    Soyo 24" - Should I be worried?

    Sad...that I got an MVA, but it still ended up sucking. Well, sometimes you really do get what you pay for. For the people who got lucky and got a good Soyo, congrats :). Time to check out the Westy or the LG I guess. If neither of those turns up anywhere, I'm going to stick with my old 18" for...

    what 24" non TN panel to get?

    B&M BB only? Not available online, right? (the LG246WP). From what I've seen, the LG's QC and consistency is greater than that of the Soyo's. Sure, there are people who've bought 3 Soyos without any problems. But the sheer number of posts from people who've had to return and swap them leads...

    what 24" non TN panel to get?

    LG > Westy, generally speaking? I did try to look for the LG earlier at CC, with no success. Was BB carrying them? And Fry's?

    what 24" non TN panel to get?

    How's the Westy for input lag and response time? I assume it's an MVA w/good viewing angles and colors. What about consistency/quality and reliability? Only HDMI? Anybody had one for a while?

    lapped my q6600 (pics and temp results)

    Are we talking PERFECTLY flat, or just visibly flat? Could I tape the sandpaper to a table, and scrub the proc on that?

    Currently lapping a CPU: doing alright? (pics)

    Is there such a thing as too much lapping? Like, wearing it down too much? Or do I not have to be afraid of that?

    Soyo 24" - Should I be worried?

    Yea, my previous monitor's DVI cables didn't give me any issues either. I was going to sell off my previous monitor (had this particular Soyo not sucked) w/the Soyo's cables, haha. Anyway, I should be getting a shipping label soon to get it sent back to OfficeMax WH. Sad that I'll be confined to...

    Soyo 24" - Should I be worried?

    Received it, and opened it since there was no tape (kind of dubious). 1 dead pixel on the left side, which is a bit annoying. Nov 07 manuf. date, and doesn't appear to be TN, but this particular one has serious backlight bleed issues. Tried watching a TV episode with some darker scenes, and it...

    LG L246W

    Can anybody in the Seattle or Pac NW area (yea, I'm getting that desperate) check and see if there are any in stock? I did a little math, and I'm willing to drive a bit to get this monitor. Well, depending on how much it can be purchased for. PM me if you find anything, or if you confirm my...

    Future Affordable 24" all TN?

    Hardware, you're absolutely right, and I agree with you 100%. I guess the question is (sadly enough), will they find even cheaper methods to produce TN anytime soon, causing the prices to drop further? Per the economies of scale, TN SHOULD be cheaper to produce. If those prices drop, I'm...

    Currently lapping a CPU: doing alright? (pics)

    Nice job! I'm definitely lapping (or trying to lap) the HSF, a Tuniq 120. But as for the CPU, I'm still unsure. Was this your first time doing it or do you have some experience? How easy is it to damage the CPU? I'm guessing that the sandpaper remains stationary and secured to a flat...

    Future Affordable 24" all TN?

    Bah, the TN affliction. There's a clear difference between TN and IPS/VA, video/photo editing aside. Bad viewing angles and atrocious colors. To get a better TN, I'd end up spending >$400 anyway, and at that point, why would I get a TN if I can get a VA for ~$500? Still praying my Soyo...

    Undecided About My Upgrade

    If you want the most performance for the $, get 2 more 1G sticks of RAM, since that can be found for around $20-$30. What I would do is try to get a 2x2GB set for <$70, so you'd have 6G total. If you're going Vista 64, 4G isn't TOO great because a lot of it gets consumed, so you'll end up...
