    Crazy to go from 120hz to U2312hm?

    Greetings [H], So I'm considering selling off my xl2410t and picking up a u2312hm. I'm tired of the terrible viewing angles. I'm tired of the awful color reproduction. I don't use 3d. I don't play a whole lot of FPS' Above alI, I want picture quality. Would I be crazy to go from a...

    CM Storm Xornet Optical Mouse

    I am currently using the spawn (Which uses a different sensor), but in terms of shape and ergonomics the mouse is fantastic for a claw or fingertip grip (I use a fingertip grip) The Xornet does 500/1000/2000 dpi -- while the Spawn is 800/1800/3500 dpi (again different sensors so I have no idea...

    Mouse with no rubber coating

    Hello Hardforum! Does anyone know of a gaming mouse that has no rubber coating? Apparently I have very corrosive sweat, that tends to eat through the rubber coating on many of the mouses out there. So I'm looking for a wired gaming mouse that has little to no rubber on it... failing that...

    Bookshelf setup questions.

    @ballistic: The TSW210's are going for 60$ for the pair - sounds like a pretty good deal if you've seen them around for 100+ I imagine they aren't magnetically sealed, being an old pair of speakers, right?

    Bookshelf setup questions.

    Well, the M30's cause I've heard they're pretty good sound quality for bucks... I'm open to any suggestions as I really don't know a whole lot of speaker brands. Size is also somewhat of a factor... I need speakers that can fit on a fairly large desk. So some of the larger size bookshelves are...

    Bookshelf setup questions.

    Greetings all! I'm thinking of upgrading my computer audio to some (entry level) bookshelf speakers and I'd like to get some advice on what I need to set up a pair. I'm a total noob when it comes to audiophile stuff so any help will be greatly appreciated. If I were to snag a pair of Polk...

    1080P HDTV as PC monitor question.

    Greetings all! My question is simple: Can a 1080P HDTV display lower than it's native resolution (1920x1080) when used as a PC monitor? Example: Let's say I'm using a 1080p TV as monitor and trying to run a game that is running a little sluggish at 1920x1080. Would I be able to run said...

    Z5500 - Analog, Optical, Onboard confusion.

    Thank you all for sharing your experiences and opinions. I'm leaning towards getting a dedicated sound card as the newest win 7 drivers I can find for my old Audigy 1 are from 2008 and don't seem to work correctly (at least when it comes to gaming) Unless anyone can point me to a more recent...

    Thanks for taking the time to respond you two. Yes, I would be looking for a gaming sound card... so bring on the recommendations :D What exactly is weird about the drivers for the HT Omega Striker 7.1? @BoredSysAdm: Were I to buy a sound card to plug my Z5500 into would I be better off...

    Z5500 - Analog, Optical, Onboard confusion.

    Greetings all you techno savvy people! There is a lot of contradictory info out there regarding the logitech Z5500 5.1 speaker system and I'm hoping some of you might be able to clear some of that up! From what I understand many, if not most people recommend using the analog inputs to connect...

    Well I just bought the XL2410t

    ... and I either lucked out... or the newer firmware really did fix the backlight bleeding. The screen I ended up with has zero backlight bleeding. I really wasn't sure about purchasing this monitor after reading so many negative reviews... In fact, I actually bought the ASUS VG236HE first...

    No right answer...

    Greetings all! Since deciding that it's time to upgrade my monitor (deciding meaning my tv/monitor crapped out on me) I've read countless amounts of threads regarding ccfl's, LED's, IPS', 120hrz and so on and the more I read and research the harder it seems to make the right choice... For...
