don’t think there has been any new, hardware based X-Fi card since forever. Your receiver/external DAC, there are some nice new ones with remote control. Also, have you considered buying a PCI to PCI-E adapter of sorts to use your older PCI soundcards?
You could drill some holes in the wall for the tubing to pass through. PC stays with you on the desk, the rad and fans are in the next room.
Or put everything on the next room and pass some cables for USB, DP/HDMI and etc. through the wall. Total silence.
But I want to be color accurate. Money isn’t an issue for myself. I just want the best PQ possible. Just hoping the AW over time will be easier to calibrate instead of being compromising. I guess I don’t want to compromise.
I wish there was a clear guide on what software and hardware are needed to calibrate a unit like the AW and run it optimally. I guess eventually someone will create a guide like that. I don’t mind calibrating. I’ve had 5 FW900’s and spent hundreds of hours over the past 6-7 years calibrating...
Ok I saw the classy review. Yeah it looks like at least through the menus and modes, you can’t totally calibrate it to perfection. Waiting for LG or maybe even Sony to release a full version, with backend that allows you to tweak any setting you want
What equipment is needed to calibrate the AW for max PQ and accurate colors? Assuming time isn’t an issue.
The Samsung variant, it’s probably the same thing with a different badge.
So I guess this monitor really can’t be calibrated all that well for color accuracy.
Is there a competing QD OLED monitor that’ll be on the market soon? Is see a few from Asus, what about those?
How does this compare to a well calibrated FW900? I’ve recently moved to a new city and need a new monitor that can at least match the FW900.
Can the Alienware be color calibrated on a hardware level sorta like what you can do with the Sony CRT’s? Meaning you calibrate the color across all...
Yes it makes sense. Creative left out the “desynchronize” button where in windows XP you could set the Creative panel on 2.1 or Headphone mode, while keeping windows on 5.1 or 7.1. In Vista and after you’d need to put windows CP on 5.1/7.1 then go into Creative panel and select headphone...
Yeah I’d imagine when they designed these cards the intended user would be at most using something like the HD600 or at that level of equipment. They never intended for their cards to be paired with higher end gear. Still, there are clear benefits when using CMSS3D in headphone and 2.1 mode...
