 degrees without turning it off/on and degaussing,
and look closely at the screen. a slight colour stain is very common,
which'll usually clear by the automatic degauss.
it doesn't always, but can be done manually using a, well, manual
degausser - which is a big circular electromagnet that you turn on
about 6 foot from the screen, bring it towards it and wipe around the

it off.

I actually found some useful information in your post! Most of this thread
seems to be bickering about top/bottom posting.

I haven't seen many mixed reviews for the 2001FP. I've seen quite a few
people have problems with dead pixels or backlighting (but Dell in the
US has a no-quibble swap warranty which people tend to use).
I bought one yesterday and am absolutely in love with it!
No dead pixels/lighting problems, it looks stunning in Windows and Linux
and no blurring in games!
May not help you, as it's only MHO, but thought I'd at least post an
on-topic response ;-)

Not necessarily. It could, like my previous reply be devoid of new
content.
Now instead of being "young, foolish and reckless" you've settled on being
old, purile and obnoxious? ;) |

Ahhh, yes, the de-gauss wand. Been known to wipe credit cards, especially
when used as an offensive weapon or as weapon against an offensive person.
Been there, done that....
You are correct quite about the earth's magnetic field affecting CRT
monitors and TVs. Normally, when the TV/CRTs are shifted from one location
to another that they face 180° in the opposite direction, you will notice
some colour bleed because the mask screen has been magnetised to the
previous location. The longer it was sitting in the original location, the
more obvious the bleed when the orientation is changed.
If you have an old monitor, store it on its side or upside down for at least
6 months and then re-test. I can guarantee you will see colour bleed when
reconnected. If it is old, it could take more than 10 power cycles for the
in-built de-gausser to fix the screen, assuming it has a de-gausser and it
works. The wand makes the fix much faster.
Dave
PS. By wand, the one I use is an electro-magnet mounted in one end of 3" dia
(7.5cm) poly pipe, about 18" (45cm) long and has a press-switch on the other
end. It only has about a 25% duty cycle but since it was free, I can't
complain! |

You must have bloody good eyes if you can detect a colour bleed in 0.2 of a
second
Personally, I think it would be caused by all the colours running to the
bottom after a long storage lol

Roommate has a Samsung 19 lcd, and it sucks like hell. Color corection
is non existant. curently has 9 dead pixels. Dell has had a few good
products, but I curently have a viewSonic 21 " lcd and it works
flawlessly. I also have a Kogi 17" that has lasted me 5 years w no
dead pixels. |

Perhaps colour bleed is not the correct term, but what the hell. ;)
Maybe I should call it "splodges" of weird colours on the screen ;) Another
weird thing was that 10 monitors could be stored on their sides, pointing in
the same direction, but they all would have different "splodge" patterns.
Very psychodelic!
Dunno about good eyes but I can see flicker in 85Hz CRT screens. My 17" LCD
screen is great compared to my old CRT. I house-sat at my friends place and
used his 15" LCDs, boy did I miss my 17". Can't wait to get some cash for a
19" or bigger.

Those have several inputs right? like s-video, composite, component
etc....? When using say a dvd player on one of those inputs to watch a 16:9
ratio movie, does the monitor stretch the picture to fit its 16:10 ratio
screen size? |
