    600hz Plasma running @ 60hz?

    I believe all of the DLP sets accomplish their 3D effects with a reduced resolution checkerboard effect. I still know of not a single TV or projector that will accept a regular 1920*1080 120Hz signal from a PC. Perhaps an old CRT projector can do it, but the cost is prohibitive. I was...

    600hz Plasma running @ 60hz?

    Do you know of any actual TVs which accept 120Hz input? As I understand it, 3D TV signals are achieved using "frame packing" and do not actually send a 120Hz signal. It is a 1920x2205/24Hz signal carrying two 1920*1080 images.

    Dell warranty and ebay - quick question

    Word of advice: when calling Dell, call when it's normal working hours in your country. Generally you need to your information to match up with the information in dellserv on the service tag. If it says Steve owns the monitor, and your say your name is Joe... could be a problem. Some techs will...

    Best Soundcard for 2.1 audio

    I have an Essence STX and have no complaints in games. It is great for music. Very low noise with my monitors and drives my headphones well. Night and day vs on-board, noticeable difference from generic Sound Blaster/Audigy types. Do not have any experience with any of the Auzentech cards, I...

    $600-$700 Build

    This particular memory will not run advertised timings on my MSI 785 board, in fact, G.SKILL support has the same thing to say. Just because you have not experienced issues, doesn't mean they do not exist. I still believe it to be very good deal on very good memory and am a G.SKILL fan.

    $600-$700 Build

    I build nearly this exact build recently, and it is working pretty well, only with mATX MSI-785 board. The only thing I would recommend is different RAM. Get some ram that is not quite so "optimized for p55" I ran into some funky timing issues, and basically advertised timing are only...

    Sony Optiarc 24X DVD/CD RW drive, opinions?

    Have one... it works and is fairly quick. Not much to say other than that. Have owned a number of Optiarc drives and all of them have been reliable. I haven't burned a coaster in years on any drive though. It's not super loud, nor super quiet, but it's not like I am using it constantly either...

    ASUS Launches New Xonar Audio Card

    Having a STX, I am definately impressed with the clarity and low noise floor while listening to music, particularly on headphones, though the sound on my monitors is also fantastic. EAX..

    Looking for new keyboard.

    Currently using a Das Keyboard here, It is quite good. I come from years of IBM Model M boards. The mechanical action is much lighter than the springs of the IBM, but still solid and defined. It feel is miles beyond any rubber dome type units. It absolutely does support "n-key" presses or...

    Thinking about a large screen purchase.

    I currently am running an old trinitron monitor, but while I do love it, I have been longing for something a little more modern. I honestly don't do much on my PC but play games, but I am a somewhat picky person when it comes to black levels/colors. After extensive reading on LCD monitors, I...
