    Recommend me an HDD please

    I got it now. Yes, you are right on saying, that there are no 4k native consumer drives (without the 512 bytes emulation), yet. Probably some high-end enterprise models, but I'm not 100% sure, either.

    Recommend me an HDD please

    The criticism is that BackBlaze are using consumer desktop drives (and not enterprise ones) in a server environment. I agree with that part. Yes, if you use the Seagate drives in a desktop computer case, there will be less vibration and heat (compared to the racks, used by BackBlaze) and they...

    Recommend me an HDD please

    According ot NewEgg, the WD 4TB Red drive, that is not made in China, has the same rating as the Toshiba DT01ACA200 drive, that is made in China - 3 eggs out of 5 for Toshiba and 3 eggs out of 5 for WD Red. So, this should mean that WD Red drives are junk. I know they have other Red models (less...

    Recommend me an HDD please

    Ok, but what makes you think Toshiba 3.5" drives are made cheaper than the competition? Hitachi drives were also cheaper (to buy) than Seagate and WD, but I don't think they were made cheaper (or of a lesser quality than the others). Hitachi also had drives made in China. After Toshiba bought...

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    I don't think people are fooling themselves. Most of the things from your list are shortcommings of the LCD technology itself - you do one thing right, but another gets wrong. I see the problem with the technology, not with the people.

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    Just by these pictures, the IPS display doesn't look too good (the glow/BLB is definitely killing it), but at least you can see the gray stripes everywhere on the screen. On your photo, I can see those stripes clearly only at the edge of the screens. They are barely visible in the centre. It...

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    He wasn't talking about same black levels (although he said they were close in real life). And I'm sure you are aware of that, but higher contrast can also be achieved by higher luminance. So, if someone claims same black levels, but one monitor has better contrast, it doesn't sound so much out...

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    That's why I'm asking. :) Vega said the Eizo looks better in person, but is the rose dark orange or it is as red as the one on the left monitor. In the photo everyone can see the rose is dark orange. What about in real life? "Better image" can mean different things to different people and I'm...

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    I know you've said you are not gonna talk about calibration and colors in the mini review, but do you mean better image, because of the higher contrast? Is the rose orange or red on the Eizo? Someone mentioned it shows the rose as orange, because the monitor is in FPS1 mode. What if you switch...

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    Really? A few pages ago HonoredShadow posted a picture, which was supposed to be a photo of the monitor showing this stripey picture - http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1040339852&postcount=178 He later replaced the picture with a real photo (it was a mistake, I'm not saying he was trying to...

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    Ok, sorry, but when you said: "it doesn't even look like the monitor is on!" followed by a link, I was expecting to see a photo of the monitor showing an all black image. PS: It wasn't pretty friggin obvious when someone showed the original stripey picture instead of the monitor showing that...

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    You have uploaded an all black .png file that's less than 10kb. Is this really a photo of the monitor showing black screen or a screenshot?

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    I understand that. As a whole package the FG2421 sounds really impressive. I have to see one in person to understand the motion clarity. But there are some people that got really hyped up just by looking at pictures of the monitor and in that regard I don't see anything that impressive. :) Up...

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    I'm not complaining, I'm just not as impressed as some of you. :) Dcode said that in darker games it seems like there are boarders, because of the "glow" on both sides of the monitor. It just doesn't sound right and I hope it's not like this with all the FG2421s out there. Some of the monitors...

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    You are comparing it to a TN panel, so there is no doubt it will perform better. And you shot them from below, which is the worst viewing condition for a TN panel. :) I'm not saying viewing angles of FG2421 are bad (they definitely look better than some older AMVA monitors), but there is a...
