    Afternoon everyone

    After 4 delays just got my 1530 today it looks great no cracks, no dead pixels everything lays flat as it should and the LED LCD is very bright, I think brighter than my macbook pro. The colors are very crisp, I ordered the 250 7200 H.D its a samsung. It's a bit warm but not hot at all and makes no clicking noises. Before I do the bloatware removal and tweaking I'd like to benchmark it straight out of the box. I installed future mark 3dvantage there's a free trial verson.

    I wasnt sure if I should install the dx 9 files from the 3dmark06 verson or not.

    Are there any other benchmarks you all are using and could you post some scores.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply,

    3dmarks06 wants to install dx9 and brings up the ms dx9 install wizard am I right to assume you shouldnt install it?

    You do not need to install it if you have vista...or even a new install of xp it should already be there. I would say no.

    It can't if you already have DX10 installed. It will simply skip it.
