It is possible to just solder a potentiometer to gamepad electronics Their analog stick axis have at least 255 different steps You can read their value and change the system volume accordingly Personally I just used hotkeys when I needed this years ago The secret is increasing/decreasing the...

I don't see why you'd even need RGB Assuming the backlight is all white all you'd really need is a grayscale photo to get the backlight bleeding strength for each pixel And you could directly use the photo as alpha texture for your shader as well Now I only really tested this with some...

It could be done by injecting post-effect shaders or using a full screen overlay on some operating systems You could just take a photo of the screen and modify it accordingly That way you can have almost pixel-perfect uniformity The problem is to make backlight bleed go away on a black screen...

The manual doesn't really say anything about it and its also HDMI So the chances of it actually being 120hz are slim There are a few HDTVs that actually take 120hz input though I don't know the exact models because they're not available where I live

High-end CRTs tend to have hidden service menus How to access them is usually described in the service manuals which you can get in .pdf form

CRTs get worn out with use Dull whites / black crush can usually be fixed adjusting certain settings in the service (not the regular options) menu though

Every 2nd pixel row on these monitors tends to be slightly darker than normal This is visible on 60hz but becomes slightly more visible on higher refresh rates

I haven't disassembled the panel itself but there are 6 (+/-) connections going from the pcb to the LEDs in the panel That suggests they're using 6 separate LED stripes The LEDs itself aren't necessarily "burnt-out" either I'd try feeding then low amounts of voltage first (don't know what they...

I've only been wearing my DK2 for about 6 hours straight so far but I could probably use it all day I think it's light enough already and the only things somewhat uncomfortable are the headbands/cables

Google is just working on a VR version of Android

It is possible but not advisable The resolution is too low atm and you can only use it for 3D If you just feed it your Windows desktop the image will be split and distorted And while there's software that can project your 2d windows into 3d space and there are VR operating systems in the making...

You can also use "Nvidia Inspector" to force the power state you want In my experience IDLE always works no matter the refresh rate or number of monitors

You could make a monitor with a ~0.1mm bezel but it would be rather fragile and more complicated to manufacture 1-2mm would be easily doable But I guess multi-monitor is too small a market

Higher refresh rates always give you less tearing and less input lag - no matter the FPS If a game is fixed at 60FPS though you usually wanna use 120hz over 144hz because there is less judder

Windows 7 is logging a lot of pointless stuff in the background You can prevent most of it without wasting too much time But preventing it completely would probably take weeks You have to do things like replacing system files/folders with hard links into nothing Not worth the effort imo
