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.
Wow you guys are good. I have headaches just by thinking of which parts to choose, but you guys came up with a list right away. I will show him the list and see which option he's going.
I was thinking of telling him to go with Dell, but i know i can do better just like what Danny Bui said...
http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/forumdisplay.php?f=40 <<< Go to this forum, you'll have all your questions answered (maybe.. :D )
Anyways, just to let you know i work as a Directv installer and i've seen quite a few good TVs. You won't be dissapointed with any plasma or LCD out there except of...
If you are planning to use it for your computer also then i say go for the Acer since it can do both (TV and computer viewing) and the Viewsonic well, its just a TV. So pick one.
Do you need a monitor or a TV? They're both different devices; the Viewsonic could be use as a computer monitor though,but with lesser resolution. It seems like you just wanna play video games and watch movies so i'll say go for the Viewsonic since you wanted a TV.
You could try the "Hornet" from Monarch.com. You pick the components and they will build it for you. Falcon Northwest (Frag Box2) and Performance-Pc (Qmicra) are good also but they are way over your budget.
Shocky, you're probably one of the extreme gamers in this forum so i hear yah, but i read somewhere in the "display forums" that a 7900GT is good enough for his Dell 2407 monitor. Im just a casual gamer.
Just because its cheaper doesn't mean its better. Don't make me buy a Ford over a Toyota now. :D Consoles success depends on f-a-n-b-o-y-s...its the reality...price will have little effect on the decisions...trust me. Alright enough said...may the best console wins.
Im sure a single 7900GTX/X1900XTX is sufficient enough to enjoy my games with a "24 monitor. I don't think it will affect me that much playing my games at 90% details. Now back to the original post; i heard ATI cards don't have scaling settings and that the drivers are buggy.
