    Password Recovery Rig

    I'm looking to put together a computer for GPU-based password cracking/recovery, probably using something like oclhashcat. Although we're looking to assemble a machine ostensibly for password work, we won't be performing such work 24/7 365, so a machine which is reasonably capable when it comes...

    New Build - €2000

    Hi Danny, Thanks for the reply. 6) Will you be overclocking? Maybe at some point, though it isn't a hobby/pursuit of mine. 7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have? Currently have a 20 inch 1680x1050 res monitor, but it's on its last legs now. Looking for something with at...

    New Build - €2000

    I'm looking to put together a new build and wanted to get some opinions. I'm looking for something which has good all around performance and that's reasonably quiet. Budget: Under €2000 (I live in Ireland, though will probably buy from the UK). Components needed: Everything except the...

    The "other" VX2025 or: There is a glossy screen alternative...

    Can't remember the colour settings, but the brightness was at full when I got it and was too bright IMO, lowered it to 85 I think.

    The "other" VX2025 or: There is a glossy screen alternative...

    I'm glad your happy with it, I'd hate to give something a positive review only for that review to lead somebody to make a mistake. The big question is, why do Acer advertise the monitor as being of an inferior panel type. I e-mailed them before getting the monitor and they said it was TN, I...

    *Cough* *cough* I seem to recall telling you (ScYcS) this a while ago ;) . http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1055208 Here was what I said at the time: "The most important thing I can say is that the info on the Acer homepage is wrong to the best of my knowledge. It says the...

    Best 20" LCD for Gaming and Graphics Design

    The Acer 2051 is a glossy screened alternative to the aforementioned Viewsonic, but I don't think anything can match the NEC in that price range.

    Acer AL2051W

    *raises hand* I have one. No 4:3 scaling feature on it. The most important thing I can say is that the info on the Acer homepage is wrong to the best of my knowledge. It says the monitor is TN, however, there is no TN panel that meets the specs that I can find, the panel has been...

    New Asus 20in widescreen

    According to BenQ 600:1 and 300 are the specs for their FP202W which as you noted is TN.

    New Asus 20in widescreen

    It may be S-IPS, but the 800:1 and 300 brightness are the same as the 20" AUO panel I think, the same as the Belinea 10 20 35W and Viewsonic VX2025 use. It's P-MVA.

    is there a general agreement on the better 20" flat panels?

    No body seems to be acknowledging the 1600x1200 res aspect. Understandable, as 4:3 20inch monitors are being over taken by WS. I was in the market recently and wanted 1600x1200 res but eventually gave in an went with a WS. As mentioned the Dell has banding issues, such a pity as it looked so...

    I think the NEC 20WGX2 would fit the bill.

    My first LDC flat panel seems hard to see

    This is from a French site www.lesnumeriques.com. These are images of the Samsung 244T from different angles, does your screen look very different from these images in terms of viewing angles?

    Best 8 bit 8ms LCD

    The Belinea 102035 and the Acer AL2051 use the same panel as the Viewsonic according to group tests online, so may be alternatives. The 940B is not 8bit though, I'm pretty sure its 6bit dithered to 16.2m colours.
