    HP ZR2740w - 27" IPS - 2560x1440

    Mine arrived a few days ago and I'm very satisfied. I'm loving the extra resolution and the real estate to boot. I had the distinct feeling that I was cheating the first time I played a sniper on the BF3 beta. But, I'm going to need quite an upgrade from my GTX 260 to get smooth gameplay on...

    What video card to make BF3 scream?

    Just got a 2560x1440 monitor. Is a single 6950 2gb good enough for medium settings @60fps at that rez? I was playing BC2 at medium on my gtx 260. I'm waiting till spring to upgrade my CPU, MOBO, and going whole hog on new graphics cards. Need something in the meantime because my 260 gets...

    HP ZR2740w - 27" IPS - 2560x1440

    Based on initial response time guesstimates I ordered one. Got it from Macmall for $697 shipped, no tax. I believe they charge tax in CA, IL, TN, and NY, Link to MacMall: http://www.macmall.com/p/HP-Monitors/product~dpno~8878471~pdp.gjafaef Was looking at the Samsung S27A850d, but the quality...

    27 inch matte screen and bezel?

    PLANAR PX2710MW 1080p. Bottom bezel is a bit thick. Looks to be around 3" in depth without the stand, so maybe not what you are looking for. But matte on matte. Supposed to be a very good TN. Hard part about a thin screen and a matte bezel is that companies want these to be their premium...

    27 inch matte screen and bezel?

    Resolution? Slim as in the monitor depth, or slim as in the bezel? And both bezel and screen are matte?

    120hz glossy or matte?

    Depends where you are going to have the monitor. I have a perfectly matte Samsung for where my desk is at. I specifically bought it because I have windows in my apartment that glare directly on the desk surface. I have a glossy HP monitor which was great when I was in college and my loft...

    6970 - All dried up at newegg?

    Good lord. The post says it would take a year to pay off that system. Is that even worth it? With bitcoin's popularity growing the rates are just going to go down because of oversupply. Who knows if it'll just be a fad that will fade out in half a year either. I don't feel too bad because...

    Kudos to Corsair's RMA department!

    I've had good experiences with Corsair as well. Had problems with the PCI-E cable that came with my 520HX. Just emailed them and they sent me two new cables free of charge.

    Samsung intros IPS competitor: PLS

    I can get to the "Place Order" page on macmall. Will probably wait till September anyway for wider availability and more competition between retailers for pricing.

    Looking up to upgrade my 260GTX

    I'm in a pretty similar situation. Got my 260 two summers ago and was looking at upgrading this fall, but the only game I play that pushes it is BFBC2. Will be assessing my situation in March like you when more games are released. I think that both the 560 and 6950 are priced exactly where...

    Radeon 69xx series release date?

    Who knows which slides are legit or not, but I've seen the 15th listed on a few slides as the NDA. I'd suspect a Tuesday release, since that has been the trend lately, but with the 15th listed who knows.

    Adult 6970 discussion Thread

    Is this thread supposed to be ironic? I'm not down with the whole hipster thing. I finally have a source of income and want to buy the best single GPU card out there. I hope that AMD can pull ahead of the 580, because that means more performance for me. If AMD keeps up their pricing strategy...

    Your GPU progression?

    Nvidia 5600 ?? Nvidia 6800LE ATI X1800XT Nvidia 8800GT Nvidia GTX 260 192 Next? I've never paid more than $200 for a video card. My 1800XT and GTX 260 purchases came towards the end of their lifetime and thus I got pretty good deals on them. I bought the 8800GT the second time they got...

    Looking for a Portable Gaming Laptop

    Very, very close HP. A pretty good price too. http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/hp-dv4i-leaks-out-its-a-799-dv4-with-a-core-i5/ Sucks about the 4550, isn't on notebookcheck's GPU list, but would rationally be less than the 4570 which is in the Sony SR series.

    Alienware m11x From CES

    While it's no doubt a nice laptop I still think its $500 overpriced, or at least it should be the same price as the Macbook Pro it's copying. Plus, a 4330 is a mediocre gaming card at best. Lately I've been looking at the Sony SR series which you can get with a 4570 for $940 (after...
