Samsung 970P stand

Do you know where the part number is labeled? All I see are numbers on the panel itself.

Samsung 970P stand

Hey cool, people are back! Just an update: my new stand is holding up famously. The new stands are definitely improved, and if you notice in my pictures the new stand stands taller than the old one at the maximum height. They've definitely changed something. As for instructions on removing...

Samsung 970P stand

OK so the 'part' arrived! Sorry it's taken this long to update -- it was delivered to an address I haven't been to in a while. Anyway, the new 'part' is a whole new stand! You gotta take the panel off and install the stand which is really easy to do. A total of 5 screws are involved. So...

Samsung 970P stand

Argh, so here's a quick update. Part still hasn't arrived. This has been more than 10 business days so I guess I get to get on the horn and see what's up... fooey.

Samsung 970P stand

Count me in. My stand started sagging months back, and now it can hardly be raised at all. I too have no dead pixels and am happy with the monitor outside of this nonsense. I pulled the plastic off the top part of the hinge to expose the springs... I don't know how hard (or cheap) it would...

970p 6-bit + dithering

Perhaps I should have gotten a CRT but ... meh. They're so frigging huge. I'm starting to come to terms with my $500 purchase... I'm not happy, but then I'm noticing that Viewsonic's VP930b is apparently 6bit as well. And for the size savings and prettiness, I guess this thing is all right...

970p 6-bit + dithering

My 970P is my first LCD monitor. I purchased it after my 9 year old Dell 17" started to develop some awesome "features". I almost bought the VP930b, but thought I would spend some extra cash to get another monitor that would (hopefully) last another 9 years. I wanted something that would...

Power outage, weird stuff

OK, my buddy's comp suffered not one but two power outages, the first of which destroyed his first line of defense (surge protector). Now, after the second outage and being directly plugged into the wall (yah I know) he is having some weird things go on. His computer boots just fine, no...

Samsung Magictune Calibration

I just got the 970p and I'm trying to use the calibration software that came with it. I have no idea what I'm doing, and the instructions (as you'll see in the link) are HORRIBLE. Anyone used this? Or something similar? What you don't see being done in the animation is the brightness...

Top of the line LCD or just under?

Well, I have a 970P now. I wasn't able to really test other monitors with games (I went to COMPUSA and tried to mess with ones I was interested in, but I can't play CS:S there), so I went with the research and your suggestion. This monitor is sexy. The colors are vibrant, the backlight is...

Top of the line LCD or just under?

The 9 year old 17" CRT is slowly dying (yes! since '96!). So I'm going to purchase an LCD. A quick analogy: I purchased a 6800GT just over a year ago on the advice that putting a LOT of cash ($440 is a lot for me) into a graphics card will pay off over time. And it has. I've played Doom3...

Higher DDR or better CAS?

Holy balls, Painman. I think you just saved me 2-300 dollars! So it looks like the thing to do then is increase my FSB/HTT to get a CPU speed increase and then use a divider on the memory to keep it running within acceptable ranges? A divider is a ratio, right? I need to make a signature...

Higher DDR or better CAS?

I'm thinking about upgrading my valueram Kingston memory to something more prone to over clocking. As I understand it, one way to over clock is to simply raise the FSP/HTT and use RAM rated at a higher frequency (and then maybe lower the multiplier if you have to). Or you can change timing...

Best QUIET PSU for Around $80?

I'm using the Fortron 500watt blue storm. It's relatively quiet. It's funny tho because as I add aftermarket fans to different components I can start hearing things I never heard before. For instance my 6800gt was a jet engine prior to the Arctic NV5 cooler, and after I installed the NV5 I...

Power Supply groans when overclocking

Mfgr web site is here. I'd go ask em if they have that feature that prevents the power supply from ruining your board/cpu if it blows up. Wait is this that feature? - Output over voltage protection - Short-circuit protection at any DC output Cuz if so you're good.
