LCD is a horrible technology for gaming, but consumers want everything to be thin and retailers love that they can fit 100 of them per pallet. Display makers don't give a crap about QA either since most people will accept just about anything that forms a color image. So, good luck. There's...

Quality issues are a given with EIZO gaming monitors. You are practically guaranteed to get a one with issues because it's where they dump the panels from other models that have defects of some kind. Class-action lawsuit, if you ask me. In this case, EZIO's idea behind the FG2421 was to...

Within 5 seconds of watching that I noticed his panel is clearly different than the one I received. On mine, panel uniformity was horrendous.The upper portion of the screen would look dark and crushed, while the bottom was bright and washed out. His looks pretty even and not bad. This...

Returning it for a refund. The real shame is they don't make CRTs anymore. This was my first TN panel in 12 years, and, from what I saw, I wouldn't be happy. Gsync is awesome though. Maybe in 40 or 50 years they'll have something better to put it on.

Mine arrived yesterday. Gsync is awesome (no going back now), but the panel I got is a piece of shit. The top left quadrant is extremely dark and crushes all colors, while the bottom third is too bright. The only spot that looks normal is the upper right. This waste of $600 is going...

I bought one of these from B&H a while back, but didn't get a very good one. Mine has lots of cross hatching, and noticeable gamma issues on the right side. I have to crush the blacks to help get rid it, and even then its still there. I'm not happy with this monitor, but I can definitely see the...

Then put the 750GB drive in an OWC Data Doubler. ($45 vs $170)

From a budget minded perspective, you could just keep the 750GB drive in the MBP and transfer files between your desktop directly using their gigabit ethernet ports. Surely you have a spare cable somewhere.

I didn't want to upgrade from SL to Mountain Lion either, but now that I did I would never go back. Having FaceTime, Messages, and full screen apps alone was worth every penny. As for Apple losing its "wow" and iOS becoming stale, I hear it all over the internet but I don't understand it. I...

Understandable, but your PC can still be useful without requiring much of your time. I'm finding the combination of a high performance PC and an iPad mini to be ideal. 90% of the time my PC would be overkill, so it's now dedicated almost exclusively to various Boinc projects and I game maybe...

I had the opposite problem. After 12 years of being a daily Mac user, I wanted tons of computing power without spending tons of cash. My advice is never spend more than $1500 for a Mac, and never spend more than $500 on an iOS device. Much more than that, and it really becomes hard to justify...

Yes, that's correct. It was a typo on my part. The later Ti models max out at 10.5.8

If it's a Ti Powerbook, it's older than 6 years. The original Ti Powerbooks (released in 2001) max out at 10.4.11; however, the later Ti models (released in '02 and discontinued in '03) are able to use Snow Leopard. Back in the day they did well, but I wouldn't recommend using even the G5 iMac...

+1 The best solution would be a high quality AR coating on the front glass. Something similar to what's applied to modern refracting telescope lenses. In direct sunlight, their glass practically disappears.
