Personally, I would avoid Hanns-anything like the plague. Out of the 3 screens I've purchased, 3 failed within a year of owning it. Only 1 seemed to last over a year. (I RMA'd a failure and received a replacement and it died within a year, which is why I bought 3 screens but list 4...

Just my opinion, and this is what the industry is banking on. Almost all panels have some sort of bleed. If it's not bothering you that much (as in when you are using your desktop/playing games) then I would not worry about it. If its bothering you, then select a different manufacturer or...

I have an LED TV screen from a few years back that has over 1000 local dimming zones. It was the only model to feature such a thing and was discontinued quickly after. It is a nice screen and the picture quality rocks for movies. However, that said, it would be horrible for a monitor. Mainly...

So I logged in to play, because you have to for the $1 million prize. I lasted less than an hour. I was totally reminded why I haven't spent more than 4 hours on this game initially when I bought it. I told myself this time I'll just play PVP and avoid their very sub-par game mechanics that...

I'm guessing that the NSA is pushing for MS to track everything. Good luck with legislation.

I know I'm really late to the party here, but Company of heroes. The game is very good. The campaign was really fun. At first I was sort of irritated as I was getting tired of always playing the allies. Kicking German butt (I'm German so I get sick and tired of fighting/killing my own...

I love the Chewbacca arrest. I seen it online a few days ago, and its funny because he was fighting the cops like Chewbacca does in the movies.

The 9 year old boy in my house likes the following: I realize you mention you didn't want to expose him to FPS, but these are the ones our 9 year old likes, and I've bought him countless games. Most of them are under 2 hours played and hasn't interested him. (Here are the games with his...

This is color shifting: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/viewing_angle.php It drives me absolutely bonkers.

Really depends on what your use case is. What do you plan to do with it? Play games? If so, what type of games? FPS competitive? World of Warcraft? Etc. There is no perfect monitor for every situation. To me, one of my biggest problems I have is the color shift of TN panels. Which...

(this will be long sorry) The problem is deferred rendering. It is not a flag sent to the driver to turn off FSAA. It's the nature of using deferred rendering. Basically think of it like this (back story): When you connect the monitor to the PC, video needs to be presented to the monitor...

The thing I always suggest to people is that you find something that interests you --- in other words -- what would you enjoy working on? What tickles your fancy? That way you can have fun learning which will help in the learning process. A majority of people want to program, but don't...

It's a good list. Here are mine: A lot of these apply to RPGS or MMORPGs. 1) Quest hubs. A bunch of dudes in armor gathered together on a road somewhere and decided as a group they can't seem to get anything done, but expect you, as a solo player, to be able to do it. Oh and when you...

I have no brand loyalty. But I like to buy AMD recently because we need the competition in the market. I don't want to see AMD die. That said I will not pay over $500 for a video card. I was hoping it would be $499.

Alright. I checked my MAC addresses and such and it was mislabeled. It's another computer, and I am guessing its downloading Windows 10 at the moment. Thanks guys. Sometimes its a PEBCAK issue.
