    Anyone get their free Win 7 upgrade from Gateway/laptop?

    They should have started sending them out on the release date, but that's probably too much to expect. They say they send them out "in the order received," which sounds a bit flaky for something in the pipeline for so long. Hey, who knows, maybe they'll surprise us!

    Woefully underrated Toshiba is The Best Display Bargain

    Sorry, guess I wasn't clear: I keep the TV set to Native. If I want to use my TV as a PC monitor, then I want it to have the same 16:10 PC geometry. 1680 x 1050 (WSXGA+) output from the PC is the biggest 16:10 size that fits a 1920 x 1080 TV screen. Screwing up the geometry just to fill a big...

    Woefully underrated Toshiba is The Best Display Bargain

    Thanks for the Hz correction. I've changed it in the original. Also I've changed the screen to 1680 x 1050. 1920 x 1080 fills the screen, but I think the geometry of 1680 x 1050 is better. SH1: Ideal PC use would require an ability to switch all of the TV processing off. Hmm...as you...

    Woefully underrated Toshiba is The Best Display Bargain

    For the last 9 years we've watched TV on a 65" Toshiba RPTV, which, thanks to my exquisite timing, was by a couple of months the last Toshiba widescreen which wasn't HDTV-ready. Fortunately, it has a line doubler and component input, and displays a beautiful SD picture, especially after ISF...

    XFi vs Onboard sound

    Don't know if this is relevant to you, but with an onboard soundcard you can't record streaming audio.

    30-inch still can't display BluRay at native res?

    Good grief, what is he DOING??? Got this off the clip: So, what's going on is black bands from non-16:9 content rendered in 1080p, then blue bands from1080p rendered in 2560x1600? This would be the right scaling for BluRay on a 30-inch? __

    30-inch still can't display BluRay at native res?

    Saw this posted over at Tom's: Just a word of warning to anyone purchasing [the Dell 3008WFP] monitor and wanting to watch Blu-Ray titles on it. If you use DVI as your input it cannot display Blu-Ray titles above 1920 x 1080. Now I know this is the native res on the monitor. But HDCP will...

    Rundown: The 30" crowd. Any new players?

    Not talking about price drop over time, just between sizes. For whatever reason, there's big price inflation going from the smaller sizes to 30". As for getting cheaper because they're worse, can't agree there. Sure, you can get crappy cheap, but competition improves price-to-quality, not...

    Rundown: The 30" crowd. Any new players?

    From what I read of users' reactions to 30", the difference is awesome, a whole scale higher. I think the problem is pricing. There's this big inflation past 27 inches. (There was a similar jump from 15-17' CRTs to 19-21".) Think I once heard about special technical issues about 30" or the...

    Most RELIABLE i7 Mobo ?

    Huh? Egg is selling a Corsair 3x2GB 1.65v. triple channel kit for $209. Not very much for 6GB of bleeding edge DDR3 memory. Can't get out of Costco for less than that! ;)

    Most RELIABLE i7 Mobo ?

    Except, according to the review the P6T6 won't work in 3-way SLI mode. They had to wait for ASUS to come up with a beta BIOS update to fix it. Still waiting for the public release. A major new feature that doesn't work is kind of pathetic. Once again, customers doing the QC. Prolly best...
