    Anyone see the Oculus Rift demo from CES?

    I am very excited for the technology. I know VR has its shortcomings, but this is the best attempt by an enthusiast/hacker type to develop the tech for his crowd. Yes, the resolution is relatively low to desktops. Yes, the game support and user interfaces are not developed. But, the FOV...

    ASUS PB278Q 1440p IPS (PLS Panel)

    Thanks for the feedback. I have to play at 1080p on my dell u2711 because the displayport is acting up. It isn't horrible, and I am getting used to it. I miss 1440p. Sounds like I should purchase 3 of the PB278Q.

    ASUS PB278Q 1440p IPS (PLS Panel)

    Can you switch the resolution to 1920x1080 and tell me if it introduces addition lag, or poor image quality compared to native 1080p monitors. I would really like to know if non-native 1080p gaming looks reasonable. Please throw me a bone and give any anecdotal or subjective testing on this...

    ASUS PB278Q 1440p IPS (PLS Panel)

    +1 I was considering getting 3 of the PB278Q and some games may need to be at 5760x1080 vs the native 7680x1440. CPU and GPU horsepower may take another generation to smoothly run the higher resolution in some games. I need to replace my monitor. The single Dell u2711 that I have has a hard...

    Corsair HS1 USB Gaming Headset Review @ [H]

    I purchased the HS1's two days ago and find them to sound quite well. They are my first full sized headphones, so my review can't be too in depth. I am very pleased with the comfort and sound. After slightly adjusting the EQ, I am pleased to have found a setting more to my liking. Another...

    Dell U2711

    Its probably been posted, but there is a close up of how the u2711 scales text to 1920x1080. Its more than 3/4 the way down the page. http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/dell_u2711.htm

    Dell U2711

    Just ordered mine today, new, and through eBay for $833.99 and that includes shipping and a $20 pixel/tint check that I have requested. I too was interested in the quality of the scaler and wanted pictures. Hopefully I can take some pics with a tripod when I receive it. What resolutions...
