    iPhone XS vs. iPhone XR? Torn...

    Pulling this up to confirm the OLED models still utilize PWM flicker @ brightness below ~ 75ish % ? Any 8 Plus users who moved to XR have “transition” advice? No 3D Touch will be the biggest I think...lack of headphone jack and AAC Bluetooth will necessitate some sort of USB-C or lightning...

    anyone else here have an Ikea Bekant desk?

    Yeah, there’s really no good solution to the problem. Tho, I would have liked to see the Bekant include a third leg set perpendicular to the others along the far, rear, straight edge of the table. Also, two poles on the shorter leg and three poles on the longer leg instead of just the one would...

    anyone else here have an Ikea Bekant desk?

    If you’re referring to the corner desks, yes, absolutely. I believe the actual table top is thinner on the Bekant. The corner Bekant has 2 legs, whilst the corner Galant had three. The Galant wasn’t perfect as far as stability is concerned and I never thought to wedge it between a couple...

    anyone else here have an Ikea Bekant desk?

    I know I'm 3 years late to the game, but just wanted to share my solution... https://imgur.com/a/3AsbI After "securing" the Bekant by pushing the feet as far as I could towards the walls, I pulled the desk up and towards the wall...letting it sort of scrape down the wall. The results are...

    Poor signal on HDTV Antenna

    Just in the last week or so I have noticed my reception went into the toilet. I haven't moved the antennas...but know I get half the channels and BARELY get CBS now...only a big deal cause of the football games. REALLY wish CBS Chicago would UHF it up. :(

    Quality attachable mic for headphones?

    I had the 1.0 and even that was MILES above a Zalman I had been using. I would also advise unidirectional so only your voice is heard. Omnidirectional will make using "voice activated" modes difficult.

    Any recommendations on speakers for smaller setups? (gaming)

    Just like everybody else, the Klipsch can be had for $99 on sale. You can put the sub elsewhere. But if this is just for gaming and you can't do a true 5.1, I would seriously consider headphones.

    Poor signal on HDTV Antenna

    I had the Mohu leaf amped and it was balls. I ended up with this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BN5Z2WM/ Also, placement matters. For example, mine does best behind the TV, 3 feet from ceiling. At 1 foot from ceiling I had some issues. The only problem with this antenna is a lack of...

    Decent cheap 50" 1080p TVs? Say under $700, Best Buy

    This, so much this! I tried a Samsung 60" J6200 and within 30 minutes my eyes were bleeding. Another hour and I had an epic headache. For kicks I gave it another hour and was done for the day. It took 8 hours to get rid of the pain. Had I checked rtings, I would have seen it's a PWM panel...

    Just got my first pair of good IEMs (Westone W60). What else do I need?

    These: http://www.earphonesolutions.com/shure-pa910-5-pair-olive-eartips-for-shure-westone-klipsch-and-etymotic.html For reference, the red or black TRUE FIT foam tips included in the Westone kit fit me and I use medium Shure Olives. I don't feel like they isolate as well, but they do sound...

    Going to test out some IEMs. Taking requests?

    I have some Westone UM Pro 30's and I cannot stand them. On the one hand they're exceptionally clear and detailed. However, the low end is too much and the high end is too little. My "fix" has been to use the treble booster EQ on an iPhone, but that can mess with other things. I do think I'm...

    Best Comfortable Earbuds

    LG Tone Ultra...SOOO nice not having to deal w/ cords while riding the bike...SOOO nice. Oh yes, they sound fine to my ears. Well worth the $75 or so IMO. Noise cancellation does nothing for me, but there's plenty of low end for a bud.

    I'm trying to decide whether to go with note 4 or 3

    ^This But the Note 2 I kept for 2 years. It was that good. As much as I would like to go back to iOS or try Windows OS on a faster device, I just don't see myself w/ anything but a Note 4.

    I'm trying to decide whether to go with note 4 or 3

    s44: lol AFAIK, G3 is only Tmo phone that does...could be wrong. Would be SHOCKED if N4 does not. I've been w/ big red for a decade. I JUST switched to Tmo and couldn't be happier...mind you I'm in a well covered area. It can be spotty from 4G to LTE, but it beats the crowded lanes of VZW in...

    I could not have expressed this opinion as my opinion as good as this user has expressed his opinion. :thumbsup: I would like to see more windows phones, but as it stands the Note 4/iPhone 6/Moto X+1 seem to be @ the short list in the immediate future. I'm waiting as long as I can...but...

    BenQ XL2420T vs XL2420TE

    Yeah, the only thing that helps is sitting super high up in my chair and lowering the monitor to the bottom. But then that puts my neck @ the top of the monitor and just doesn't work, lol. I am trying to "burn in" the thing @ max brightness w/ an all white screen. It's not so bad when it's...

    BenQ XL2420T vs XL2420TE

    I had the XL2420TX last year and returned it within an hour due to the extreme eye fatigue and terribad headaches it caused. Last night I happily BF4'd for hours and hours on the TE. My only major complaint is that the top 1/2 is dimmer than the bottom 1/2 and is very distracting when...

    Steelcase Think vs Aeron vs Ikea

    See, I slouch all over the place in my current chair and 16 hrs+ LAN parties are no match for it. My ass is as fresh when I leave as when I came in. I wish I would have saved the label off the bottom. I got it in 07 when my company swapped chairs around. So I have no idea if it's a 1K chair or...

    Steelcase Think vs Aeron vs Ikea

    I don't understand the problem w/ posting in an old thread when you have relevant q and a's. Also, your post adds nothing to the thread. I'm looking @ Steelcase's Criterion in a couple days (wherehouse has to get them down) from a Craig's list add. They want $130, so we'll see what kinda...

    Why is my i5-4670k so hot at only 4ghz?

    I also noticed that. It doesn't seem like I'm being penalized much for having manual voltage set constant. The speed is still throttling, though, that doesn't seem to matter from your numbers. My i5 760 was 50 watts hotter wo/ all the EIST/C1E business. Haswell doesn't seem to use much...

    Why is my i5-4670k so hot at only 4ghz?

    I noticed this too when setting the voltage to offset. It would skyrocket to 1.35 when I had it set to 1.15.

    Why is my i5-4670k so hot at only 4ghz?

    Ok, so w/ everything set to auto, the Maximus VI Hero ran 1.264V through my 4670K and had a turbo of 3.8Ghz. It seemed to load @ 76C in AIDA64's stability test. Ok, so I followed the ROG guide and toned everything down manually. CPU-Z now reads 1.7V, lol. But AIDA64 reads 1.149V, exactly what...

    Upgrading from Intel i5 750 for gaming

    But relevant since I'm on an i5 760 and trying to get a feel for how much better games like BF3 would be if I upgraded to Haswell. I have a 780 on the way and don't want to bottleneck it. The 4GB is enough comment was laughable though, so I went that route first. As if I'm going to shutdown...

    Gtx 660 SLI?

    I've had 2 660s for a couple months now. My conclusion? SLI is balls. BF3 and GRID 2 perform poorly with terrible scaling that's all over the place. Sometimes its 90%, sometimes its -20%.

    BF3 CPU bottleneck? Really?

    We'll have BF4 by the time I get comfortable w/ Haswell. I've got 1/3rd of my hopes in a new CPU upgrade, 1/3rd of my hopes in BF4, and 1/3rd of my hopes in GRID 2. :awe:

    It'll have to wait for Haswell then.

    BF3 CPU bottleneck? Really?

    I'm bringing this back to see if any solutions have been found. PC: i5 760 @ 3.8 Ghz GTX 660 SLI B2K maps are def the worst, dipping down to 35 from 70~80. GPU usage gets as low as 30% on both cards. There's a post on Guru3d that recommends running mesh on medium. I'll try that tonight. I was...

    Note II

    Now you've met 2. The unique rgb arrangement and lower ppi simply aren't as clear as say, the One X+ or DNA. Also, the res actually allows for less on screen. I compared them sided by side last night. That said, a nonremoveable is a deal breaker for me. Factor in the massive and thankfully...

    Speaker recommendation request

    No room for a receiver. No interest in the added heat. No interest in another device to deal with. Creative/Logitech/Etc blow, but I'm sure the Swans M50w's which IMO qualify for computer "size" speakers probably do not suck. :p

    Speaker recommendation request

    ROFL! Well, my keyboard has volume buttons, so I am actually ok w/ that. I only need to set the volume @ 25% for enough volume from the speakers and 50% when using the Little Dot MKIII. I really did thing this would be a deal breaker, but I'm not bothered at all w/ this solution. I think...
