    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    Sent mine back. Feels good. It's a cool piece of tech, but the quality control is pretty bad, and the image quality was just too big of a downgrade. As far as I'm concerned, it's not anywhere near good enough of a display to be worth $800.

    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    Got mine set up last night after having it in the box for a couple weeks. I'm... in two minds about it. On the one hand, it's great for gaming. G-sync is cool, but I think I like ULMB even better. This is the first monitor I've used that's been on a CRT's level for motion clarity, and...

    Titan Benchmark Results obtained from HWC / Guru3d

    Unless they surprise us with a price tag that's lower than the rumored $900, looks like I'll just be going with a 680 Classified. That kind of performance increase isn't worth anywhere near $300 to me.

    New GeForce Titan??? (GK110)

    Breaking NDA to tell friends something isn't exactly uncommon... So assuming he actually knows the dudes in question, it's reasonable.

    Is going with the low profile Corsair Vengeance RAM a bad choice?

    So I'm putting together a new build pretty soon, and I'm trying to figure out which memory to get. I was going to go with 16gb of the Corsair Dominator Platinum RAM (2400), but I realized that my CPU cooler is going to be fucking massive and is going to cover up the RAM slots, making this RAM...

    New GeForce Titan??? (GK110)

    Well, I hope this card really is something to get excited about... because I can only take so much more of this 5870.

    So how would a good HTPC compare to a top-end, standalone BD player?

    Interesting. Just to clarify, I'd be using an external DAC, my soundcard is an HT Omega Claro+ (which is just outputting through an optical cable), and I'm using a 2 channel setup. And I am only looking for BD/DVD playback. Don't have any real interest in streaming services or SACDs. And...

    So how would a good HTPC compare to a top-end, standalone BD player?

    Thinking about going the HTPC route a few months from now, but I'm not sure if it's worth bothering with. All I want to know is if I can get video and audio performance that's on-par or better than what I could get from say... the Oppo BDP-93, if I put together an HTPC with good hardware...

    Get an Oppo BDP-93, or go the HTPC route?

    I'd be using it exclusively for BDs and DVDs... for DVDs, I'm currently using an Oppo 981HD. Streaming isn't even on the radar for me. And I would indeed be using this over HDMI, just to clarify.

    Get an Oppo BDP-93, or go the HTPC route?

    I'm kinda torn as to what I should do for Blu-Ray playing, as I've got some money to play with right now. On the one hand, I could get an Oppo, which I've seen in action before and find pretty spectacular all around. Or, I could hook up my current PC to my HT kit. My only real concern is what...

    Best IPS for gaming?

    Cool. That was definitely helpful. Seems like I should probably just go with the 2311, then. That saved me about $250.

    Best IPS for gaming?

    So it would definitely look markedly better than my 2407 and Asus V236H? Because that's my primary concern. The thing that's still kinda alluring about the PA246Q and the Dell 2410 is that they display 98 and 96% of the Adobe RGB, respectively. But would that even matter to me? I mean, is...

    Best IPS for gaming?

    So is there any reason to go with the 2311 over the 2410? I'm not really concerned about price.

    Best IPS for gaming?

    I'd heard there was an LG that used the same panel as the 2311, but it was slightly better... not sure which model it was though. Any thoughts on that one?
