I already own a 30" monitor at 2560 * 1600 resolution. I am thinking of getting a second monitor to use in either landscape or portrait mode (so far undecided) on the side. The price delta between a 1440p IPS panel and a 1600p IPS panel is significant, so if I can make do with a 27" monitor, I'd...

Owners of the U3014: Is the backlight bleed on the U3014 noticeable for watching videos and gaming? I own the U2711 and am considering upgrading to dual-U3014 (A03), and was wondering if the backlight bleed is as bad as people make it out to be. I heard similar tales of sorrow about the...

I launched Guild Wars 2 and was only getting 8-9fps, and decided to check the CPU temperature while trying to figure out what was wrong. I almost did a double take when I looked at what CPU-Z was reporting, so I restarted the computer and went into BIOS to check the temperature there. This is...

U2711 vs U2713HM Okay folks. I need to pick between one of the two. Assume that price and power consumption do not matter; I simply need to understand which is better for my usage scenarios. I do a lot of coding, read a lot of text, play lots of games, and watch a lot of movies/tv shows/anime...

Hey guys. I recently upgraded from a 4 year old Samsung T260 to a Dell U2412m. I've been meaning to switch to IPS for a while and I simply *love* the monitor. I am, however, faced with a few problems so I am thinking about returning the U2412m and getting a U2711 instead. So if you are an...

Hey guys, I need some help picking a laptop. Specs don't really matter (no intensive performance required but a modern CPU like the i5/i7 series would be nice), but the laptop must have a 1080p display. So far, from my searches, the Dell XPS 15 seems to be at the top of my list. Is there a...

So, the mobo on one of my older PCs (that I handed down to a family member) has died, and I need to replace it.

Hey guys, I want to try and sell my gaming PC (as I no longer need it) through the Bell/Sell section and on eBay/Craigslist, and wanted some advice on a few things. Firstly, do you think I'd get a better deal selling my system together in one piece (with activated Win7 64-bit Professional), or...

I really like the specs on this, and want a sleek/small portable hard drive with no separate power supply. Basically, I am sold on this hard drive, minus the SmartWare stories I have been reading about. So the question is: has anyone else purchased a WD external HD with SmartWare...

Hey guys, I'm searching around for the best and fastest computer that I can recommend to my uncle for under a grand. Either a desktop or an all-in-one will do, as he already has a spare 22" monitor. Here's the catch: it must be pre-built and ready to plug and operate - I'm too far from my...

I need to buy a monitor for my uncle's study, which will hook up to his macbook pro. As his budget is $200-250 (250 is absolute max), I have been checking out TN panels in that range. The ones that seem to fit the bill the most are Samsung's T220HD and 2333HD. They both cost just about the same...

Hey guys, I am looking for a good clear headset to use for Skype under $50. There are so many to choose from, I am bit confused. USB-only would be nice, and they can't be on separate 3.5mm jacks as my macbook pro only has a single audio port. Thanks in advance!

I have been fiddling with an application called smcFanControl on my Macbook Pro 13"; and can see that (by default) the minimum speed of the exhaust fan is 2000rpm. I have found that by moving the minimum speed up to 2500, the fan is still silent, but the temperature drops by about 5 degrees. Is...

So, I have a Samsung 26" T260 monitor on a PC that I use primarily for gaming. I've been using the 8800GT card for ages, and would like to upgrade to something better (budget == $300, but could stretch to $350 if necessary). I have read a lot about how ATI cards are performing better these...
