Turns out its a lemon. I tried someone else's M100 and the tracking was noticeably better. Does this happen often?

I was afraid of that. Since my previous logitech optical mouse didn't have any problems with the surface, I would consider this to be a drop in quality.

I have had a basic Logitech Optical Mouse at work for several years now (maybe 7?) and my left button is finally starting to go, so I asked the IT department for a replacement. I was given a Logitech M100, which is apparently the standard replacement mouse across the entire company (of...

I should clarify. You can only send stereo OR something that is already encoded in Dolby Digital over the digital connection from the PC to the receiver. If you have games with surround sound or software which expands your stereo music to multiple speakers, you won't be able to transmit more...

Will the Extigy decode the LFE channel correctly and boost it 10db higher than the other channels?

Someone can fill in the details, but I seem to remember that there are some issues with how the bass channel is handled in digital vs. analog. Dolby Digital 5.1 encodes the bass channel 10db lower than the intended output volume. This way the max possible bass output is 10db higher than the...

http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1032172446#post1032172446 You should use the analog outputs when connecting your speakers to a PC. The digital input on your speakers is more for the case when you want to use them in place of an HT receiver and speakers.

I'm guessing you have used a digital connection between the soundcard and your speakers. This would be a single coaxial or optical cable (similar to a DVD player). If this is the case, keep reading for more of an explanation. You will only get 5.1 with this connection for DVDs or other...

Chill out, the kid is only 13 years old. It seems like an Extigy from ebay is the best option. Any idea if there would be significant lag due to the DD decoding in the Extigy? I don't understand why: 1.) One is forced to go to Ebay for an affordable standalone DD decoder. How is it...

My cousin just got logitech X-540 5.1 PC speakers for his XBOX360. Maybe I shouldn't have, but I explained to him that he won't actually be able to get discrete 5.1 without some kind of decoder. What are the options for an external DD decoder? It doesn't look like the Creative DDTS-100 is...

bump Also, where is the searc tool for this forum?

This is the 2nd time I have had the problem. The first time I had the problem, Samsung set up a warranty swap immediately after I described the problem. This time, the customer support rep first asked me to disconnect the computer and turn the monitor back on. He seemed to think the problem had...

Well, the problem is, I think they don't want to carry more than 1 monitor at a given size from the same manufacturer. I don't know if this applies in your case though, just commenting...

Has anyone measured the lag of the 204B vs. a CRT? I'd assumed that TN panels didn't have this problem, but I have been reading otherwise...

They also stopped selling the Samsung 204T when the 204B came out.
