    Emulating sRGB on wide gamut laptop

    Hi everyone, I've been Googling everywhere but I really couldn't find a simple answer as I consistently found posts that specifically deal with hardware emulation in expensive NEC and Eizo monitors. I currently have a Dell XPS 15 9550 (Windows 10 laptop) and it has a wide gamut 4K display...

    Anyone buy a 970 with blower-style fan (evga or pny)?

    I edited my post to try and clarify my stance but I really doubt upgraded components and more robust power delivery is really important for a card with a blower. Maybe Asus' super alloy chokes might limit possibilities of coil whine but most upgrades seem a bit superfluous for a 145W TDP GPU...

    Anyone buy a 970 with blower-style fan (evga or pny)?

    Low end in what way? Sure they're probably not packing "military grade" components but they won't be packing absolute rubbish that will explode. Remember that we're talking about Maxwell and not Hawaii. Blowers based on reference designs also have benefit of actually cooling the entire card...

    Anyone buy a 970 with blower-style fan (evga or pny)?

    Dunno what he's talking about but MSI is actually set to release a set of blower cards. Look for the OCV1 series. From the look of things, they're very similar to the reference GTX 980 heatsink except the shroud is plastic. Either way, those cards should be the blowers to go for.

    XFX R9 280x, Do VRM temps settle overtime?

    Speaking of VRM cooling, I've got a XFX R9 290 Double Dissipation as a gift. Does anyone know if there are any backplates that can be added that will work with the Double Dissipation heatsink?

    Benq GW2765HT - Cheap 2560x1440 monitor

    While looking for a new 2560x1440 monitor, I bumped into the Benq GW2765HT which is being sold for $500 in Australia. That's $75 cheaper than the next cheapest 2560x1440 monitor from a brand name. I suspect it's your typical LG based 2560x1440 monitor, with possible risk of cross-hatching...

    Very Interesting jonnyGURU thread!!

    Power supplies like this Coolermaster are a huge boon for retailers. When I worked for a relatively large computer retailer, I'd often use these Coolermaster PSUs to show consumers that they shouldn't trust packaging and that should listen to our advice. It helps with upselling better PSUs...

    Modifying the EVGA ACX cooler

    Yes! This is exactly what I'm looking for. I was contemplating drafting a plan to solve this problem tomorrow but it looks like you've basically done the basic groundwork. I've also been through RMA hell and every single damned time has resulted in a fan that has an annoying grinding sound...

    EIZO CX240 vs CG246, what's the difference?

    I know someone who just bought one for photography. I don't know what blacks you're expecting but at typical brightness levels, its as good as you might expect from an IPS monitor. That being said, it eliminates much of the IPS glow so that may give the impression of better blacks. Its...

    Seiki 4K Monitor (under $1500) Eyes On!

    I'll wait when a proper source (so not Gizmodo) actually takes a look at this. I have no doubt that its a fine display but its very likely not running at 120hz and Gizmodo is probably blind. There's a 120hz refresh figure in the specsheet for some reason (dishonesty? or TV panel smoothing...

    Sony unveils pro 4k OLED monitors

    Which isn't surprising, its high end audio hardware. Not defending the three year warranty but just about all high end audio hardware have obscenely long warranties. I don't think I've seen anything visual that offers more than five years, even very expensive "professional" gear.

    Eizo FlexScan EV2736W

    Why the heck is Eizo stuff so cheap in Sweden and Norway? I have no idea, their stuff is like twice the price in Australia.

    Asus VG23AH: The 1st Semi-Glossy IPS Panel?

    Ah that makes sense, thanks.

    Asus VG23AH: The 1st Semi-Glossy IPS Panel?

    Hang on, when people are mentioning the grey horizontal lines and glasses, are they talking about eyeglasses or the 3D glasses? I'm not getting how eyeglasses exacerbate the grey line issue.

    LG finally launches the first large-screen OLED TV

    How so? When I last checked, the HX series are just as good as other top end LED TV sets and they're actually quite affordable for what they are. Which is basically the problem with all TV manufacturers: there's basically no differentiation between TV sets unless you're especially nitpicky.
