    Whats the deal with the ViewSonic VP191b?

    My 8ms VP191b is still running great @ 75 hz, no burn-in or dead pixels. I may upgrade my monitor in a year but this near-color-perfect monitor is staying with me until it dies.

    Show Your LCD(s) setups!!!

    19" Viewsonic VP191b (left), 17" NEC MultiSync 1760V (right) with the ugly stand removed (now held up by a duct tape roll). The black Logitech desktop USB mic is sort of hidden under the left corner of the VP191b. Speakers: Swan M200, held up my Jenga blocks The third LCD (off): Samsung e635...

    Just Bought Logitech X-230 2.1 Speakers

    I'm going to guess you've never stepped inside an audio store. Logitech probably makes $20; $20/(5 drivers)=$4.

    An increase in price and the game bundle.

    17"-16:9 or 19"-4:3

    Despite my addiction for widescreen, my 4:3 media and 16:9 media watching is about half/half. I don't mind black bars on the VP191b because the black level is so good.

    7800GTX worth it

    I went straight from a Radeon 9800 standard to a 7800GTX - the difference in framerates and quality is amazing for a few days, but it certainly doesn't make games any more fun. I run at 4x FSAA/16x AF on a 1280x1024 LCD, and everything is running 50-75 fps. Anything in RTHDRIBL gets 35-45 fps as...

    Warning about the XP-90 mounting bracket

    I was trying to remove the heatsink from the K8 mounting bracket on the XP-90 and killed the mounting bracket pretty easily with a screwdriver. Jab-tech has them but I probably have to wait til Monday to get my replacement. Just a note for those that attempt to install it: Don't push the bracket...

    7800GTX: Which brand?

    All of the brands use the same reference design. The only differences are clock speeds, game bundles, warranties, and support. The % differences in clock speed from the reference design closely correspond to the % increase in frames per second. If you overclock manually and your card breaks, you...

    USB Cable

    If you get 8 of these you'll have an 80ft cable for $20. I don't know about data deterioration at long lengths, it probably depends on the device and the watts used.

    Check out this sweet deal by EVGA...

    I went with eVGA because BFG was out of stock everywhere. If BFG can't deliver enough cards, I can't buy their stuff. Hopefully my eVGA won't break right after 2 years, but by that time it'll be a mid-range card.

    'glossy' LCD surface for desktop monitor?

    There's some model numbers listed in this article: Sony's XBrite LCD Technology Comes To Desktop Monitors. I used a vaio for a day and couldn't stand the screen because it reflected everything behind me and acted like a mirror. The extra color saturation wasn't worth it.

    In stock BFG 7800GTX's?

    I got so tired of waiting I just ordered the eVGA 7800GTX from newegg this morning. Hopefully it won't fail right after 2 years.
