Hi everyone,
I'd like to know what are the best 2.1 PC speaker set currently available? Please don't tell me that I would be better off with non-PC speakers, I know that. I don't want to spend a fortune on this so I need PC speakers. I currently own Logitech's Z-5500 and used to own the...
Here's my PC setup: C2D E6850, GeForce 8800GTS 640MB, and a BenQ FP241W monitor.
I have never been "impressed" by the quality of DVDs on my computer (especially black levels), so I thought that a standalone DVD player like the Oppo DV-981HD (which has excellent review for upconverting) would...
I need expert advice here. A friend of mine is in a band and they're playing a rock a concert over the Holidays. My friend asked me if I could record the show using my computer. I have the X-Fi Platinum (with front bay drive), so I figured that it would be easy with all the inputs available...
I received it on this Tuesday and yesterday, I found one stuck pixel. The pixel displays as light blue/aqua when I have a grey background. The pixel displays the correct color on any other background black/white/blue/red/green. I also ran a few hours of Dead Pixel Fixer and JFixxer... which...
I just got a BenQ FP241W and I paid for Zero Dead Pixel Coverage. I would like to fully test the monitor for any issues when I get home. What applications are good to test for dead pixels, banding, etc...???
I've been debating between the Dell 2707, 2407-HC, and BenQ's FP241W for months. After seeing the 24" and 27" side by side at FutureShop, I figured that 27 inch was too big for my needs and decided to save the money for an HDTV. I hear that the BenQ image quality is extremely good and the...
Hi,
I'm in the market for a new 24" monitor. I play CS:S often (waiting for Crysis), watch movies and surf the web. Which monitor should I go for? I originally thought the 2407-HC was the best option but I hear that the black levels of the 2407-HC aren't so good. Also, I only game through...
I'd like to have both my X-Fi and onboard audio enabled, can this be done? I don't want them to play simultaneously, I don't mind switching audio devices in the control panel.
I just received the following quote from a Dell salesman:
"Also, we just dropped the price on our new 24 monitor to 799$ (UltraSharp 24 High Colour Widescreen Monitor (2407WFP-HC)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
$799 CDN... not bad at all.
Hi,
I'm thinking of using the Oppo DV-981HD (dvd player) with the Dell 2707. Does anyone know if I will get similar "black level" problems as with the PS3 if I use a HDMI-to-DVI cable?
Thank you,
I currently have a BenQ FP937s and I am planning on moving on soon. Should I get the BenQ 24" or wait until the Dell 27" price drops?
Quality wise, which one's better?
Also, is the size difference worth it?
Okay,
After reading plenty of reviews, most of the complaints against the Dell 2707 was its dot pitch which made text "choppy" and that 27" was too large for its resolution (1920x1200). Now, maybe I missed the boat on something but, wouldn't the Westinghouse 37" be even worse since it uses...
I'm debating betweeen these two monitors. Price is not an issue, i'm looking for the best size/quality balance! Which one would you suggest? I mainly play CS:S, watch movies, and browse the web. I currently own a BenQ FP937.
Thank you,
I'm looking for a LCD upgrade from a BenQ 19". I was initially tempted towards the FP241W, especially now that NCIX does the firmware upgrade. But then, the DELL 2707 came along. And i'm the type of guy who always wants more. Normal usage would be: Gaming, watching Xvid movies, watching...
