    Upgrading HDD - differences?

    Ok, thanks. My 2nd drive is completely empty, so I have no need for space right now. Glad I didn't waste money. Thanks again! :) I have noticed a big increase in my game just from the extra 2gb of RAM. Hopefully a fresh install of 64 will help even further with load times (I still have the HP...

    Upgrading HDD - differences?

    I have 2 drives installed direct from HP, I had THOUGHT they were 5400 drives but they are in fact 7200 drives. I contacted HP to find out for certain. They are Seagate Momentus ST9120823AS in 120 GB. Is it worth an upgrade to another drive if I am just concerned with speed? Or am I only...

    DoubleSight DS-265W Official discussion!

    Here's to hoping the 30" is cheap like the 26". HDMI makes this a win for me.

    AMD Radeon HD 4800 Series @ [H]

    I want to say thanks for using AoC for your reviews. Think I'll get the GTX 260 when it drops a tad.

    Games used for evaluations/reviews/benchmarks

    I play mostly RPG's so I'd like to see cards benchmarked with those, especially Age of Conan which is a demanding RPG.

    DoubleSight DS-263N - 26"

    Will the new stand be like the Planar stand? Height adjustable, tilt, swivel, ya know? One thing I hated about it and killed the cost benefit factor for me. Dunno if I could get over ghosting though. :(

    Will the 4870 X2 take back the performace crown?

    No, it'll be a dual GPU, along with dual GPU comes the usual issues.

    32" 1080p IPS panel as a PC monitor

    This is one I'm considering for a PC monitor so let me know how it turns out. I can get it locally for about the same price (I don't want to deal with TV shipping :eek:)

    4850vs 4870...

    No one really knows. Look at the 4850, the actual release date is quite the mystery. :confused::)

    Awesome. Can't wait. This card is looking like pure awesome (it's really late here LOL).

    4870 vs gtx260. which one?

    Yeah, I'm thinking the same. If it does perform like those charts someone posted, I'll definitely get the 1gb ddr5 version over the 280. 5 fps isn't worth ~300$.

    does this help determine when we will get it? I wanna burn my eBay coupon lolol.

    Just got my 32 inch toshiba regza 1080p 32RV530U

    Did you see what I wrote? I know I was wrong thus my question asking what it was. Since VA's have color shifting it's important people know what is VA and what is IPS. Though 10e told me TV's don't experience it as much, it still is a concern of mine.

    am i obsessing too much about plasma over lcd?

    Well, recent LCD's, though considering the guy is not worried about cash, he can get the 2008's. Well, I'm overly picky, if my non-picky bf hates it then I get surprised. He's most concerned with price/performance. Linking 60+ TV's is useless in this thread, no they weren't cryptic, just...

    4870 vs gtx260. which one?

    How long do the back their warranties realistically? I don't picture me keeping whatever GPU I buy next week until I'm 80, lol, but a max of 2 years, as long as they will back it for 2-3 years I'm happy. :)

    4870 vs gtx260. which one?

    Can you cite a source for the 4870 having roughly the same performance as the 280? I'm not a fangirl in either area, just trying to decide on a GPU. And if that were true I'd get the ATI for sure.

    am i obsessing too much about plasma over lcd?

    Uhm, AVS forums were the place that made me decide in the end to go plasma. Plasma>LCD>DLP for picture quality overall. "What looks good to videophiles and the average consumer are not the same" So you've got both saying go the plasma route. and...? point? Are people dense? You can...

    Current state of LCD monitors?

    Add to your list, Panasonic 32LZ800 and Toshiba 32RV530U. I'm still waiting to hear back about the 4. Seems like any should work (as long as they are 1080P), as to which is best I am still waiting to hear in my thread. Just make it clear, I had trouble on another forum where people went on...

    am i obsessing too much about plasma over lcd?

    Well, you can't argue fact. You can't get the plasma picture from an LCD and most definitely not a DLP. The OP said, "i'm in the market for a 50 incher, but i want to spend money on something that'll last, i don't want a cheapo unit that i'm going to regret buying in a year or two..." which is...

    Generally if someone is considering a plasma or even LCD, a DLP will be quite the disappointment for them.

    I'm going to go crazy if I don't find an LCD soon.

    Thanks 10e. I'll check the links. I appreciate all your help, I asked this on another forum and they went into a discussion about how there are no 1080p 32" tv's, like, say that again please? LOL. My laptop has only HDMI so that is good probably, I have to work up to drag it there since it's...

    Go the mods then, you are the one TROLLING this thread. Why aren't you doing something "creative"? Your English sucks, "Be sure I know enough grammar to send you in the right place" doesn't even make sense whatsoever. Now GTFO this thread.

    Best monitor for less than £400

    I'm surprised no one has answered you. I can get a guy to troll my thread but no one has answered this. In regards to the FP241W, I think you'll have to try it to see if you like it. Assuming you can. It is highly rated but as with everything in life there will be people who are picky and...

    Firstly, I am not a 'he'. Why do people think this name sounds manly? Well I guess people have difficulties with gender differences these days. Secondly, this is MY thread, if you don't like it and don't want to answer me fully without insults and generalizations, then politely GTFO and go do...

    What glossy 24incher to get nowadays?

    I think this must depend on the Best Buy, because the 24" HP's at every BB I've gone to were hooked up to computers. Along with the 24" Gateway. Possibly because they sell them with the HP/Gateway computers :). So that is a good thing. I didn't think to go web surfing on them, but yes, please be...

    I'm sold. Who else?

    I don't want to SLI or crossfire because of microstutter. I haven't made up my mind yet, my eBay auctions did so well and since I can get 30% off the GTX 280 is tempting but I'd like to see how the 4870 GDDR5 scores (my 10% ebay coupon is up the 30th though, so I hope to find out next week!)

    Why can't I use 1920 x 1080? 32in monitor

    I hope you just bought it so maybe you have the chance to return it. You should have been looking for a 1080P set, which yes, is more expensive. But if you are going to use it as a PC monitor, I don't think 720P is all that acceptable (and I'm sure you can see why!) :)

    Ok, so I am not the only person who sees this? I am perhaps the most introverted, arrogant, and stubborn person most people could meet, but even I can't stand this guy. Look what he said in another thread (again promoting NEC :rolleyes:) "and your intellect is higher than just playing...

    I'm going to go crazy if I don't find an LCD soon.

    Anything you have to say is of little value to me after that comment. You obviously haven't used more than one LCD and the only thing you know how to do is generalize. Now please, take your overpriced POS display and get out of my thread and go be "creative" if that is what you call it. Right...

    Just got my 32 inch toshiba regza 1080p 32RV530U

    Awesome. And do the TV's have certain panels like IPS/VA/TN? (if so, do you know which it is?) It's gotten awesome reviews and now I'm so tempted. Cause I know I can haggle with the NFM guys (got my GPS CHEAP!) Is the text when web surfing ok? Does it have PIP? Thanks! :D
