    [Retired] The LCD Thread

    Sometime last year, I was contemplating replacing my 215TW (even posted in here), but I gave it up and wanted to wait until tax-time this year. I'm glad I did because there sure are some great looking monitors out there. So, I have a 215TW and again, there's no problem with it, I'm just sick...

    Agreed. I will have to wait regardless and I probably will end up with the LP2475W because you definitely can't go wrong with that. Even though I will no doubt end up with the LP2475W, I can't wait to see reviews of these new screens to see how they turn out. Also, as everyone has pointed...

    Upon seeing that Viewsonic has a 120Hz LCD coming out, as well as Samsung, I think that maybe I will wait to see what reviews of those say. I think those look pretty nice to me, and I'm willing to buy it instead of the 2475W to save money (I don't *need* the LP2475w, just never liked my TN...

    Well a friend of mine had one but returned it because of some green stripes when he used the DVI connection. He later pointed me to youtube, where a search reveals people showing videos of problems with their LP2275w screens, where the most commonplace issue is the interference on the screen...

    Wow, no kidding huh? I thought it was maybe a little bit more than my current monitor. That is decidedly worse than this one is, that's for sure. No wonder people were returning them :Q. Obviously, an H-IPS panel with ~34ms total lag is a big improvement over my current monitor, and not just...

    I recall posting here once and I chose a new monitor, the L227WT and it was good, but the particular one that I had also came with some amazingly bad backlight bleed (half of the screen, to be precise), so I returned it to Best Buy but didn't get another one. I decided to just hold on to my...

    Sorry, if you've all been discussing this but I haven't had time to search the topic because I am getting ready for work. My Samsung SyncMaster 215TW has been great, but I've been looking for a suitable replacement so I can use this for a different purpose, but I wanted a decent 22" monitor...

    I have to go to to work, so I'll type this out quick. I was browsing Best Buy recently and saw that the L227WTG is on sale for $289, and I just got my $600 stimulus check put into the bank. Since I didn't plan using all of that $600, I thought maybe the L227 would be good. I currently have a...

    [Retired] The LCD Thread

    I went searching your thread here and found some posts where he was talking about it, and I decided that its best to go with the L227WTG at Best Buy. That Westinghouse looks like it could fit the bill, but I'm more sure of the LG because I have seen it in person. Plus, it would be easier to...

    I am in the market as well to replace a Samsung 215TW with another 22-incher that probably will be used in games more than other things and the LG L227WTG listed at the top of his gaming section is supposed to be pretty good. I'm leaning towards that one (looks great with that glossy screen...

    [Retired] The LCD Thread

    After looking at the L227WTG at BB, I agree with you. I don't think it is worth waiting for, considering that my workload on a computer isn't really that demanding enough to warrant the DoubleSight, or waiting for another S-PVA. I actually do like the glossy screen, especially since the screen...

    Yeah I saw that on digitalversus as well and was also wondering who was right, prad.de or digitalversus. It seems that a lot of people have great experiences with it in games, etc, and I noticed that it was placed right up in the #1 slot in the Gaming section in this thread, so I suspect that...

    I have been scouring this thread, review sites and also the displays section of Hardforum and I am still so very, very undecided that I thought I'd finally add to the discussion. I trust your opinions better than others, without a doubt :). Like others have stated, this is obviously a big...

    Samsung SyncMaster 215TW

    I have been using a 215TW for a while now and I have absolutely loved it for every thing. I love how pictures come out on it, video and games. What really gets a lot of pictures are some good, professional-quality 1680x1050 background images of places that I use on my desktop often (some from...

    Using Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 5.1 for Xbox 360

    Well, I'm apparently getting an Xbox 360 (the one with the HDD) for Christmas. I already have a great PC gaming system, but of the three I would probably prefer that 360 anyways. As the title suggests, I have very good speakers already, and a 21" widescreen Samsung 215TW LCD screen. I do not...

    X1950 XTX or 7950GX2?

    I already purchased one because my video card, if you missed those posts. The video card i'm using now got all messed up and I no longer have a backup video card. I do some important work on my PC that would be greatly hampered if I waited another week. I am currently borrowing my other...

    X1950 XTX or 7950GX2?

    Originally, I was undecided on both of those cards, hence the original post. People in here seemed to lean towards the X1950 XTX, and my findings in general leaned towards that one instead. I saw instances in games that I do play (which are all at 1680x1050, if the game supports the...

    X1950 XTX or 7950GX2?

    Well I guess I won't be waiting. The fan on the video card stopped working one day while I was at work! Very strange and thus my long run of consistently good electronics purchases ends :). I guess I will be going for the X1950 XTX after all :P.

    Trouble with X-Fi card in a PC

    I helped a relative install an X-Fi XtremeMusic (same one that I have) today, and it keeps getting wrongly identified. It seems to run fine, but I haven't played any games yet. For instance, if you go and use the Software Autoupdate feature, it identifies it as an 'X-Fi XtremeGamer' sound card...

    X1950 XTX or 7950GX2?

    Yes, I was going to get one of these now so you read my initial post correctly. In later posts, people had valid points about G80 and I then changed my mind as a result. 50% of the reason I changed my mind is that I was unaware of the fast approaching date for the release of those cards. I...

    X1950 XTX or 7950GX2?

    It wasn't a hurry initially, it was something for next week. Then I found out they want to hold off, so I was going to wait as well. After that, I saw the posts about nvidia's pending releases in week or three and thought I should wait. I figured it was worth discussing anyways, too...

    X1950 XTX or 7950GX2?

    Good point. Well, I can wait actually. I just simple was curious because it was on my mind. I'm thinking of waiting a few weeks anyways, but I can wait longer if it would be worth it. I don't think I'd want to buy a 7900GTO 'for now' since I already have a 6800 GS . Its not like purchasing...

    X1950 XTX or 7950GX2?

    I actually had no idea they were coming out so soon. I was wondering now so that I can keep my budget accordingly for the next few weeks. Someone asked why I can't wait two weeks or something, which I find strange because I said I wasn't getting it for a few weeks. I haven't followed the...

    X1950 XTX or 7950GX2?

    I agree. I wanted to know what people thought of those two cards, not about RAM. I definitely agree with you, n7 and BFG10K. I've already played some of the games you've mentioned with the settings maxed out. Quake 4, for instance, is extremely smooth at 1280x1024 with most of the settings...

    Hello! I'm looking to get a good video card. The one in here, a 6800 GS overclocked slightly, is being taken out for the purpose of using it in a system that is being upgraded. I just recently changed out the 420W PowerStream PSU for a 550W Antec Neo HE power supply in preparation for...

    Having a REALLY bizarre XP Pro install issue SOLVED

    No it was the DVD drive that did an unusual clicking noise, not the hard drives. We called NEC for the drive and apparently the noise is tied into its malfunction. They wanted us to send it back for a replacement or fix for it (it can be fixed I guess) but Ideclined. This doesn't put a damper...

    Having a REALLY bizarre XP Pro install issue SOLVED

    An update. I took out his brand new NEC ND-3540A and put in my ND-3500A and tried to install and it worked great. I put his and a HD of his in my PC and tried to install, but it didn't work. I got through and when it was loading files to get only to the HD partition section before the GUI...

    Good idea, I didn't think about testing the RAM. It makes perfect sense...but it was almost 2am when I wrote that :P The drive, an ND-3500, is pretty solid but it is a good suggestion and we'll test that out. Throughout the GUI install attempts, it would miss a file and then when you...

    Having a REALLY bizarre XP Pro install issue SOLVED

    I just thought that I would ask here first, since i'm unsure. I'm going to be very thorough since it seems so strange to me. I'm betting it is a hardware issue, but I don't know for sure. Anyways, here goes: I have a setup that has been going rock solid since I got it (bought the 90nm...

    DP930SB Monitor $214

    I've been thinking of getting a new monitor even though this 997DF is fantastic. I was thinking of using a bit of my tax return money to buy a new monitor, perhaps any good Aperture Grille I can find or a 17" 8ms or 12ms LCD screen. The Factory Refurbished monitor is from Tech For Less, a...

    New monitor question

    Actually I will be able to play some newer games at native resolutions, because I already checked it out :P. I played Doom III and HL2/CSS at 1280x1024 on my 19" CRT and they're just fine. I didn't say that I set them to the highest FSAA/Aniso filtering settings, just those resolutions. I...

    New monitor question

    With my tax money, I figured i'd spend a little bit of it to get one of the more highly recommended 8ms or 12ms 17" LCD screens, since I believe I would have no troubles with them in the games I play. This is my system: AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 90nm @ 2.4Ghz 2x512Mb Crucial Ballistix DDR400 Abit...

    Bets option for speeding up DVD ripping/compressing/burning?

    I didn't say Serial ATA is bad. I have two 80GB SATA Deskstar 7k250's in a RAID 0 configuration (video editing/production is done 80% of the time on this PC), but I did say that if a DVD+/-RW drive is rated for, say, 12x with some 12x media, then it will transfer ~12x, not magically around...

    Bets option for speeding up DVD ripping/compressing/burning?

    If the drive is Parallel ATA, buying a Serial ATA adapter for it won't make it go any faster. It might perform better if it would mean that its all by itself, but it won't increase your actual transfer rate, or burning speed. The same goes with Hard Drives as well. This is a common...

    Any opinion on Hitachi hard drives?

    Excellent point, Blain. I would recommend to you, Skuba, the hitachi drives. I have two 80GB Deskstar 7K250 SATA drives in a RAID 0 array and one of them is about a year or so older than the other and I highly doubt either one will ever fail. I think some of you just have amazingly bad luck...

    RAID 0 question

    Its good and fast and all that, but i'm curious about the stripe size. I recalled some people saying 32kb was optimal, and I did find posts about that. I use an Athlon 64 3000+ @ 2.4Ghz on an Abit AV8 system with two 80GB Hitachi Deskstar 7K250 SATA drives. I tend to game (big new ones like...
