    DVI-i 1080p TN Panels

    Hello. I currently have a samsung 2232bw. This is a 1680 x 1050 2ms TN panel. I've been thinking of getting a 1080p panel that is maybe 23-24 inches, but I can't find one with DVI-I.I need this for my KVM. Many manufacturers don't specify what type of DVD it is. Curious if anyone has...

    Multi computer setup at 2560x1440

    So, I have a unique situation, and I haven't found a solution to it. I'm curious if anyone here might have ideas I haven't been thinking of. Currently, I have a 1600x1080 display. I have it sitting on a KVM. I use the following boxes with it: 1-2) Mac Minis (Display Port to DVI) 3)...

    G500S and KVM

    So, I bought a G500s -- Intended to use it thru a linkskey KVM. I only get vertical motion, though -- on both my Mac and my PC -- only up and down.. Anyone run into this before? I'm surprised it's problematic given that it's USB. I did power down every device and the KVM and start over --...

    Asus 24" LED Monitor...anyone familiar with these?

    I am thinking about this to upgrade a Samsung 2232BW+ (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001310) to a slightly larger screen (I code, play games including FPSes and general purpose). I've given up on the idea of getting a 16:10 - they just don't exist without going IPS or...

    Java Tops List of Software Skills in Demand

    That's just ignorant. Java is not slow at all. Swing or Java applettes for UI might be slow compared to other UI technologies (and I certainly wouldn't choose them to implement a UI), but the language itself is not slow. The concern for me with Java is it's elevated memory usage. If Java was...

    27" 1920x1200 TN panels

    Yeah, a 24 is actually probably better for me, but there isn't a lot out there at 1920x1200, and that sure seems like a more worthy upgrade than 1920x1080 (I don't care about aspect ratio, I do care about screen real estate for coding). I am considering the U2412M, even though it is an IPS...

    27" 1920x1200 TN panels

    Seeing that the egg had the Hanns-G HZ281HPB on sale got me thinking about a monitor upgrade. I currently run a samsung 2232bw+ (1680x1050). It's a TN panel, but has worked real well for me. It is primarily a gaming setup. That said, I am also an engineer, and I get annoyed at the 1680x1050...

    Mobo help or build help

    Yeah, I tried to run both on a cardboard box to be sure it wasn't a shorting issue...checked for sticky power switch too. Is Intel the right route to go here? This thing doesn't need a boatload of power...I just want something that works well that I'm not going to be driving over to fix all...

    Mobo help or build help

    yeah, I know. I don't think it is though. I had two different processors in both boards and the same results. I hooked the PSU up to an older box and it worked. I also used my gaming machine's Antec PSU on the broken boards and that didn't help. I can't say for certain that both procs work...

    Yeah, forgot to mention, I took the battery out to clear it...no effect there.

    GA-P35-DS3R corrupted bios

    Hey all, I've run into a problem with my old gaming box that I handed down to a family member. Q6600 on a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R with a Corsair 520W PSU. It is years old, and was idling when it suddenly hung. After that, I have not been able to boot it. When I restart the thing, I hear one...

    Windows 7 Won't Allow Native LCD Resolution

    Is there any tool out there that would let me gather that information (I assume that they are the same between the digital and analog since it is the same monitor?) from the digital monitor? I saw how to set all that stuff in the Nvidia software when I was goofing with it. Thanks. There is --...

    Windows 7 Won't Allow Native LCD Resolution

    I don't see a lock for it...I got a circle with a red x and a message saying that "your display does not support HDCP", however.

    Windows 7 Won't Allow Native LCD Resolution

    Hey all, wasn't sure if this was display or video card, so I put it in general hardware...I have a problem on a dual monitor setup where the analog montior cannot be set to it's native 1600x1200. Both the nvidia and microsoft (win7 64) resolution selection screens will not show the native...
