Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
This monitor is tempting me after going through a few Dell U2715Hs, but it seems like this thread's promises of a $550 price point are nowhere to be found. Amazon, Newegg, and B&H are all almost $700.
Does anyone have any intel on if this is just a temporary shortage, and if we can expect to...
Ah, the 24" ACD has a USB connector in addition to the mini-Displayport connector. Displayport handles the video, USB handles the speakers, iSight, and other "peripheral" functions. It's also used to adjust the brightness. I'm guessing you can hook the iMac up via USB in a similar way...
Just a little update - I got the display's USB connector working today - that includes speakers, USB hub, and iSight. I also have the brightness controls and special keyboard functions working.
The speakers and USB hub work out of the box. Windows recognizes the devices and installs the...
It works!
I'm using this simple mini-displayport to displayport adapter. http://estore.circuitassembly.com/products/Mini-Displayport-Female-to-Displayport-Male-Adapter-Cable.html. Just plugged it in and I was good to go.
I have a Palit GTX 470 with DisplayPort input in the mail. I'll let you guys know if it gets along with my 24" LED Cinema Display.
Cross your fingers for me...
I have the monitor of which you speak. Subjectively, the colors look amazing to me. Intuitively, the color accuracy seems great. Perhaps the contrast is a bit artificially increased. Indeed, there was a review at Macworld that mentioned colors being a bit oversatured...
I really don't get it... what exactly is wrong with this monitor to justify its measly $300 pricetag? Everything I've seen so far makes it seem like a minor miracle.
The wikipedia article on LED backlighting notes that LEDs could age at different rates, causing the whitepoint of the display to shift over time. I suppose I'll let you guys know if that's true in a year or two.
