    TV Deals at Newegg

    The 42" LG 42LH30 is on a mini-sale for $664 and free shipping. Just picked one up, it's arriving Monday. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889005072&Tpk=42lh30 Apparently this model may also be affected by the panel lottery, though it seems to be more common in the smaller...

    Seriously - Where are the LCD TV Deals?

    So, back on topic... I've been in the market for a new HDTV, and was pleased to find that the deals finally started showing up during the past couple of weeks (thanks, Superbowl). Check out the Video section on SlickDeals.net...

    NEC 3090WQXi-BK refurb $999+tax/shipping

    Source? I use a 3007WFP-HC daily. The input lag is not that high, and it color gamut and accuracy make it well-suited for video production, which I use it for. I'm trying to find hard numbers on its input lag, but have only found this thread, without verified numbers...

    NEC 3090WQXi-BK refurb $999+tax/shipping

    LOL. Still, decent price. The latency kills it for multipurpose use, unfortunately.

    Despite Risks, Internet Creeps Onto Car Dashboards

    Yes, I'm sure all car PC users will only use the technology in its intended fashion, and it will always work perfectly and make everything you do in your car easier, so that you can focus more on driving. Just like cell phones helped make our lives so much easier so that we could focus more...

    Netflix Agree to Delaying Delivery of DVDs

    Hmmm...shitty quality streams that get throttled if I watch "too much," or an extra month's wait on top of however long I already have to wait for a physical DVD in the mail... Yeah, gonna pass on this. Another example of the media industry destroying their own momentum. One step forward, two...

    No More Cheap Q9550s

    Can we get confirmation on Core i7 920 prices going up?

    Onboard Realtek ALC888 vs. X-Fi XtremeMusic PCI

    This. Though Creative's DACs being "a lot better" is subjective, of course. The average user would probably not be able to distinguish the difference using typical gaming or productivity-oriented hardware, like Z5500s, etc. For the most part, you only need a sound card for the inputs/outputs...

    Best Buy Optimization Is A Big Waste Of Money

    Basically, another idiot tax.

    Corsair H50 $60.00 @ Best Buy

    How much maintenance would this thing require? Would I have to inspect for leaks or potential problems regularly? I've stayed away from true watercooling because of the high maintenance factor, but if something like this is a "set it and forget it" type of deal, I'd love to try it and replace...

    24 inch Samsung Monitor $199 at BB

    Besides the reduced viewing angle and color shift, TN panels are only 6-bit color, meaning they can't display as many colors as higher quality panels and rely on dithering or other workarounds to mimic colors. This page goes into detail on the difference between LCD panel types...

    People Unimpressed With Tech Progress

    Was just talking about this while replaying Mass Effect with my SO. We're 27 and 26, and both are disappointed that, in our lifetimes, we'll likely never be able to leave Earth and visit a colony on the moon or Mars. For all its insanity, the Cold War did a lot for the space program in the...

    Dual Xeon vs i7

    If you're not overclocking, you're wasting the potential of the i7. At stock clock speeds, obviously two Nehalem Xeons beat one Core i7. This is a no-brainer... You should reconsider overclocking, though. I am in the same situation (After Effects/Cinema 4D professional user) and decided to go...
