- Comment I created this article as a place for information I collected on the web on using LCD televisions as computer displays. I also added material to Extended display identification data and Native resolution and created the redirect Pixel perfect. A could have created an article named Display tweaking software (or something similar) and redirected DisplayConfigX and PowerStrip there. However I did not have information on PowerStrip and was not sure what to call this more general article.
DisplayConfigX is notable, it was mentioned (though not redlinked) in the article Extended display identification data before my edits. Google gives 20,400 hits for DisplayConfigX. Most of these are forum posts where desperate users are searching for vital information they could not find in Wikipedia. (Some of these are even posting their newby questions on Wikipedia talk pages. [1])
PowerStrip gets 1,360,000 Google hits, but this is Windows software. -- Petri Krohn 04:08, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Comment: Relisting one more time. I think if there are no more !votes, this AfD should default to no consensus. --Deathphoenix ʕ 21:18, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- Delete No indication of how this software meets the notability requirements in WP:SOFTWARE. Petri, forum posts are not considered reliable sources. NeoChaosX [talk | contribs] 21:37, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- Delete as per above. ♠PMC♠ 22:50, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- Delete zero results for news [2] and for review searches [3] at CNET; nothing at Slashdot [4]. Such results are unlikely for a notable piece of software.--Fuhghettaboutit 23:09, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
