Going to bump this one more time if anyone has found a resolution. Have a 42" Panasonic VIERA IPS monitor which has the same issue with my new Gigabyte 670 card. Plugging the cable back in works just fine, but if you turn off the TV then turn it back it comes as a black screen with 'generic...

It'll probably be 4.1 or 4.2 with focus on features over under-the-hood improvements and UI changes. I can see them beefing up voice control to compete with Siri and maybe integrating with Google TV if they're serious about having that preinstalled on all new TVs by next summer. Google also...

The display manufacturers don't give a rat's ass about gpu manufacturers and vice versa. But if we did see monitors of higher resolution, that would just reduce the need to use AA (assuming most new games don't just implement FXAA which is very fast). So you have the same thing going on. And...

I need it so bad, just stick it in my veins =_=

My first dedicated video card was a Geforce 2 MX. My second was a Geforce 4 MX, not realizing it was practically the same card. My third was the infamous Geforce FX 5600 (yes, that one), which I paid good money for. My fourth one was an unbranded 8800GT from Galaxy, which came in a...

I only got around to trying both iOS and Android for the first time this summer, and I've been reading about them for three years. I tried iOS first on an 4th gen iPod Touch and one of the first things that surprised me was how many stutters and crashes I was able to spot within my first week...

Using alpha 11 on my Nexus S as well. Previously I was using NSCollab and Nexus MV, both with Matr1x and GlaDOS kernels. I don't use my phone much for anything except as an ebook reader. I would have said the stability of the alpha 11 is good for everyday use but it rebooted/crashed on me...

SGS 2 has microsd, cpu, gpu and camera advantage. Nexus Prime has pentaband GSM, bigger screen and possibly nicer design - although that is subjective and I rate both highly on the pretty factor. All else like build quality and cost should be about the same. I just installed ICS AOSP-based rom...

Bummer about the camera, and the fact that it's still plastic. Really looked like metal at a glance, but closeups tell the truth. I'm still waiting for a proper hardware review, this one seemed to focus on software that many other phones will have.

This is a problem in North America mainly. The mindset of getting uber devices for dirt cheap upfront has let manufacturers charge whatever they want because the carrier is going to make major profit throughout the life of the contract anyway as the total cost of ownership is obscene compared to...

This is the big news I've been waiting for, since ICS on AOSP means a proper OS for my HP TouchPad. Right now I consider it barely useable even for the $100 price I paid. With ICS on it, it will be the best thing ever.

@ t4rd I get what you're saying, but if you're looking at hardware only, then whatever the top dog is will be at least a marginally popular handset. Specifically, the SGS 2 still has the fastest SoC/GPU combo outside of iPhone and even if you don't want to go the custom rom route it's getting...

I disagree with the above statement, since for me it's about the hardware. I couldn't care less about the software that comes with it because the same software can be put on other devices. And overall I'm not very excited about it, since the internals are worse than a phone released in Q12011...

That HTC Edge design doesn't do it for me. I used to like theirs the best but now they just release the same variation over and over. As for specs, doesn't Kal-El have a 5th companion core, which is a downclocked A8 or A9? Still, I agree in that I'd rather have two A15 cores clocked at 2.5ghz...

I almost flipped out until I realized he was talking about the UI. Have Nexus S here and the SQ is mindblowingly good for a portable device, if you buy a good pair of IEMs. I use PowerAMP, and I love how the UI looks. The default Music player with the new UI updates also looks good but it's...
