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.
There's a test of an LG OLED TV over on tweakers.net that says its the best TV ever. Very nice picture quality, HDMI2.0 does support 4:4:4. Bit high lag of around 50ms, but I'm no gamer.
However good it looks, I do keep hearing about burn-in problems with OLED, so is this suitable for desktop...
Thanks for the very elaborate response!
I agree Teracopy isn't perfect. It doesn't crash with me once I get it to work on a machine, but I do need to disable UAC or it won't kick in at all. And I too only use it because of the verification. I very often have to copy stuff, and it needs to be...
I reinstalled my PC a couple of weeks ago. Win7 x64, fully updated. I also upgraded my PC from 16GB to 32GB (still good ol' Sandy Bridge system, i7 2600K, Asus P8P67Pro)
Now I used to run Teracopy, but I'm having trouble with it now, it won't take over from the Windows copy handler. I'll fix...
When I turn sideways on my Philips, I see no flicker. It depends on your personal sensitivity to PWM. I suggest you try it, for now there's no real alternative that has no PWM but offers the same PQ as the Philips, unfortunately.
I run at 30% brightness, and do notice darker corners, but not enough to be a bother. As for the stand, it really did bother me so I chucked it and got a seperate VESA mount, which allows adjusting the position in height, tilt and rotation. It only does not allow going to portrait mode ;)
Nice monitor, had one for years. Still uses CCFL backlights. If in good condition (the powerbuttons being a weaker spot, I saw several ones at work going bad) I'd pay $50, no more.
Yeah, I ran over the entire menu and disabled any "automatic" stuff. I always do that on all my devices. So when I read the question I was scratching my head what he was talking about. I never saw it to begin with.:D
I agree the Philips isn't suitable for viewing from 1 foot away, but starts to be OK from 2 though. I got mine as a replacement for the benq bl3200pt, because the service from BenQ is absolutely horrible. If you have a defect, the warranty consists of sending you a replacement monitor, from a...
