PSA: If you regularly buy your cellphones 2nd-hand, stolen phone database is now LIVE

It doesn't. To be honest, I worry more about someone selling a contract phone and defaulting 2 months later, you have no way to check it out ahead of time, and no recourse through any means after 2 months.

Price increase question

Reducing prices can save you if the demand is highly elastic.

Game of Thrones - TV Series (NO BOOK SPOILERS)

Tapatalk lied to me, and showed me a post about the audiobook as the last post, this is in response to that. I can no longer find it in the thread. It may not have ever existed. Roy Dotrice, the narrator for books 1-3, also read book 5. He has since gone back and reread book 4. You can...

The moonshine part of the show isn't really moonshine, but the cop part is real. My wife found an article about it last week and totally rained on my parade. Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk

What is the best 120hz monitor? I am leaning toward samsung

The A950 will do 120hz in 2d, same as the A750, but it only works over DisplayPort or Dual DVI cable (A750 actually only works over DP). The T-versions of these monitors are the gimped ones that will not to 120hz. Just make sure you get the S versions, S27A950D/S27A750D/S23A950D/S23A750D, all...

Sony NSX-32GT1 (32" / 1080p / 60Hz / LED) as a computer monitor?

Only a few TV's actually have 4:4:4 chroma subsampling, which is a requirement for good text display of a PC image. And when you cross reference 4:4:4 with low input lag, you get an even small number of available solutions. Right now, it comes down to getting an IPS LG via panel lottery. If...

Best Super ZOOMER Till now?

I have never been a Sony fan, but I bought the HX100V and I'm very happy with it. FYI, it uses a USB3.0 cable, SDHC memory, and a standard Sony camera battery (lots of generics available).

Sony HX 100V

Bought this a few days ago, and haven't really run it through its paces yet, but early thoughts are: 1) Zoom stability is very solid. Only blur I get in an image is when I focus the wrong thing, even at 30X zoom. 2) The video is AMAZING. It blows me away every time I watch a clip. The...

Logitech G35 Headset

If it's the same wire as the G5 mouse, I would agree, worst wire of all time. I have the G930 headphones, which are essentially the wireless version of the G35's. Sound is solid, but the wireless functionality is outstanding.

Question about "wireless" printers.

Usually if it's a CAT5 printer it will say "network printer" or something of the sort. A wireless printer implies the printer can occupy a node on a router via wifi, and print that way.

Looking for a printer that has cheap refills - mostly for black and white

There's a deal for a remanufactured Brother HL-2170W at Staples right now, I picked it up for $50 after coupon and rebate. Care of Slickdeals.

Small HDTV as a monitor?

Other than thickness, I'm not sure why people need to have LED. You would be hard-pressed to tell the difference between a CCFL and an LED unless its a local-dimming LED, which no sub-1000, sub 37" screen will have. I have tried a lot of different 32" TV's as a computer monitor, and the...

HP ZR24w 407.99 Shipped

BTW, this is handled through HP's Small Business support. I had a stuck pixel, and a tech is coming to my house next week to do a panel swap. The call took 3 minutes.

HP ZR24W overstock.com 385.45 - [cb]

I got mine from Cost Central the next day, and that was with the free ground shipping (to NJ). Love the monitor, although I have a bright pixel, so I may have to use the HP warranty and get a new panel. It's supposed to be at-home tech visit for the swap out though, which is solid.

Starting new monitor research: Why not just get a LCD TV?

I went through this a while back, and I'm still in the middle of figuring out what to do. I did some research and found a 26" Vizio that was 1080P and IPS, I figured it was the holy grail. It was impossible to find at a store, but one day I found one at the local BJ's. For gaming, it was...

Passive Displayport adapter with Eyefinity and VGA adapter

I'm using 10.3 Cats and a passive VGA-DP adapter at 1680x1050 X 3 and it works like a champ.

Passive Displayport adapter with Eyefinity and VGA adapter

Does the monitor not have a VGA port? I'm using the passive VGA->DP adapter in my eyefinity setup, and I cannot tell visually which one is the VGA screen, if that is your concern.

ATI eyefinity- actual users, a question

WoW was great once I installed the dominos addon and moved all my bars. It depends on whether you go portrait or landscape really, as NoQuarter said. I get a lot of UI in the bezel area in DOW and COH, and there's no way to move it.

ATI eyefinity- actual users, a question

I think my issue with the bezels is the portrait mode and the widescreen format. I run a 3-monitor setup at work, with 4:3 monitors, and I never see the bezels. For the games I play most (COH/DOW), the portrait is better. I should have planned better. If I did FPS mostly, my setup would be...

ATI eyefinity- actual users, a question

I can chime in, because I had the same problem, and bit the bullet anyway. I'm running an XFX 5870 (rev2 with the fan in the middle) with 2 x Dell 2007WFP and 1x Dell 2005FPW. I paid $130 each for the 2007's and I had a 2005 already. I was definitely going on the cheap. None of these...
