    Achieva Shimian QH270| $400 IPS 2560x1440 Korean Monitor

    What's up with people touting glossy as something amazing? The reflections on this get quite distracting and annoying, especially if you want to watch anything on it. I have a BenQ FP241W with anti-reflective coating and I don't notice any sort of 'grain'. Kind of confused here.

    While your statement is true, the newer components are, in fact, cheaper. Nowhere anywhere did I say they advertised above 60hz. I simply said they are now using cheaper components; which is the truth.

    Most people are going to be, especially when they receive their monitor to find out the manufacturer is now using cheap components instead. Also, yes, he is right, it is unprecedented. In any case, my Catleap is going back for replacement soon.

    Yeah I don't have the tempered glass version. It does look a little like dust. Not much I can do about it. Even if it was and I opened it up, I'd probably end up getting more dust in it, don't really have access to a Class 3 clean room. :P

    Using an old monitor as a media center?

    Hello everyone, not sure if this is the right place but, I am trying to think of a way to turn my old monitor into a sort of media center for some of my devices. Basically the big thing is looking to hook my monitor for cable TV, however it does not have any coaxial input. First let me...

    Ordered from Green-Sum. Packaging was well done. However that's where the good things end. 1) Opened it up to find WATER INSIDE THE MONITOR PACKAGING. 2) The Stand tilts, but I understand this is normal for all Catleaps. 3) Got 4 dead pixels stacked next to each other. Deal was too...

    Wasn't looking for a new one but... 2560x1440, IPS, possibility of up to 97 hz, $375, low input lag... when similar models are 2-3x the cost in the USA. Um... yeah, pulled the trigger on the Catleap, way too good to pass up. I'll try to do a comparison between this and my BenQ FP241W (P-MVA)...

    HDCP Support at all? So because this doesn't have a scaler, I wouldn't be able to play a game in 1080p or an older game in a lower resolution other than the 1440p one? Is this correct?

    On-screen volume display how-to.

    Came across this recently. Worked, except the on screen display doesn't work in full screen games. Anyone got a recommendation one that does?

    So... X25-M or Vertex.

    Is fragmentation the reason performance degrades over time on all SSD drives? Or is this something separate?

    So... X25-M or Vertex.

    I have been debating on which of these drives to go with and with every new review I see, I change my mind about which drive to choose. So what it comes down to at the moment seems to be: Vertex: 120GB, less expensive per GB, writes advertised as up to 180 MB/s (however this seems to only be...

    stuck/dead red pixel

    Don't hold your breath. I did 3 RMA's and it took me all of them to get one where the stuck pixels weren't in the center of the screen. The one I have now is about a CM away from the right and is unnoticeable unless on a dark blue background.

    Show Your LCD(s) setups!!!

    Thanks Background: http://nuahs.deviantart.com/art/FIR-74743544 EDIT: He also has other variations of this wallpaper. Lol, I don't use the blue stuff, I think it belonged to someone else at some point in time. I found it a while ago and have been too lazy to throw it away.

    Well here is the picture of my desk: My computer desk doubles as my room desk, so ignore all of my crap on it. :P Here is a picture of the monitor (BenQ FP241W) more close up:

    Dell 3008WFP vs Gateway XHD3000

    It comes down to: Gateway: Monitor blanking out for a second randomly, occasionally. Dell: Severe backlight bleeding issues. Both have issues no $1400+ monitor should have.
