Lurker here, lol. Got the U2713HM yesterday, I am very pleased. I still cannot tell what this crosshatching is but it is definitely not visible to my eye, at the least. I also can't make out the wikipedia buzz (my computer fans are already more noisy, if anything) Overall I was prepared to...

Just received my 2408WFP A01 from Dell today. I'm coming from a 2007WFP... I can say it's a HUGE change! Also, the input lag is still there, I can feel it when I move the mouse... this is DEFINITELY not recommended for FPS shooting games, and other activities on the computer that require...

Hey there, Thanks for the reply. I guess there's no more I can do for the card then! Except.. to sell it. In fact, just got rid of it this morning, managed to nab an 8800GT for $120CAD. Ran some benches today and there is only a 3 FPS difference between my OC'd 9600GT in Crysis on...

Hi there, I've recently had the pleasure to purchase a 9600GT, and tried to push the OC to its limits - however they seem to be poorer than what others and reviewers could obtain. The card is still using a stock cooler, and nothing has been modified. I was wondering, if any vets here...

I see a LCD2690WUXi going on eBay for quite less than the price tag of $1200 for the 24" model - check it out. Great steal for anyone who wants it, but I can't afford anything remotely that expensive! Edit: Also have a question. Not to hijack the thread or anything as I have a similar one - I...

That is one big ew =p

Dead Pixel Buddy.

Meh, nevermind. It's the motherboard for sure... I unplugged the ATX connector and plugged it back in multiple times and identified the source as the status light on the motherboard. Friggin ASUS...

Actually shit, you are right, it may not be the mobo, I did a bit more careful listening and it may be the power supply. A quick google search of Powerstream 520W squealing also returned a couple of cases.

Hmm thanks for the input, any sure-fire way to tell which is the culprit? My PSU is an OCZ Powerstream 520W I believe... I'll see what I can do with the motherboard.

Hi, I don't know what's going on, by my motherboard would occasionally make a very high pitch squeal that apparently comes from the status light... when the computer is on. When it's off, it would squeal for a very long time before stopping. I'm on the brink of just taking out my mobo and...

I think you need a converter... I've read in the eBay ads that this won't be able to output your N64 RCA signals to VGA... life isn't that simple =p

Can't wait for them to be discontinued, my 2007WFP will shoot up in value =p

20WMGX-BK is the name of the 20" NEC monitor... I forgot if it uses AS-IPS or S-IPS.. meh. Here's a nice list from Flatpanels.dk: 07WFP (*) (widescreen) has a 30 inch 14 ms S-IPS (LG.Philips LM300W01) panel. Dell 2007FP (*) has a 20 inch 16 ms S-IPS (LG.Philips LM201U04) eller et 8 ms (g2g)...

Hahahaha great, my 2007WFP will have tons of resell value!
