How do these models compare with the paradigm monitor 7/9 series? i've owned monitor 7 v3's and some older monitor 9's that i loved.

Thank you for your inquiry. As we do not maintain technical specs for the competitions' speaker systems, this is a hard question to quantify. We can tell you that along with PolkAudio and Paradigm, Klipsch is one of our main competitors, and as such, our products will stand up in comparison with performance, quality, and craftsmanship. Our flagship XL series has been highlighted on sites like Audioholics and CNet, with rave reviews. Fluance uses Audio-grade MDF wood (medium density fiberboard) to construct our cabinets and high end components to fabricate our drivers and crossover units. They provide the best option for both music and home theater sound reproduction. The down-firing passive subwoofers in the towers provide you with an omni-directional distribution of bass frequencies that lend to a deeper immersion into the entertainment, while the neodymium tweeters will provide the crisp high-end frequency that you would expect with a quality speaker system. We invite you to try them so you too can see and hear what others have already enjoyed.

Honestly, I have no way to make a comparison between the two and I'm not using this monitor beside another. Sorry, I can't help you.

Yes & that is the version I own. Some people get confused with the B1 in the name, even a YouTube reviewer that I've seen. I believe that the company intends to release different types of monitors & the B1 refers to a type, not version. They should drop the B1 nonsense or just call it B1.

I now have 4 x Dell P2715Q 4k 60hz monitors running on the NVS 510 just fine. No noticeable difference from 4 x 1440p. Open a couple hd videos at once and they will get choppy but normal office work is totally fine. I would give extreme caution about 2160p at 27" though. I've run into several issues with this pixel density on Windows. Several programs have nearly invisible UI elements they are so small. Many/most programs ignore windows display magnification settings so you're at the mercy of the application developers to update their software. I'm trying to decide right now if I should return the 4 monitors and give it another year or stick it out. If this wasn't a business machine with only a few pro apps that will hopefully be updated over the next few months and was running many consumer apps, there would be no question. I'd be returning them and waiting for sure. It would be a mess. On the other hand, 1440p at 27" is not quite dense enough. Text is a little fuzzy. Some UI elements a little pixelated. But at least you can see everything.

Its about the display, the V1 uses TN panel, which has poor viewing angles and color representation. I had the msp19 U and it had the same TN panel as the V1, you have to look directly at it the panel if you view it at an angle it will do a very odd hue shift turning all your colors to greyish mud. V2 is an IPS panel way better color representation, and excellent view angles, so you dont have to hover directly over the monitor you can work at an angle that is comfortable to you. it sounds like a small difference but its huge.

I don't know Samsung series 9 exactly. I think Thinkpad is better because of their technology. I am very satisfied with my Thinkdad X1.

I personally like the 50" Panasonic plasm. I have mostly looked at the 50PZ700u. I person I work with, who is a stickler for this kind of stuff, bought this TV and really has enjoyed it. According to him you really cant beat it without going up in price by a few thousand dollars. Just as a side note, best I can tell these couple of models use the same panel and just have a few minor differences. 50PZ700U - My preferred right now 50PZ750U - Same with some more plugs and color settings. Costs more as well. 50PZ77U - Not totally sure what the difference is, but it seems very similar.

I saw the lower numbered models at Frys this weekend. They didnt have the L117FX/B. I played around with it briefly and the touch screen was more responsive than the HP all-in-one model. All the HP's had Vista and DVD drives for about the same price as the Sony, which had blu-ray and Windows 7. Although I dont think I would use the touch screen much (don't like the smudged screens), I did like the look and build of the Sony. Everything seemed to be built a bit better than the HP. I can't wait for the reviews to come out...

TeeVoo thanks for the explanation. I just picked up the a950 at best buy for $3600 and no interest for 3 years. My Best Buy was even giving premium home delivery and setup for free on it as well. I compared the two tvs. There is just something about the a950's picture that makes you go "wow." The only wow factor I received from the new LEDs was how thin they were. At the end of the day, I watch what's on the screen and not how thin the actual tv set is so I went with the a950.

Good question. The first model ships with a TN display and the second has an IPS display. IPS displays have a much better view angle than does a TN. If color consistency is important for you across the display I'd lean towards V2. I own the TN panel MVP22U and have enjoyed it thus far though I mostly do hand-drawn animation and some 3D sculpting and weight painting with it. Read of course Frendens tips for installing drivers for the MSP19U and you'll sort yourself out though not entirely without some hair-pulling and moderate swearing.

I have a friend who owns a computer rental business for trade shows and he was the one who recommended them to me (beyond the ones we have here at work), for they have great technical specs, are durable. They don't have the fancy "bells and whistles" of other brands and are more the "Thinkpad" of monitors.

The virwing angle is bad. I have tried the nx720, hx729, hx820, hx750, and hx929 and all of the lower ones were the same or better with viewing angles. I may end up with an nx or hx929 just due to nothing esle being good with other rbands either, but there are tons of negatives which the 929 fanboys go into denial about. Some sites even say the blacks are evry bad, despite some listing them as good.

KDL55HX800..........vs.........KDL55NX810 2 Speaker setup - (L/R).....3 Speaker setup - (Center + R/L) No Stand Tilt...................Built in stand tilt. Add on Wireless................Built in wireless. Ambient light sensor..........Light Sensor technology Dynamic LED....................Dynamic Edge LED w/local dimming So in short better sounds, though several reviews still put sound as "ok". Video wise, you are looking at a better picture because included in the KDL55NX810 you have local dimming. You will see less bleeding though black pictures. Honestly this is what makes the TV that much more than the 55HX800. (Cost)

I bi-amped my Paradigm Monitor 11's since I can't use the 2 extra surround speakers in my room setup anyways so I figured I might as well put those 2 amp channels to use. I sense a bit more clarity and effortless sound and I'm happy! If you try it don't forget to set speaker type to bi-amp in setup.

I have paradigm reference and I am quite pleased. Paradigm are just outstanding speakers, all there models.

I recently decided to buy a second monitor to go along with my HP w1707 and I was also trying to decide between the w2207h and the 2159m. I shopped around for a while at various local stores and this one was by far the best in its class for overall value and quality. Size wise they are basically the same but the picture quality of the 2159m which has a higher resolution of (1920 x 1080p) was much better than the w2207h. Even compared to other monitors with the same resolution the 2159m seemed to really stand out based on image quality, brightness, contrast, clarity, sharpness, and style. I've had the monitor for about a week and it looks great especially when using the HDMI input. I've got both the 2159m and a hp w1707 hooked up to my laptop and the 2159m worked right out of the box with very little image calibration required. A few weeks ago newegg had a special on the w2207h and after reading all the reviews I almost bought it, but it was defiantly worth waiting to see in person and I think a lot of people are going to have buyers remorse when they see the 2159m. Both are very good monitors but between the two the 2159m is hands down superior to the w2207h, especially considering that I was able to get it from Brandsmart for $210.00 ($40.00 less than the w2207h).
