    Dell 2405FPW - repair or replace with what?

    Brief note to close out my post. I decided for now that I needed to stay with a 1200x1920 monitor, so ordered and received already a Dell U2415. Set it up today and very impressed so far. Image is sharp and looks much better than the Acer that I am using in landscape mode. No bleed and...

    Dell U2415 with 16:10 1920 x 1200 AH-IPS panel

    My A00 (dated Nov 2014) U2415 arrived today from Newegg, getting here in only three days. I spent about 45-60 minutes getting the initial menu going correctly. My dumb fingers could not find and press correct button area fast enough so it kept defaulting to standby. I am using it as second...

    Multi displays on one computer, but with different native resolutions

    Thanks for the commentaries. I am using Win 7 on all the computers involved -- my signature is about two computer builds out of date. Actually use six desktop computers plus a laptop at this location. Will get the signature updated this icy week while no desire to go outside. ---- DONE----...

    Multi displays on one computer, but with different native resolutions

    Couldn't decide whether this should be posted here or in software section, but since more related to hardware differences am trying here first. Past year have been using two 24" 1200x1920 displays, one landscape and one portrait on same computer for photo work. Previously, I rotated a single...

    Dell 2405FPW - repair or replace with what?

    Wow, I did not realize that in this 'disposable world', that so many still had these older monitors. I have never had a problem with this monitor until recent weeks, and everyone who has seen it loves the image quality for photo work. And the 1200 resolution is a big plus in useable space for...

    Dell 2405FPW - repair or replace with what?

    Thanks for comment. I briefly checked out the Dell u2515h online and it will remain in consideration. Notice though at 25" diagonal and its 16:9 resolution ratio, when turned landscape I would lose an inch of maximum vertical height compared to a 24" at 16:10. Although pixel size may create a...

    Dell 2405FPW - repair or replace with what?

    For my photo work I use two 1200x1920 monitors - one in portrait and one in landscape. This works great for editing in sizes likely to be printed. The aged Dell 2405 rotates so is kept in portrait position. But it has started getting dim fairly rapid lately, even using brightness at 100%. I...

    Need help in directing Smart TV internet audio to receiver's 5.1 speaker system, not

    for Syran- You do not really reverse the 'flow' on the HDMI. But yes, you can feed the cable box to TV via HDMI, then connect the TV to the sound system by using an 'digital optical out' on the TV to an 'digital optical in' on the receiver (or soundbar). Several professional installers prefer...

    Need help in directing Smart TV internet audio to receiver's 5.1 speaker system, not

    Progress report -- some success, but not proper (yet?). I will keep trying and as always welcome suggestions. And thank you for replies already received. Tried about every wiring configuration I could think of, and did get some internet sourced audio when using an optical-digital toslink...

    Need help in directing Smart TV internet audio to receiver's 5.1 speaker system, not

    Thanks to all for reading. I spent about 6 hours today reading every (it seems) online info source out there and find many have same problem. Saw no 'solved' problems posted. However tomorrow I will spend time trying every possible wiring arrangement. It sounds like several persons resort to...

    Need help in directing Smart TV internet audio to receiver's 5.1 speaker system, not

    Have new 60" 3D Samsung Smart UN60H6400 TV and Yamaha RX-v377 receiver currently hooked to four high quality speakers. Additional speakers will be added soon. It is set up so cable box feeds receiver thru HDMI cable, with another HDMI cable feeding the TV from the receiver. Radio, TV broadcasts...

    Need a new receiver

    I have heard of many problems with recent Pioneer models, so yesterday I bought a Yamaha RX-v377. I have it partially wired up now (just 4.0 for the weekend) and it sounds fantastic on cable TV movies. Hope to add center channel next week. Have the speaker available, but ran out of time. The...

    Help with TV speaker setup?

    If you are not concerned about the TV warranty it might be reasonable to direct wire your speakers to the TV speaker wires. Specs are likely available but your TV probably has about 10 to 20 watt output for 6 or 8 ohm speakers. The internal speakers are likely marked for ohm rating. If your...

    Can I get a GO on this build? :)

    That Apollo case is very nice, and easy to work with - have built two units with that case and owners love them. Several others want that case having seen these. I also added a 3rd 120mm blue fan to guarantee air flow. Really runs cool this way. Case has one front opening 3.5" bay, and if...

    Would you reccomend this case?

    Take a look at the black NZXT Apollo case. I've built two computers with this case and the owners love them. Classy looking, side window, blue light. One owner calls it her Darth Vader computer. Internal wiring was decent quality, and drive mount framework solid and nice to work with. I...
