    eBay To Ban Negative Seller Views

    Himmy, Maybe your time would be better spent helping respond to the Better Business Bureau complaints filed complaining about Bullocks. http://www.akronbbb.org/codbrep.html?ID=3000177&cons=y&wlcl=y&fromWin=SearchStd.asp...

    Possible [H]ot Deals: CompUSA store closings (Part 2)

    Just speculating/guessing, but does anyone really believe there will be deals? Liquidation specialists or competitors would probably have a deal in place to buy up all remaining inventory at set prices. These companies hate real deals getting into the hands of the public, it sets precedent where...

    Input Lag - A Discussion

    Suggested reading: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/other/display/lcd-parameters.html Magicians and politicians use slight of hand and distraction to hide what they're doing and take focus away from what really matters. My guess is some of the threads on various web sites are to create the...

    Input Lag - A Discussion

    Simple answer, because in my case it is not there. Edit: I can see multiple images in between the end boundaries when moving the mouse as fast as possible back and forth, but the outer boundaries are at their edges instantly. The images the eye picks up are likely my system not being able to...

    Input Lag - A Discussion

    I've just made the switch to LCD after 17 or so years of CRT. My computer being about 5 years old is basically at the limits for playing 1080P smoothly. I was able to play 1080P and 720P without any audio or video problems on my CRT through ATI file player. The switch to LCD has caused my CPU to...

    That coupon says "no copies" I assume that means it has to be an actual cut from a news paper ad?

    Possible [H]ot Deals: CompUSA store closings (Part 2)

    My local store had at least two LCD's on display with entire lines of bad lit up pixels. Only one of them had a "managers special" at high $twohundreds I believe it was. Now basically this monitor was worth zero unless you could buy it and instantly get the OEM to replace it, but at the price it...

    Text shadow on Samsung 245BW

    If you install the EasyTune software there is a program in it for sharpening focus particularly on text, it only shows up when you're in VGA mode. On mine I have an "auto" button and by pushing it in VGA mode it sharpens by itself. I noticed the same thing on my new monitor when I hooked up...

    samsung 275T

    I can only comment on my monitor the 215TW, but it was thoroughly bashed by some when it came out and the comments were the same. I bought from an online retailer who offered a 30 day money back without restocking on select models. I did so for this exact reason, if it lagged as bad as some said...

    Choosing an LCD for an old vid card...

    I believe my ATI AIW 8500DV is older that yours and other than my no boot screen through DVI (post works through vga however) it works fine. I didn't have the resolution available either until I hooked up the monitor, it wasn't even in "show all resolutions". With mine once the monitor capable...

    samsung 275T

    If that's true on your system (highly unlikely) then my guess is you have problems other than monitor. Some of the comments on this and other forums bashing input lag, or VA, or whatever is just plain nonsense and only serves to frustrate those of us looking for real information. I just bought a...

    What is wrong with my monitor? I cant diagnose this symptom...

    In searching for answers to my LCD/DVI issues recently (not similar to yours) I stumbled on something that sounds similar to yours but I'm not sure the pixels moved. They mentioned bad or poor quality cable over DVI, cable that was too long, a noisy adapter connection, and power supply failing...

    No BIOS-boot screen with DVI-I on new LCD, boot screen shows if hooked up Analog

    Upgrade? I cringe at that word, this one cost $2500 to build back then. I can capture video without dropped frames so not sure what else I need. It still feels faster than the store computers so until they pry it from my cold dead fingers Hell I don't use DOS on my monochrome any longer though...

    Confirmation: hd 3870 has problems with certain monitors

    I tried my monitor on another computer today thanks to a very nice local shop. The post screen worked perfect on their machine through DVI-D which eliminates the monitor and cable as the problem. I mention more about it if you follow the link in post #2 here.
