I prefer the default Commander Shepherd's face, since it's an actual facial scan (of a male model) and looks more believable than the faces you can create.

Well, I just checked mine and it is indeed a 24D6 manufactured on August 28, yet it seems to have less brightness than the ones manufactured earlier (I use a brightness of around 35). I believe j_m and Rock&Roll are right about stumbling into a sort of service menu that Soyo is using to crank...

Hmm, there must have been a panel revision then. Mine was manufactured on August 28, and it definitely seems like it has the wider stand. Also, the brightness setting of 10 that a few other posters reported using is much too dark to be usable here. It's seems acceptable to me, though, and I'm...

You guys do know how the High Light option works, right? Turning it on sets the color to 'user', and it overrides the brightness and contrast settings with those found in the High Light menu. It's best to just leave it off and tweak your settings through the normal menu. Maybe this caused...

This monitor does not have 1:1 scaling as far as I know. The best it does is manual ASPECT RATIO scaling, giving you a choice of 16:10 or 4:3 in the menu. For computer use, this isn't an issue because drivers can be set to output with "centered timings", which is 1:1. For other sources...

Judging by interviews with him and his blog, he wasn't really the guy who made God of War so great. I'm pretty sure it was hit team that did that. The fact that the second game was quite a bit better and directed by someone else should have taught you that though.

Seconded. I enjoyed my Westinghouse immensely from last August up through mid-June, but it became apparent that the set had issues with "sparkles" over HDMI and DVI2 from 1080p sources. I sent my set off 6 weeks ago and it's still not back. They did pay for shipping though, apparently...

I think that PC gaming has declined because as hardware has advanced, the barrier to entry has becomes higher. Notice that PC gaming peaked back when many games were still 2D and able to be run on most consumer PC's. That's no longer the case, as most laptops and desktops sold to average Joe...

Nah, I think it has to do with fabrication being easier to do because of something like sticking with xga resolutions or something. The overscanning idea doesn't make any sense because that's entirely dependent on the video circuitry (especially when fed a digital signal). There's not really...
