    High-performance home server

    Dear all, I am intending to build a small factor PC which would serve as a home server (HTPC+NAS). I have looked at this and other fora and the following is the result of my research. Any advice would be highly appreciated! Assumptions: -> small, elegant, quiet and operating 24/7 -> Intel...

    Asus PB248Q

    Thank you very much ninogui - great to hear that your experience has been positive so far! Given that I have mostly worked on glossy screens, could you tell me, from your own experience - do you think it would be a big nuisance to move to a "medium - matte" screen, like PB248Q? For instance, do...

    Asus PB248Q

    ninogui - I shall be waiting impatiently until your report from the visit in the store! :) Just please remember to let us all know about the antiglare coating! My ultimate decision will be simple: if it is light, get the Asus. If it is heavy (like U2410 or EV2436WFS), get the NEC. True - not...

    Best 24'' monitor for movies and gaming (600 USD)

    @you2 - the verdict is: wait until ninogui from the other thread sees PB248Q in the store. If he says it has light antiglare - get it. If heavy antiglare - get the NEC.

    Asus PB248Q

    ninogui - I am in a very similar situation, albeit I am choosing between Asus PB248Q and NEC EA244WMi. Do you happen to know or, could you please let us know when you have a chance to see the monitor, what is the anti-glare coating on the PB248Q ? I.e. is it heavy, like on Eizo EV2436, or is it...

    Best 24'' monitor for movies and gaming (600 USD)

    Thank you guys for the interesting discussion. As Namelessme and der_bothaus correctly pointed out - I am looking for 23-24'' because that's my preference. Money is not an issue, though I wouldn't like to be spending $1000+ for quality which I will never appreciate/use. I am not a professional...

    Best 24'' monitor for movies and gaming (600 USD)

    And when I thought that I have found just made the choice... Asus PB248Q has just been reviewed by PRAD, receiving top rating (very good). 16:10, 6ms, IPS, HDMI, DP, USB 3.0 - looks sweet. Some quality control issues, but that's the same case with NEC. Does anyone know anything about its...

    Best 24'' monitor for movies and gaming (600 USD)

    Thank you for the response. So, 2436 is out due to the heavy coating, so we are down to 3 monitors. I understand that 2336 has light coating (as per the thread here). NEC looks quite nice, but the quality control, as per other threads here, is not so great. It might be ultimately a good...

    Best 24'' monitor for movies and gaming (600 USD)

    Awesome. Slowly we are getting there :). I have noticed, however, yet another monitor: Eizo EV2436WFS. Thus, our remaining contestants are: 1) Eizo Foris FS2333 (PRAD: very good) - 16:9, 3.4ms, HDMI, no DP 2) Eizo EV2336W (PRAD: good) - 16:9, 6ms, no HDMI, DP 3) Eizo EV2436W (PRAD: very good) -...

    Best 24'' monitor for movies and gaming (600 USD)

    Thank you for the replies. I have just come across Eizo Foris FS2333 which seems to be really nice IPS with very good response rate (not that the latter is crucial for me) and exceptionally (as for IPS) light AG coating. Its PRAD review is "very good" and the opinions in the other thread on...

    Choosing External BR Burner

    Hello, I couldn't find any more appropriate place on the forum, so apologies if I misplaced my query. I would like to equip my laptop with Blu Ray external drive, to easily watch & rip my collection of BR movies (including potentially 3D BR). Having looked at various fora and stores...

    Best 24'' monitor for movies and gaming (600 USD)

    Hello, I have looked through many of the helpful threads at this and other fora and... it seems like I still would need a bit guidance. I am looking for the best current monitor for (mainly) watching movies and work / surfing Internet as well as (rarely) gaming. The budget is, let's say, 600...
