    monitor will not light up when computer booted

    Just wanted to follow up and let viewers know what the outcome was. Since opinions varied as to whether I had a monitor, mother board or video card problem I took the computer to Micro Center and they reported that the memory module of the video card had failed. So I replaced it with the EGVA...

    Need help to find video capture card/device

    I recently bought a new system running Vista Ultimate 32. I was planning to digitize a bunch of old analog video tapes and archive onto DVDs. I assumed it would be easy to find a video capture card or external USB capture device that would convert analog to digital. Not so. All that I have...

    LG 24" or NEC 24" Poll

    My choices were the Dell, LG and the NEC 2470. I went w/the NEC and am glad I did. I can't say I have the sharpest eyes but color and crispness of details are amazing. Scaling of resolutions other than 1900x1200 are perfect, no distortion. I have had the monitor for a couple of weeks and have...

    A guide to understanding wide gamut displays

    Help me Rembrandt. I was following the earlier thread titled "92% Gamut Hype?" in which you were a strong contributor. My conclusion after reading all the posts was that wide gamut can produce better color (whatever that means) but that since the vast majority of monitor users/program publishers...

    92% Gamut Hype?

    I realize I'm drifting off topic for which I apologize but the contributors seem to know what they are talking about and so I ask the question: High gamut may not serve a useful purpose for the average pc user but in the case of HD television would high gamut LCD panels provide better color...

    NEC LCD2470WNX

    I just got my NEC 2470 Tuesday. Haven't tried to put it thru any rigorous testing just having fun w/it right now. This is my first LCD monitor so I don't have a sense of comparison but my amateur impression is that I got the right monitor. Images are pleasing, richly colored. I haven't even...

    NEC LCD2470WNX

    Hey senakun, I need more info. When I read your complaint about the NEC "twinkle" I was surprised b/c it was the first serious negative comment about the 2470. I looked back over the prior replies and found yours from 5/11 stating you had a whole row of bad pixels and you were sending the NEC...

    NEC LCD2470WNX

    The 2470WNX sounds like a terrific monitor based on the few new users making comments. However, I haven't seen anyone speak to whether it works well with fast FPS games. Anyone have knowledge of that? Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

    Dell 24'' Monitor

    The 2407WFP-HC is just released? Yikes. I have been haunting the Dell site watching for the release so I can get my order in. I still haven't seen it appear. Tell me where I need to go to find it. Thanks,

    Official Dell 2407WFP Thread - Reviews, Revisions, Screenies

    Re your question about price IMHO I expect the 2407HC price to be in the $800 to $900 range. Dell initially priced their 2707HC at $1300 (reduced since then) which everyone thought excessive and I suspect Dell will do it again w/the 2407HC. They will skim the market for a month or two and then...

    Dell 2407WFP Rev A04 Spotted.

    Thanks for the info. I'm really eager to know about the Dell 2407HC. Would you pls start a new thread when you know more. I think lots of people would be very interested and it would be a shame to bury such important info deep in a different titled thread. Many thanks,

    Dell's sale on the 2407WFP

    Sorry guys but this isn't my coupon to use or share, it is my friend's. I don't know whether he sent it to me to use or just let me know about the sale but either way I wouldn't use it myself. I would get in touch w/Dell and find a way to get them to send me the coupon. So give Dell a shot...

    Dell's sale on the 2407WFP

    The coupon is available to all Dell e-mail subscribers. I don't have the coupon, it was sent to me by a subscriber so don't know how easy it is to sign up and get the Dell coupon. Price is good until 4/25. It's actually a 20% off sale on their 20, 24 and 27 inch LCDs. Have fun.

    Question re 24" WP panels for LG and BenQ

    The LG L245WP, distributed in Europe, uses the PMVA AOU panel model M24OUW01 V0 which is the same panel as used in the BenQ FP241W. Does anyone know if the LG L246WP, the USA model, has the same panel as the L245WP or is it the newer AMVA AOU panel model M24OUW01 V2 which is used in the BenQ...

    Re KatirZan's solution, I ran the attrib command as described which cleared the readonly and archive attributes from directories but it did not open up access to the documents and settings folder.

    Need advice on external HD enclosure

    Thanks for such a prompt reply. I'm not familiar w/laptops. I figure most of the hardware components are proprietary design items unique to each brand. When I pull the HD to install it in an enclosure will that HD have a standard pin configuration for data and power that will conform to the...

    Retrofit Lightscribe

    I recently bought the Sony DRX810UL which is an external DL DVD burner. I am pleased with it but have been reading about the Lightscribe technology offered by HP. LS sounds like something I could use in a project that I'm working on. Does anyone know whether LS is a software feature that could...
