    Philips BDM3270 - a hidden gem

    How am How am I on the wrong tab if in the end I am required to go to BOTH tabs to actually apply a single fricking profile change? OMG, this must be the single most convoluted setting in the entirety of Windows! So just to be sure, is this what I should do? 0. Color Management -> Devices...

    Philips BDM3270 - a hidden gem

    Well, I did set the russian profile as default. Now testing your gamma profile, it doesn't do anything either. I'm making sure I set it as default and then also "combine the settings".... :/ Shouldn't I be changing the actual profile here instead?

    The PHL profile I got from Philips site but I only ever went into the settings and "combined" the russian profile.

    I'm not doing any serious visual work on it. Just looking at the screen, I was expecting to see a difference.

    So I used that russian profile but maybe I'm doing something wrong because i did not notice any change after applying it? Please see attached pic to see if I'm doing it correctly? Or should I reboot the Pc for the profile to kick in?

    Philips BDM3270 - a hidden gem

    I have both USB 2.0 and 3.0 in my PC. Running a 2.0 A-B cable into the monitor though. Both cold-booting and waking up the PC. What do you mean the problem might not be with the monitor?? The USB hub in it just died - I tested it with a different PC and the hub was dead when connected there...

    Philips BDM3270 - a hidden gem

    Today I received a replacement unit from the vendor. The bleeding in the corners is still there, although somewhat less glaring (pun intended) than on the previous unit. It's perfectly bearable to be honest. Hopefully the USB hub lasts longer too. :)

    OK, so this morning I woke up to the USB hub on the monitor being dead. Windows cannot recognize the hub device and says it malfunctioned. Off to RMA this goes, along with the bleeding problem. Keeping my fingers crossed.

    Philips BDM3270 - a hidden gem

    Hi OP, how is the bleeding on your 3270QP? I just bought mine and though it's an amazing monitor (coming from a 27" 1920x1200 Samsung SyncMaster), the bleeding in all four corners is atrocious. :( I'm thinking about returning this to the store and maybe another piece will be better...

    Weirdest mobo noise issue

    I disabled C3/C6 power state in BIOS and it solved the issue, without affecting my CPU's ability to enter low-power state. Weird.

    Weirdest mobo noise issue

    Won't that prevent my CPU from entering low-power state, just as the power option setting does?

    Weirdest mobo noise issue

    Update: the noise is only present when the CPU is in low-power state. If I do this (as per a tomshardware thread I found on this issue): 1. Execute: "regedit" 2 .Locate: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Power \ PowerSettings \...

    Weirdest mobo noise issue

    So my Gigabyte P55a-UD4 (with an i5 CPU) has died and I've got it replaced with a P55-UD3R, upgrading to an i7 CPU along the way. I did not reinstall the OS as I would lose too many settings accumulated over the years, and it wasn't even necessary - the previous OS booted fine on the new mobo...

    AMD Catalyst 13.4 WHQL and AMD Catalyst 13.5 Beta

    Is it just me or did AMD just up and completely removed Stream SDK from 13.4 Cats??
