I'm guessing your friend is pressing his luck with that 20" Dell.

Oh yeah, it shortens the life of the lcd. Like like all overclocking :x

If i were to guess, its probly more of a 'we dont want to warrenty it' than 'we cant make it' issue for overvolting lcds heh.

I would like a new lcd, but still can't decide on one. Oh well, I'm in no hurry.

Since it seems almost all review sites have to do it opion tested (wtich seems to be the only way) how do we really know these are the times? We alrady know there is no ISO standard for a responce time on a lcd. Proof please?

This is the EXACT! reason I have not gotten a LCD. I cannot stand ANY ghosting and even on 12ms monitors I still see it. So how are we going to know as Glow pointed out, we are really getting that response time. Further more if it is that response time is it any different, since I have seen some that are actually what they say they are and I still see bad ghosting.

I will have to sit down with one of these and judge for my self, as it stands right now my 22" View Sonic 220f has been a great scatch and dent buy. I have had it since 2001, I think.

Personally I don't think overvolting an LCD has the same impact as overvolting the processor, since overvolting the LCD is used to increase the magnetic field thus making things switch faster. So unless u reallly overvolt a lot to the extreme point that the wires coils melt, it should be just fine.

Talking about wire coil, it reminds me of the motor project I did in highschool, a bunch of us used garnished wire (insulated, but looks bare), so some guy make a motor with bare wire, and it blew up the DC power supply, lol, cause the stupid thing is basically 1 wire (with ~0 resistance), so it draw like 25 amps, and just melted the psu, that was jokes..haha

*not ATi

btw, can he provide a guide for that?? I wouldn't mind speeding up my 17'' samsung a bit. but wait, do u have to crack open the LCD?? Cause then I'm waving bye bye (NSYNC style) to my warranty.

A bit harsch conclusion..

CRT's have a fosfor layer embedded. these fosfers light up and dimms again. so there is a "response-time". although very small. but not 0ms.
