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.

The silver lining is that innovative students will see their book costs drop to zero. The rest will bend over.
That works great for CRTs, but not for your typical LCD which displays a dark gray image instead of black.
I would love to find a program that could send the second monitor into power-save mode, but Windows itself only supports the concept of all or nothing.
I did this through the monitor's OSD. I hit the "f-engine" button, then switched it to "User". Then went into the details and turned down all the options. I don't know which option actually controls the dynamic contrast, though.
The one I had made a noise whenever the backlight was not at 100%, Because the L227WTG-PF has dynamic contrast, that may be why a gray screen causes the noise on yours as dynamics contrast works by dimming the backlight.
I set the dynamic contrast feature to "user", then turned it off and...
If you enlarge the font and the images stay the same size, then the layout will be off. In addition, some web sites used text rendered as images for things like menus. Those will not enlarge.
There are also browsers (Opera) that enlarge both the text and the images to maintain the layout...
