    Help needed in building a new system

    Thanks for the input. If I want to play the recent crop of games (MW3, Skyrim, etc) at 1080p with max settings, would the GTX560 suffice or do I need to go higher? Do I need to do SLI? Looking at benchmarks online, I seemed to get the impression I would need a GTX580 or HD6970. But I could...

    Thanks for the reply. 1. Am I looking at much advantage getting an i7 2600K or 3930K vs the i5 mentioned? 2. I'd like to do HD (1080p) gaming with regards to the current crop of games (MW3, Skyrim, etc). Which card is best? 3. If I decide to go down the SLI path, is 850W enough or...

    Which card to get?

    Hey everyone, I'm looking at upgrading my PC, and so I'm asking the age old question "Which card(s) would be best suitable for me?". I'd like to be able to run all the latest games (stuff like Batman, Skyrim, MW3, etc.) in 1920x1200. Preferably with all the effects turned on, at max. Any...

    Official BenQ FP241W Thread !!! Info, Pictures, Reviews

    Well, I just got my FP241W. It's amazing to have a widescreen LCD at home after using a square CRT for years. Are there any "test" programs or calibration sheets I could use to see if a) I have absolutely no bright, dark, dead pixel issues b) the colors look right c) the picture is spot...

    Official BenQ FP241W Thread !!! Info, Pictures, Reviews

    Man, 10e, you know your stuff. Seeing how the LCD televisions have increased in size over the years and moved towards HD and full HD (at least that's what they call them down here in Oz), I've always thought that the manufacturers had to be using better panels to have improved response times...

    Official BenQ FP241W Thread !!! Info, Pictures, Reviews

    It's a pity the manufacturers are doing that. They are giving the impression that what they're bringing out is newer tech, when in actual fact, it isn't. Wouldn't the price of IPS and MVA panels start to come down if they just made and sold more of them? What happens in the LCD television...

    Official BenQ FP241W Thread !!! Info, Pictures, Reviews

    Thanks, 10e, you're a wealth of information. Any ideas why Samsung and Benq (I guess they're not alone in this) are bringing out new TN models instead of newer IPS or MVA panels? Isn't that sort of going backwards a bit? It seems the only advantage with TN are the response times (plus the...

    Official BenQ FP241W Thread !!! Info, Pictures, Reviews

    Thanks again, 10e. Got a general question in regards to some of the new displays (I'm assuming they're new displays) that Samsung and Benq have brought out. Namely the V2400W and the 2493HM respectively. My understanding is that TN displays aren't as good as MVA displays when it comes to...

    For the people who have the FP241W, what's it like with gaming? Any ghosting? Any input lag issues? How's it with movies? Cheers X

    Official BenQ FP241W Thread !!! Info, Pictures, Reviews

    Thanks, 10e. I'm in Melbourne, Australia and I can only seem to find the FP241W advertised anywhere. Pricey unit, though! Does anyone know the best place to pick it up from? Some more questions. - I remember reading how some people had the black out problem and found issues with the...
