All you have to do is buy a copy on US Ebay and have it shipped here .... too easy. Or better yet, the gay classification (or lack thereof) makes it almost legitimate for us to pirate/torrent the game

"I have a chimei monitor at work, and a viewsonic at home.

Every time I look at the viewsonic I can see where the extra cash went."

Your beloved Viewsonic is actually the exact same panel as the CMV one... CMV make them for Viewsonic.

Not all the time. If stock runs low while producing, some companies outsource the parts to keep production going. Its known companies like BenQ use LG internals sometimes if they need to. Not all monitors are the same, as quality from monitor to monitor can be different. Hence why some have issues with dead pixels, backlight bleeding etc.

U always hear the 5 horror stories, but not the millions of satisfied customers. I tend to go with companies that have been around for a while, so i know they at least have some sort of product rep...chimei has about the quality of the $30 dvd players u get from cheap as chips :P

My mistake chops, AUO makes Benq and Viewsonic LCD monitors where as CMV uses their own company CMO, both companies in comparison make identically shit LCDs but their price is very hard to beat. the 22 inch has a very good contrast ratio on both parts and supports HD 1080dpi. I have tested this and it looks great.

Blackr32 that is correct definitely, as reported some of manufacture had been put over to CMO for Viewsonic monitors. prime example.

I think though, all in all, If you put the fact into the equation that nearly all of these monitors costs under 600 dollars, these are fantastic for their price. definitely worth it and I swear by the CMV 22D so far. Also I think that the BenQ 20" Widescreen 8ms LCD which I have tested does seem to have crisper quality but even though difference is negligable I would go with the larger viewing area, and the faster response time.

Light leakage is the main problem on the 22inch CMV blackr32 not image quality, it isnt grainy at all, If you are viewing TV or some other form of external Video source on the monitor it could be the signal or data quality itself. I have tested several games (lately NFS:Carbon) and movies on the LCD and its performed well.

I hear its a good panel but if you focus too hard you can just see the anti-glare coating on the screen, looks like a slightly grainy fine thin layer on the surface of the picture. good panel tho.

best panels in the world are made by panasonic. thats no lie. they do all the alpine head units among others too. I wonder if theres a way to hook up my touch screen alpine tv unit to a computer in the car or something.

Read some reviews on the viewsonic 21" 2025wxm

I bought one and it is amazing, its was meant to be one of the best 21s when I got it.

I was tossing up between that one and the BenQ at the time - every review that compared them side by side told me to spend the extra fiddy and get the viewsonic, so I did.

What really matters with all these things though is that YOU are happy with the performance you got for the price you paid.

I'm going to buy an LCD tv this weekend.

But i'm in to minds as to whether buy one that just does 1080i or wait a while and get one capable of 1080P.

Any thoughts,

i mostly want it for playing xbox360 and playstation 3 in the future.

Yes you can, but only from about 5cm away and if you are really looking for it.

Don't want DVi really i want HDMi. And i'm aware HDMI and DVi are almost the same just that HDMi carries sound signals.

Money is no object really. Between 2 and 3 grand is ok, but don't want to spend much more than that.

so really u want an LCD tv not a monitor... if you have an amp/ speakers/ surround sound system with an optical input why worry about HDMI and getting sound out the front of crappy speakers on a tv...? use the DVI connection, then get an optical cable for your audio and you will have crisper sound. (since 2-3gs is ur budget I wouldnt worry about LCD Monitors, go for an LCD TV that supports HD)

I then suggest a Panasonic LCD Panel tv. Panasonic make the best LCD TVs and Plasmas, you will love it.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      R33 fuel setup

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
