Looking for a cheap native 4K TV that i can game on at 1080p resolution with 120 Hz refresh rate and acceptable input lag. Will use the new integer scaling option in nvidia's panel, so the image won't be blurry (in theory, haven't tried it). VRR/freesync is not a requirement because those...

I've decided to wait a bit on the whole 4k craze and go for a regular 1080p TV instead, good for PC games and some web browsing. I also want it to be rather cheap, since i'll upgrade to a 4k TV in the next 3 years. What i need is low latency (sub 30ms, i think), no strange ghosting issues, and...

Hi, i need some good in-ear monitors for using in a relative noisy environment, primarily for low-competitive gaming and movies with dolby headphone virtual surround (provided by my sound card). So they need to have as good as it can (in my price range) soundstage and 3D imaging. I know these...

I'm thinking i'll need some sort of IR - USB receiver that's plugged into my pc and can learn TV remote's signals and a software which i can customize to do some simple keyboard shortcuts. I want to be able to shut down my PC along with the TV (1 or 2 button presses) and have control over basic...

Here's my dilemma: i want to build a rig for playing games in 3D, @720P and want minimum 60 FPS with vsync ON, with most graphic details at max (or close to it, depending on game). Since the low resolution, i'll also need to put some AA there, but i'm not sure what value i'll need. As far as i...

I need some recommendations for a dual 680 GTX SLI setup, if you could help me, please. I want a PSU that's fully modular (i.e. including the ATX cable) and preferably shorter, like 140mm-150mm long. I know that some Silverstone PSUs are 140mm, but i want some other options, since i don't...

I'm looking for a 680 GTX with a blower type fan (nvidia's default cooler for 680). Are they all the same, just different stickers applied to them? Do noise levels vary between different 680 gtx models with the nvidia type blower fan? Maybe different RPM levels set in bios? I want one that's...

Hi, This is often found on some mobo integrated soundcards, especially on Asus boards. How good is the 3D headphone imagining in games, especially compared to Dolby Headphone (available on a dedicated soundcard)? I want a mini itx gaming pc, and the only mobo with decent sound specs is the...

I need something to automatically highlight all the duplicate words on a page (including frames), preferably in different, random, colors. I use google chrome, i've searched for an extension, but none of them do what i want. Google search gave me nothing, i almost gave up. Can anyone help me?

I'm looking for a low resolution 27" LCD screen, 1920x1080, with a non TN screen. TN screens are many, but non TN and 1080P only? Please share the info, thanks.

This SSD will get a lot of usage and must be 60GB - 120GB. So what's the fastest for this task? Intel? Crucial? Samsung?

I want an external hdd that i can store my files on it and should be accessible to the computers in my house. A local cloud, nothing more. But it must have torrent download support (one that can compare with uTorrent). It must be as small as possible and fast (depending on hdd). Ideally, i'm...

I have a small room, 12' x 9.5', what's the biggest 16:9 diagonal i can get with a projector (<1500 usd, 720P)? Can anyone tell me? The problem is i don't know yet what projector i will get, all i know is i want the biggest screen that can fit that room. :D I ask this question because i know...

I've seen that many of the new nvidia cards come with 3 video outputs, usually 2 DVI and one mini HDMI, so: 1. For office work only, can i use 2 LCD monitors + 1 TV LCD, all 3 in extended mode? If not, then... 2. Can i switch between 2 LCDs in extended mode and the TV, just by using...

I have a WD 6400aaks 00A7B0 (640GB, Blue) hard disk and recently i decided to check its SMART info, to see if it's ok (not because of warnings signs, but just as a precaution). The hdd was working fine in my pc, but the SMART utility showed that it had a warning sign at the "Current Pending...

How well is made the scroll wheel? Does it wobble? Is it noisy? How many hours goes without charging? For example, if you say it last 3 days, pls say how many hours a day have you used it. Thanks.

Something like the one in the pic below, but with an ON/OFF switch, so i can turn it off when i don't need it. Basically i want something like those external hdd docks, but internal. Anyone knows where i could find one, if it exists?

If i play a 720P game which has no AA (most console games) on a 1080P native LCD, will the upscaling help smoothen out the jaggies? I know it's not a replacement for true AA, but does it help?

I was wondering if it's healthy for the eyes to be sitted close to a 37" LCD tv? :confused: By close i mean 3-4 feet. I use the pc 5 hours or more, every day. Currently i use as my main pc monitor, a 32" HD LCD (720P) at a distance of 3.5 feet (~1 meter) and it's ok. But the resolution is a...

I know a lot of current next gen games (ps3 and xbox360) are 720P only (as in native resolution, non-scaled), so i wonder on what LCD do they look better: on a HD LCD (720P) or on a FullHD LCD (1080P)? Let say for a 42" inch lcd. I know that current consoles have the ability to upscale 720P...

The 42" model: http://uk.lge.com/products/model/detail/lcdtv_42lg5000.jhtml It have a great price and the specs are ok, but i didn't find many opinions on it. I was interstead in buying one for PC use and consoles, mostly gaming...Anyone has one?

I want to use a FullHD TV LCD as a pc monitor but my biggest fear is for input lag. I know most tvs now have a gaming mode, but it's not perfect and varies from model to model. So, if anyone here is a hardcore FPS gamer (playing fast games like UT, CS or Quake) that uses a HDTV as a pc gaming...

This one: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/productdetails.aspx?pid=088 I'm not a pro gamer, but play a lot of games (fps, rpg, rts, etc) in singleplayer, and some in mp, with my friends, mostly fps (like UT). Does this mouse have any lag? I don't care about dpi and shit...

I'm sorry for the long post, i hope you'll have the patience to read it all. Thanks in advance. :D What i have now: A 22" LCD monitor and a 32" LCD-TV (HD, only 720P, 1360x768), a pc and some consoles. I play all kind of games, from rpg to fps, from 3d to old 2d games. I've tried to use...

Do you know any 26" wide lcd monitor (not tv), tn or pva/ips, with component inputs and aspect ratio options that work?

As the title says. I want to stay away from the problematic Qimonda chips.

Can someone help me find me such a tool? I found some manual nibblers, but they only cut a maximum of 1.5mm (or 1/16") thick aluminium sheet. :(

I'm looking for a good Intel chipset based microATX board, with lots of tweaks in bios and good performance. It's for a small gaming pc, with a 8800GT and 6850 CPU. I want to do some decent overclocking, but nothing over the top. Any recommendations? What's the best microATX mobo around? :)...

Should i buy this keyboard? I need one for general web browsing from my couch, 2-3 meters away from the 32" 720P LCD TV, using the touchpad as a mouse. Is it ok, price aside?

I know many of you will be tempted to say i should buy a large (>>37") HD 1080P TV LCD, but i don't have neither the money nor the space for such a big TV LCD. So, i have only two options: 1: buy a LCD TV, maximum 32", 720P only. 2: buy a 24" LCD PC monitor, like Dell 2407 and use it with...

I was intrigued by this test: http://www.digitalversus.com/duels.php?ty=6&ma1=88&mo1=116&p1=1217&ma2=88&mo2=174&p2=1747&ph=12 In the past i had a Samsung 21" 215TW, and i had to return it because of input lag.

I am interested in buying a Dell 2407wfp or, if i get more money, a Dell 2707WFP. Besides playing games on my PC over the DVI, i want to use a Playstation 2, a Wii and a xbox 360, for playing games. But before i buy the LCD, i want to ask you some questions: For both the 2407WFP and 2707WFP...

I need some 5mm panels, red and white tint, cheaper than AC Ryan's stuff. ;) US only.

I need two switches for the power and reset mobo functions and one or two for turning off and on the lighting in the case. What types of switches i should be looking for? How are they called? Also, if you know a good place in US where i can find a switch looking like this one (with or without...

Hi, this is my first worklog here (and anywhere as a matter of fact) and english is not my native language, so be gentle :D. So, i purchased this case because of its small size and great cooling potential. The only drawback is that it's made of aluminium (1mm thick) and is prone to vibrations...

My 215TW has a very limited nr of resolutions above 1024x768: 1152x864; 1280x960; 1280x1024; 1600x900 and 1850x1050 (native). I want to add more 16:10 resolutions, like 1440x900, but when i add it, it says "cannot add this custom resolutin". Why? What am i missing?

I was thinking buying a LCD TV with a pc input, 720p, 1366 x 768 resolution, 16:9 and set it as my only LCD for PC. Can this LCDs display lower resolutions, like when you enter BIOS or when booting windows on PC? Can i use this type of LCD TV for daily PC use, without the need of a second pc...

A 19" 4:3 (1280x1024) lcd or a 22" wide (1680x1050) lcd? With a 21" wide lcd i have trouble reading the text, because is too small in native resolution, so no good for me. I am referring to windows fonts and web pages fonts size. And yes, i've tried to increase the size, but it doesn't work on...

Hi, I can't return it so i have to live with it (Samsung 215tw), i was wandering if there are any solutions that can reduce, even a little bit, input lag? I've noticed that when i change from a ball mouse to an regular optical mouse, the effect is a little bit reduced, at least in windows. So...

Like these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-SRSZP1000-CEK-Personal-Speaker-System/dp/B000BTC68Y I want some good 2.0 speakers for games and movies, with good bass, but without a subwoofer. I saw these speakers, they seem nice, but google search isn't giving me a lot of reviews (actually only 1-2...
