    OLED 4K 30" 60 Hz - Dell UP3017Q

    Hmmm. There's quite a bit of difference between 2 ms and 10 ms. With only 2 ms of persistence, the difference between CRT and OLED in terms of amount of flicker should be close to negligible, following my line of reasoning. (Since 60 Hz would give you nearly 17 ms of time between strobes, even a...

    OLED 4K 30" 60 Hz - Dell UP3017Q

    As a user of this monitor, a quick comment on the 60Hz-strobe: The 60Hz mode is indeed unbearable for me for more than a few seconds. It looks so bad to me that, when I first tried the setting, I wondered what aim it could possibly serve. (The monitor defaults to the 120Hz mode from the...

    Got it. That makes sense. Thanks.

    OLED 4K 30" 60 Hz - Dell UP3017Q

    Just so I'm clear, are we talking about input lag time here or actual pixel response time? If it's the latter, when Dell is quoting a 0.1 ms response time for this monitor, even if they're misquoting it even a hundredfold, that should still mean only a 10 ms response time at worst, shouldn't it...

    OLED 4K 30" 60 Hz - Dell UP3017Q

    I'm confused. Could you explain where that 33 ms response time figure comes from?

    Monitor Can't Display Blue?

    Just like in the olden days!... (Sorry to hear that, by the way.)

    Ipod Replacement with bluetooth?

    It sounds like what you need is a ruggedized portable media player. If that's your only criteria, then your question ("which device should I get?") might be the wrong one. There aren't too many players that are designed with ruggedized features already built in. I think what's more commonly done...

    using Dominator from X58 on X79 boards.

    I'm not sure if you're implying that Intel might be claiming that purely for marketing reasons, but if you are, then I don't agree. There are way too many intelligent and knowledgeable system builders, reviewers, customizers, curious enthusiasts, as well as other expert industry professionals...

    Monitor Can't Display Blue?

    That indicates that it's not a problem related to the fundamentals of the display (to state the obvious). Keep in mind that connectivity does not end at the jack behind the display. The broken conductor for blue could also be between the input jack on the display and the rest of its internal...

    fan orientation

    I think you can't make a big mistake as long as you follow a few common-sensical principles, such as: Never have all outward-facing case fans blow in the same direction (i.e., all into the case or all outward from the case) It's probably not a good idea to have two fans closely facing each...

    How to prep SSDs

    Good point. However, it's worth remembering that Windows 7 won't be able to do that clever trick if you're using SSD drives in a RAID configuration and would most likely default to defrag enabled in that scenario. I'm pretty sure Windows 7 would have no insight as to the type of individual...

    Odd Surround Sound Issue

    That right there is pretty solid evidence that there's nothing with any input jack or RCA cable. Another thing worth checking would be some obscure setting. For example, if all speakers other than the front right happen to be defined as "none" in the speaker configuration settings for some...

    Need HS/F suggestion

    Does the Noctua NH-D14 seem to stand out?

    fan orientation

    Not sure why no one else has touched your question yet, but I wonder if it might be because the answer is fairly self-evident. Is there any reason not to set them up like this?: Blowing inward: The fan(s) in the front of the case Blowing outward: The fan atop the case The fan(s)...

    Monitor Can't Display Blue?

    Not a possible fix, but this could at least be a way of verifying if the cable really is the problem: See if the monitor has any built-in test pattern or image display that includes something in blue. If not that, it could even help if any of the on-screen menus or messages includes (or can...
