Hi Guys and Gals, I was thinking of buying the Sennheiser HD-650's for myself for X-mas (I know, it's a long way off :-). Right now I have the HD-595 headphones and I plug them directly into my HT Omega Claro+ PCI soundcard. The soundcard is powerful enough to drive the HD-595's, but will not...

I just bought the Toshiba 42RV530 1080P 42" HDTV and it is awesome! However, I have my PC connected via DVI->HDMI and the image from the PC (movies, games, itunes, etc.) shows the terrible Black Crush effect. Basically, PC's and PC monitors use the full 0 - 255 range for sending image data, but...

Arrrgh. I have a pretty decent PC with an NVidia 8800 GTS. For the last year and a half, I've been running my PC to an ACER X241W 24" LCD @ 1920 x 1200. Looks decent, but I also use the monitor for movies and iTunes TV shows, so I wanted something bigger and brighter and newer. I was in Best...

Which one, and why? HT Omega Claro+ 7.1 Auzentech Prelude 7.1 They both cost around $200 (USD) (Claro's a little cheaper.) Claro+ does DD:Live and DTS: Interactive (real-time encoders) NOW, Prelude won't do it until the end of the year or early next year. Prelude has the 64 MB of X-Ram and...

Hello. I cannot decide: should I return the Acer x241W and buy the Viewsonic L246WP-BN, or keep the Acer??? I 've been in the market for a 24" LCD - I need it for (1) FPS gaming, (2) DVDs/iTunes Shows, and (3) EXTENSIVE (php) programming. Money is NOT the biggest factor here. Here's the...

I currently own a Creative Audigy 2 ZS, which I've kept for gaming (hardware EAX). However, I am retiring from the PC Gaming world, and I HATE Creative drivers and software apps, so I want to buy a new sound card. I need a sound card for: 1. Watching DVDs (eventually I'm going to HDDVD or...

I was just about to order a DVI-D to HDMI adapter to connect an 8800 GTS to my new 24" Westinghouse's HDMI input. I was warned that HDMI to DVI converters do NOT work as DVI to HDMI converters. Is this true? Also, I must maintain an HDCP (i.e. secure) connection to play non-degraded HD DVD...

A 42" LCD TV with 8 ms response time, 1920x1080 resolution, DVI/HDMI/HDCP inputs costs $1300 USD delivered. A 26" LCD Monitor with 5 ms response time, 1920 x 1200 resolution, DVI/HDCP (no HDMI) inputs costs $1020 USD delivered. Obviously, these are just examples, but in general, LCD TVs are...

I've googled it and searched around, but I can't find the answer... I've got an 8800 GTS. I will be dual-booting XP and Vista in the next few weeeks. I would like to buy a 24" or 26" monitor that supports resolutions at or above 1080 (e.g. 1900 x 1200). I want to play games at high res, and...

I have a Dell Inspiron 500m laptop, and I want to know if there is a way to access hidden bios features or if there are hacked versions of the BIOS (or alternate versions). There are almost no configurable settings in the A08 BIOS I have on there now. I did try Googling this, but couldn't...

I just purchased a new computer case and it has front ports for headphone output and mic input. I have a Creative Audigy 2 ZS without a front panel - just the basic card. My Logitech Z-680s are connected to it (analog with 3 lines and a digital coax) but I would like to use the front ports for...

Using RivaTuner's Graphics Processor Configuration, it is possible to mask or unmask various Stream Units and Raster Units (as well as other random bits). Doing so can unlock/enable unused pipelines. For instance, I unmasked a pixel pipeline and shader pipeline on my Geforce 6800 OC and it...
