there is a lot of mis-information here, I'm sure the Unknown-One just had it mixed up for a moment... i didn't want someone to read this and buy a bunch of stuff , so let me correct it.

I would give a strong recommendation to LG LED smart TVs, 2011/2012.
I got an IPS 42-incher and the screen quality is great, but I am not an IQ expert.
The LG netflix app used to suck, but they have continually updated it to where it's now pretty good.
LG (unlike all? other mfgrs)...
just fyi, my experience with the DH77DF was strange:
i have 2 LCDs
1. Apple LED 27-inch via mini-DP with mini-dp to dp passive adapter
2. Dell LED 24-inch via DVI
if they are both plugged into this board, the displays will not turn on when the computer does.
if i unplug either display, the...
I just got one of these things from bottom line telco, they seem to have them in-stock..

but again, even if fedora can see the raid array, it'll see a failed array with no good data, since even the raid firmware thinks there are 2 drives missing, does it have FakeRAID tools to manipulate what drives are members of what array?
i found this, appears to be a very similar problem...
so I'm in ubuntu 10.10 now, and no there is no raid volume, keep in mind this is not like a windows driver issue, the raid controller's firmware/bios lists the array as failed, and lists 2 drives as members, and the other two as non-members, so switching OSs wont magically make the array normal...
meaning what exactly? as i said i put the drives back into the origional motherboard, installed the origional version of the drivers, and it didn't fix it.
ok so ive had a 4x2TB(samsung HD204UI w/firmware patch) raid5 array working normally for about a month.
It was in a h57 gigabyte motherboard using the intel raid with windows 7 x64.
Today I got an intel h67 motherboard, so I upgraded the intel raid drivers to 10.1.0.1008
from 9.6.0.1014...
Danny,
while its cool that a few people have mentioned stuff about the KAW, is there an actual article about it somewhere? I don't mean people in forums talking... or mentioned in other articles...
I mean something published specifically about this device/issue?
yup, thats all true.
still, 1 guy doing a funky test with some weird equipment is enough to convince you?
I agree its possible that the kaw is wrong/bad with apfcs or anything else,
i also i agree its possible my system+lcd uses more than 100W under light use..
but more evidence points...
and as to my original post in this thread, why is it hard to believe my system uses 100W... look here:

those systems were using way under 100W and they had a GTX280, i have amuch more power efficient in idle video card, the 5750, my...
well the two links i gave previously.
i agree that the test from the hardocp dude suggests there is something funky going on... but the other two show it to be fine, under more normal/direct tests...
Given those tests i'd have to lean on the side of it being fine..
but another test would be...
haha well everything plugged into the wall is powered by AC, many devices convert it to DC at various points... I'm unconvinced the KAW is significantly inaccurate. The real test is the obvious test... plug in a computer, do some benchmark or whatever, look at power usage... from the...
of all the sources I saw, only 1 didn't use AC directly the wall, and only one test suggested the unit had problems... coincidence that it was the same tester?
thats the same picture from the link earlier in this thread, its not another test, its the same one, not new info. ive seen multiple independant tests confirm the kill-a-watt is good to within a couple percent in normal usage (AC from wall, load normal)
ive only seen one test suggest...
this does not jive with other reports of the KAW being pretty accurate at the wattages in question...

the kill-a-watt is usually within a couple percent, especially at loads around 100W.
