Several people claim 4:4:4 @ 60Hz for two of the ports (from Hisense on Amazon and here in the comments from a user, with a followup review here -- plus that user also...

    Where to find decent Drupal developers?

    A customer of mine is desperately looking for a decent Drupal developer to rework their website. I've suggested to them the various freelance sites like Odesk and Freelancer, but they say they get inundated with resumes of vastly under-qualified people hoping that their resume spam will score...

    6870 wake from sleep - card crashes

    My new Sapphire 6870 is occasionally failing to initialize when waking from sleep (and occasionally when booting up). The card fan will immediately spin at maximum and my computer beeps the beep code for "no video card installed." When I shut off power on the power supply, wait for the...

    How many of you have actually encountered a virus?

    I see many people here adamantly state that you absolutely have to have an antivirus scanner installed, otherwise your computer will be infected in very short order. Now I assume that most people here are computer literate, that you know not to open unsolicited attachments, download files from...

    Smokin' - Phenom X4 9850 Black Edition = $200 @ Fry's B&M

    Fry's has the AMD Phenom 9850 Black edition for only $199 in store. This is absolutely smoking hot! Unfortunately, I already bought my Phenom from Newegg three weeks ago for $243 and I haven't even opened the box yet. Sadly it's past the refund return period, so I get to learn another lesson...

    Vista SP1 doesn't remember folder size and position?

    One of the things that annoyed me tremendously when using Vista was that it never kept the File Open/Save dialog's view settings (which I like set to "details"). This has mostly been fixed in SP1 and now I can set it once in an application and it will remember. However, SP1 seems to have...

    Removing a bezel on a Samsung 213T

    I'm experiencing a nasty buzzing from the power transformer of my 213T that doesn't go away until I squeeze and press the back of the monitor. I looked on the back for screws to remove to get access, but there aren't any. It looks like the frame is popped on and there are no tabs. So does any...

    3870 X2 is only an X1 in unrecognized games?

    In Hot Hardware's review: "If a new game hits store shelves and the drivers don’t recognize the executable, the $449-$499 Radeon HD 3870 X2 will perform much like a single-GPU Radeon HD 3870 . . ." Does anyone have more information about this?

    Vista x64 system files hidden from file manager type apps?

    Can anyone tell me if their system folders in Vista x64 remain hidden from normal apps that have their own file manager? Here's the issue: I've unchecked the hide boxes in folder settings and can see all the files in my C:\Windows\System32\Drivers directory within Windows Explorer and within...

    100W equivalent CFL lights bulbs, 40 for $10 @ S. California Ralphs

    I was just in my local Ralphs supermarket and noticed they were selling 10x 4-pack compact florescent 23W (100W equivalent 1600 lumen) light bulbs for $10. These are underwritten by the local power utilities, so you can normally find them at around $1.00 a bulb. But at 25 cents each, these are...

    Warmer - Antec Solo $60 NR, plus shipping, at Outpost (also at Fry's stores)

    Outpost has the Antec Solo on sale again, no rebate needed, but no free shipping either. Free shipping would make this a hot deal, but I wouldn't hold my breath for this to happen. If you have a Fry's near you, then this becomes a hot deal since the price is the same in store. Linky

    Hot - Antec P180B $40 AR plus shipping at Outpost

    [Edit]: DEAL DEAD! For those of you who missed it last time, Outpost has the P180B selling for $79.99 and a $40 rebate to bring your Antec case goodness to $39.99. Shipping is NOT free, so for those of us left-coasters, shipping + tax (CA: $31 shipping + $7 tax = $78 total AR) makes this...

    Warmish - Maxtor 500GB IDE $100 at Outpost, Free Shipping

    [EDIT]: Now a pretty good deal on a 500GB IDE drive at $90 -- no rebates, no shipping fees, and good for build-your-own external drive enclosures. Maxtor drives are basically rebadged Seagates, so most likely you'll be getting a 7200.10. Maxtors only have a 3 year warranty, so if you want the...

    Antec Sonata II Case, $30 AR, Free Shipping, at Outpost

    Update: OUT OF STOCK Get it while it's in stock. Looks like they're trying to clear out all the old models. The P180B hasn't been relisted since the last sale, so when this is gone, it's gone: Link Rebate Edit: That didn't even last a day. The Sonata III has taken it's place, so we...

    Antec P180B case $80 AR + shipping at Outpost

    Black only, at $119 - $40 MIR 6/13 - 6/19. No free shipping on this one so it may be a wash for folks too far away from the warehouse. Link Rebate The silver version is priced at $139 and there's a rebate on that too, but it's not a hot deal at $99 + shipping. UPDATE: Both colors are now...
