    Sharpness

    ok so it resets to a level 6 sharpness even if the OSD says it is on a different value? that's pretty much unacceptable in my book. a monitor that i am paying $250+ for should remember settings after a power cycle. and only after a power cycle? did you test whether or not is does the same...

    Samsung Smart TVs Could Allow Remote Spying

    what are you talking about? if you bother to read the article you would see that it said in the first paragraph "...remotely exploitable security hole in Samsung Smart TVs." Seems pretty clear to me that you don't need physical access. Then towards the end they go on to say that the smart tvs...

    Warm...Asus 7850 2gb for $188 shipped

    don't know exactly, but apparently the rev1 cards where having some problems like horizontal lines or dots showing up--sometimes in BIOS right away. seems like they were overheating so it could have been the PWMs or VRMs which were switched out or upgraded. again this is only speculation...
