Hey, thanks to sk3tch. I just brought this drive.

Cool. I was wondering and worried a little bit. I wonder why the black marker was on it. Oh well.... Thanks!

Hi, I got a strange question. I just received my 48cx today. I brought it from Best Buy. I was mounting it on the stand when I noticed on the bottom of the stand it had markings in black marker around the screws and where you put the 4 screws to secure the tv. It was a bunch of circles and some...

Actually, the good thing about eBay is that if they side with you then a shipping label from the seller is provided. Also, I'm not sure if anyone here is also part of their concierge program but they been really helpful.

It says no returns but I’m wondering if you get one with a bad display then can you make an eBay claim for help in getting another one. Anyway, price was attractive enough for me to buy but here’s hoping between eBay and my credit card protection that there’s some kind of protection. Thanks to...

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this will help you but I initially had some flicker issues and couldn't consistently get 60 Hz. The monitor kept defaulting to 30 Hz and couldn't change it in the control panel. I was using a mini-displayport to displayport cable. I brought a displayport to displayport...

Yeah, I got really lucky with my Dell u3014 monitors. Both turned out with no problems. Actually, I'm only keeping one of the U3014 as the other one is going to my wonderful lovely wife who lets me indulge my techy side without complaining or wanting something in return. :D I'm trying to...

Hi, I have both the Asus Rog Swift PG278Q and a Benq BL3201PH that I need to decide between which one to keep. Here's my current rig: 3930k, 32gb and gtx 690 quad-sli with two Dell u3014 monitors. I work in front of my computer late at night about 4 hours or so sometimes. Here's the...

Thanks guys. I think after reading the comments and thinking about things then I'm going to hold pat for just a little bit longer. It's just that the 970 is priced so nice it tempted me as a placeholder card. I'm pretty happy now with my current setup except that's it's a bit louder than I want...

Yeah, I was thinking tri sli but that sort of defeats my purpose of noise and heat. I was hoping 970 sli would be better but not so sure. Audio equipment sure is pricey so if no real improvements then $$$ saved for that. Thanks again.

Hi, I need some help on deciding if I should ditch my 690 quad sli setup for a 970 sli setup. I've got two dell u3014 as my monitor setup. The logical side of me is saying probably not and at most this would just be a lateral upgrade with not much if any improvement. The I want new gear side is...

Hey, will the X99 platform allow you to run 2 Intel raid setups on the 6 ports? I know that the other 4 ports will not allow any raid setups. Looking to migrate over my raid 0 of two ssds(boot drive) and raid 5 of four hard drives (storage) from X79 setup until my raid card arrives. Thanks.

Thanks guys! I'm on the fence about upgrading. I've got a new DAC coming so I wanted to also optimize my pc for audio. However, right now I don't really bench anymore or play as many games due to work. My pc is mainly for work and listening to music. So, if not for the fact that I needed to...

I redo things in my pc about once a year. So, I'm about to rearrange things again in my pc and was originally going to skip this iteration but I kind of caught the upgrade bug. I've seen everyone keep saying if you run sli dual gpu cards then the 28 lanes might not be enough. I'm running an...

I agree with the above comments. I have the vp2770 as my surfing monitor and main one for work while the lg29ea93 is for gaming/movies plus when I need another monitor for work. I came from a 30 inch Dell monitor and was going to pick up the 3014 until I saw all the problems it had. I can't...
