    Nvidia clone mode tearing on secondary display

    Monitor is 1680x1050 and TV 1920x1080, but it doesn't matter what resolution I choose. The tearing is always there.

    Nvidia clone mode tearing on secondary display

    Using an EVGA GTX260, whenever I enable clone mode I get terrible tearing on the secondary monitor when watching a video or dragging a window. The display designated as primary works perfect. I'm using a Samsung Syncmaster display, Samsung LCD TV and a DVI-HDMI cable. I googled for the...

    Best way to send sound from Blu-ray player to PC speakers

    It's just that I don't have any cables yet. :p Still, maybe I should do what you suggested: buy both and return the other cable after testing. Thanks for the insight.

    Best way to send sound from Blu-ray player to PC speakers

    Soon I'm getting myself an LG BD390 Blu-ray player, but for now I'm going to have to use my old Logitech Z-5500 5.1 speakers. The player has optical and coaxial digital outputs and 7.1 analog outs (RCA). Logitech has optical and coaxial digital ins and 3 x 3.5mm stereo inputs (which I used to...

    GPU fan stuck at 100%

    I have a Leadtek PX8800 GTS TDH 640MB graphics card that is a little over 2 years old. Everything has been working fine so far, but now the variable speed fan on the card seems to be stuck to 100% speed even before Windows is loaded. It just started doing this today. I tried to update the BIOS...

    Are there ANY hiss-free 5.1 sets?

    I've tried with both onboard AC97 and X-Fi XtremeGamer, but the hiss is there even when no sound inputs are connected.

    Are there ANY hiss-free 5.1 sets?

    My ears should be okay. :p I've seen Klipsch mentioned often, but they're not available over here. I don't have the budget for a real hifi solution. Good-sounding computer speakers under $400 would be enough.

    Are there ANY hiss-free 5.1 sets?

    I'm getting so frustrated. It seems every 5.1 computer speaker set I try has a hissing problem. Logitech Z-5400s I could hear to the other side of the room when nothing was playing (plus the subwoofer had a funky hum). Got a Teufel CEM PE set to replace them. A little better, but I could still...

    Sound card for Z-5400?

    Thanks, I will look into your suggestions, although I'm not sure if fully digital soundcards are for me. My usage is maybe 50% gaming and 50% movies.

    LG L226WT 22" 3000:1 Contrast

    Apparently L226WT-SF is the silver/black model while L226WTQ-WF is black/white. Don't know why the latter has the fancy Vista logo and the former doesn't. Comparison on LG Sweden

    Sound card for Z-5400?

    Audio newb warning...:p I'm going to purchase the digital Logitech Z-5400 5.1 speaker set and would like to get something better than onboard audio to go with them. I was thinking maybe Creative XtremeGamer (regular or Fatality) for the case front panel audio connectors, which are a must for...
