    Dell U2711

    Your intermittent issues with what appears to be signal strength sounds very similar to my problem. My main problem right now is when the screen goes to sleep, I can't get it to wake back up, and I have to power cycle the monitor to 'see' a signal again. I originally had issues when I...

    I dont know how fedex did it, but my tm2 arrived yesterday (shipped out of china monday morning, and was at my doorstep tuesday afternoon!) So far this thing is fantastic, everything good about it that was said is true! plays HD video, and youtube HD w/o any problem. The capacitive touch and...

    New HP TM2 available from HP website

    Definitely will do. Also wanted to add that I was also holding out for the i3/i5, but then realized what I'll actually be using this thing for, which will honestly be mostly web browsing and multimedia. No need for a real powerhouse since that's the purpose of my desktop. I figured 5+ hrs...

    Best 11-12" Netbook/Laptop, sub $800

    Thanks for the input guys. The HP TM2 suggestion I'm pretty hooked on right now; never really considered a tablet, but this thing is looking pretty awesome (willing to pay a bit extra for it). The Asus UL20 was also my other contender to the Acer in my original post, but both might be out now...

    New HP TM2 available from HP website

    Anyone have an idea what kind of actual processor difference there is between the C2D SU9600 (1.6Ghz) and the refreshed version with the i3-330UM (1.2Ghz; the only CPU option on the new version available currently). This TPC has really got my attention in the past few days. I can get one...

    Best 11-12" Netbook/Laptop, sub $800

    Been wanting to upgrade a bit from my current netbook (the original HP mini) to something more powerful. Seems like there's a decent amount that is on the horizon coming out, but there's also some potential currently out. My main uses for the netbook/laptop is web browsing, movies (HD rips...

    Sapphire 5850 (CoD:MW2 Edition) issue with U2711

    Hah, thanks for some feedback Mayenard. Interesting that you experience something possibly related with the same card. If this is your RMA'd card, I think I'd go shit-a-brick!!! Although I remember the packaging to be all new, I guess it depends on how well Newegg resells/repackages things...

    Sapphire 5850 (CoD:MW2 Edition) issue with U2711

    Forgot to add that I have also experienced the monitor going into power save mode (since no signal is seen from the DP port) when the Win7 security message pops up when an application is attempting some sort of system write (don't think the resolution is switching, but Win7 definitely halts...

    Sapphire 5850 (CoD:MW2 Edition) issue with U2711

    I'm curious as to whether anyone else has experienced this problem, or has any ideas what the problem could be. Basically when Win7 Ult x64 puts the monitor into power save mode, I can't wake it back up unless I power cycle the monitor. Also, it seems like there are times when the monitor...

    Dell U2711

    Damn, sucks for me I guess. I'm quite certain this is not related to the U2711 though, since when the monitor is in 'power save' mode with the computer off, it wakes up fine once the BIOS pops up. Gotta be a ATI driver/video card BIOS issue... :mad:

    Dell U2711

    I was curious if anyone else with a Radeon 5850 is havin the same problem as I am... I haven't been able to narrow it down to the video card or the U2711 yet, but every time Win7 shuts the monitor off (power save after 20min), I can't wake it back up until I turn the U2711 off and back on...
