    Dell U2711 Noise while scrolling/painting

    Never mind. Noise was not from display after all.

    Dell U2711 Black Levels

    I know that changing OSD settings after profiling undoes the profiling. Looking at presets and blacks was simply a way of assessing whether my display was operating reasonably, before the effects of profiling. After lots of further testing, I've concluded that I don't know whether my display...

    Dell U2711 Black Levels

    I wish I could achieve those results! The U2711 is set to factory defaults, with mode to sRGB? What is your system color profile set to (control panel->color management)? When I return monitor to original settings, then sRGB, and use the "Dell U2711 Color Profile, D6500," the first square...

    Dell U2711 Black Levels

    How well can a U2711 display blacks, as shown on http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/black.php or http://www.drycreekphoto.com/Learn/Calibration/monitor_black.htm? I have just received a Dell U2711. The U2711 is using the sRGB preset, brightness 30, contrast 70, gamma PC, mode Graphics. Video card...

    U2711+5750: DisplayPort or DVI?

    I have a Dell U2711 on order and will be driving it with a PowerColor AX5750 card (Radeon HD 5750 fanless). I have the choice of DVI, Display Port, or HDMI connection. I'll probably need about an 8 ft cable. Is there any experience that suggests one connection might be better than the other...

    what is more PREVALENT: 16:10 or 16:9? wondering what's more common

    By "more common," do you mean in the installed base or in new machines? For new machines, 16:9 is the most common. It's harder and harder to find a 16:10 monitor and very hard to find a 16:10 laptop. They're almost all 16:9. Almost every time a manufacturer releases a new model, it's in 16:9...

    Upgrade to Core i7?

    Good point about the SSD. I'll definitely wait for Intel's new version to come out.

    Upgrade to Core i7?

    Thanks for the detailed response. Can you expand on your thinking about the PS? The PS I have now is this Seasonic 650 watt, and it was rated as one of the best available when I got it. Why would you recommend replacing it? That Cooler Master HSF is very economical; I'll look into it...

    Upgrade to Core i7?

    I am considering how to upgrade my current system (Xeon 3070 @ 2.6 GHz, 4 GB RAM, Asus P5W DH Deluxe) as I switch from Windows XP Pro to Windows 7. I see two possible paths: a) Add 60 GB SSD as boot drive, increase RAM to at least 6 GB, and overclock the CPU (I don't have enough SATA ports...
