If you just need larger text, then just increase the dpi on your screen. I set mines to 135% of normal and everything shows up in bold ~12 pt font - very easy on the eyes. Alternatively, you can increase the font size on your program or use your zoom controls. Also, get a monitor with good...

Crazy setup. Useless unless you're in the broadcasting business. My perfect monitor: - 22" widescreen (anything bigger and you'll have to sit > 5ft away. Desks at most are 3ft deep.) - flat monitor <2" thick. - ~100% of the adobe color gamut. - full HD (1920x1200) resolution. -...

When are these manufacturers going to deliver a 22" monitor that actually performs better like full HD resolution, increased color gamut, or better viewing angles rather than throw on these worthless bells and whistles. *sigh*

So nobody knows for sure if the the external drives are the same as the internal ones being sold? Right now, there are a ton of deals on 500 gb external drives for ~$100, but none on internal. I would like to pick one up and convert it to internal if there are no differences/performance...

Does anyone have any experience with this. Reason I ask is because I can get a 750 GB external drive way cheaper than an internal. Do the hard drive makers use the same drives in both products? If not, what are the performance differences? Thanks.

Called Human solutions yesterday. Asked if they would price match OD because I wanted a fabric chair. The sales lady said it was impossible because $350 is below cost. Are you kidding me? Unless it is made of 24K solid gold, how could it possibly cost >$350 to make any chair??? I'm calling BS.

Yup. Didn't work. When I click on the checkout button, I get an error message: !Error (CD05) You entered just , of the 1, items required to apply coupon 099070251. Please, enter all required items and try again. Thank you. ~which means the 35% coupon does not apply to Ergohuman chair. :(...

The 35% off only applies to OD branded chairs :( Also, coupon discounts cannot be stacked. Otherwise, I'd jump all over this.

Aw, that's messed up!. I bought this PSU 4 months ago for $50! And now your telling me the price has dropped 80%? Anyways, this PSU isn't all that great. The construction of the connectors (esp the SATA connectors) is very flimsy. The cables are too long for my liking. The fans are temp...

Hi. I just purchased a EVGA 8800 640 mb GTS -- first Nvidia card ever. I would like to OC it but don't know if I need to get a different cooler/fan first. For those of you that OC'd your card, how far were you able to push it with the stock cooler? Please let me know. Thanks.

Still, the SD card brings the price closer to $300, which is the lowest it has ever been. In my book, that's a relatively good price for a top tier card. I say 'relatively' because I know high end cards are generally overpiced (for example, I could buy a whole system for $300). But thats...

Hey, I just discovered a great way to clean your LCD. Thought I'd share with you guys here. If you have a small basketball pump, you can use it to blow the dust off your monitor and then wipe off your desk after your done. No dripping, no water stains, no scratches, no mess. Works just as...

Ok guys, the deal just better! Enter code VISA71Q and purchase with your Visa card to get a 512 MB Corsair 60X SD memory card ($20 value) for FREE. Just bought mine after holding out for months. Can't wait to get it and watch my games come alive :D

That sucks. I don't want to re-install XP just to get BTV to work properly. There must be some other way. Btw, the problem is definitely not CPU or hardware related because I have no issues watching & recording TV with the bundled Catalyst Media Center. Also, I've noticed that BTV...

OK...I found the problem -- I have to manually enable the hardware de-interlacing in the BTV settings. When I did that, CPU usage dropped to 40% but the video was stuttering on all channels. Could this be the result of BTV simultaneously recording and displaying live video? If that is case...

Hi. I have an ATI Wonder 650 and Beyond TV 4.6. I think the software is pretty cool but it totally drains my system resources (76% CPU usage when watching live TV). In comparison, Catalyst only uses 30% of my CPU while watching television. It's like Beyond TV doesn't know that my tuner can...

bump. Anyone out there who can help me with settings for this monitor?

Hi. I just got a new 19" Dell Monitor for my office. Has anyone here calibrated this monitor. If so, could you please post you color profile or settings (e.g. brightness, contrast, RGB). I'm trying to get it to look right. Thanks.

I was in the same boat as you but I must say going to an LCD was rather disappointing, even after calibration. The color reproduction on my new LCD was nowhere near the quality of my outdated CRT. After reading the threads in this forum, it is pretty clear that consumer LCD's have a long way...

Samsung 226bw (if you like matte) HP w2207 (if you don't mind the glare) Also check out the Viewsonic vx2055wmb or vx2255wmb if you want a monitor loaded with features: webcam, speakers, mic, height adjustable stand. All of the monitors mentioned above have a contrast ratio of 1000:1 & look...

In my opinion, matte LCD's are best for watching movies, TV, & games which typically have alot of dark backgrounds. When viewing dark frames on a glossy LCD, the reflections & glare really obscure the image & strain the eyes. Laptops all have glossy screens because most people use them for...

Um, maybe you ought to do more research & get your facts straight. HP w2207 is HDCP ready. http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/product_detail.do?product_code=RK282AA%23ABA&tab=detailed_specs&storeName=&landing=&category=&subcat1=&catLevel=#defaultAnchor Click on the *.pdf file at the bottom

Really? Looking at the display with dark frames for me was like looking at a mirror, esp, with the bright lighting of the store. My CRT is nowhere close to being as reflective.

Did not see any ghosting on the videos. There is really no noticeable difference between 2ms & 5ms. Anything below 10ms is fast enough ="http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/other/display/lcd-parameters_2.html" It boils down to this: If you want the best picture quality, go with the HP or...

Just got back from CC. Both monitors were on display and I was able to play with them. I compared still pictures, videos, and text on both screens. Here are my findings: 1. Stills - HP is definitely better. Colors appeared more vivid and lines were sharper. 2. Text - Again, HP is the...

From the specs & brochures, it looks like it may be able to give the Sammy a fun for its money. (1000:1 Contrast, 300 ccd brightness, GLOSSY screen, fully-adjustable stand). This customer seems to think highly of it, which makes me pretty excited. I will check this out at CC after work...

Try the HP 2207, just released: http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/productDetail.do?oid=176653&WT.mc_n=4&WT.mc_t=U&cm_ven=COMPARISON%20SHOPPING&cm_cat=GOOGLE&cm_pla=DATAFEED-%3EPRODUCTS&cm_ite=1%20PRODUCT&cm_keycode=4

The Ford vs Kia comparison is really stretching it. All I am saying is that companies use different supply sources all the time. Are there differences between vendors? Sure, but they are only slight differences and no matter what, they still have to meet the design standards set by the...

I agree with your assessment. I used to work in manufacturing and it is very typical for companies to have multiple sources for their components. It's just common business sense. If something were to happen to one supplier, you'd still have a backup and your supply line would not be...

I asked the Viewsonic sales staff and they told me it was 1000:1 & 300 ccd. I don't know whether to believe them or the spec sheet. But it doesn't make sense for them to release a 20" version with those specs and not a 22." Also, like you mentioned, a 22" with lower specs would just be...

MONITOR AVAILABLE NOW!!! www.buy.com - $368 www.provantage.com $356 Can't wait to see if the picture quality is as good as the Sammy 226bw.

Just got email confirmation from Viewsonic... Contrast ratio on this baby is 1000:1. :D If it has as good of picture quality as the Samsung 226bw, then I think we've got a new winner in the 22" category. I can't wait to check this out. Viewsonic Vx2255wmb Grades 1. Picture quality -...
