I dont have the stomach to watch videos like this so please dont link but surely this cant be true. Anyone out there that isn't AK0ta can confirm this?

If these players support h265 and VP9 then I'll end up getting one when the prices drop, perhaps 18 months time. That's definately out of the early adopter window :)

I use three computers in my setup. Computer 1: Main system that I use for games. Switch it off when I'm not using it. Computer 2: Always on with a tv capture card in there. Use this one to automatically record things from tv, downloading stuff and for watching videos/tv when on main...

I guess the more reps they have the quieter it'll be for them, the quieter it is the more chance they'll receive extra training/coaching.

Not sure about the original poster but the antiglare coating puts me right of this one and is the reason I'm waiting for a replacement.

Nothing for Skyrim which is nice to see as well. Massive fan of the series but dont see why a game that needs to be left to mature for 12 months should be rewarded.

Perhaps not readily available worldwide until recently.

PVA out of the question for me after getting the flickering you get which seems particular to this technology (especially with the colour green.) Anyone heard any rumour of Dell/HP releasing a new generation of 30" IPS based monitors? Perhaps a better question would be when is the panel maker...

You lovely lovely person, thanks a lot :)

Benefit just installing OS as you say but this still a lovely benefit :) This been on here a few days now, I guess it was never released.

I remember the device had a screen you could use to chose what ISO file it was going to mount. Personally I'd love to have one of these devices to replace all my opperating system installation cd's. I'm aware you can get more than one on a USB stick and have managed to do this fine (not with...

Hello, A few years ago I remember seeing a device that you plugged into your computer. It would trick your computer into thinking it was a cd/dvd rom plugged in. You could use this device to mount .iso files that were stored on a hard drive or flash memory, remember thinking how cool it...

Yeah this is my problem aswell, leave the X-Com brand for X-Com like games. Imagine how p*ssed folks would be if Doom 4 was made into a turn based strategy game?

Hello folks, As the title says, has anyone seen a Z68 motherboard with 2 x ps/2 ports at all? Noticed there's a few p67 mobo's out there with 2 x ps/2 ports but would ideally be getting the Z68. I am well aware that you can get usb keyboards and mice, that usb to ps/2 adaptors exist and...

Funny you should mention this very thing :) I've now bought a Dell U2410 and I can notice a tint of green on the left and pink on the right on a white screen. This doesn't bother me at all though as it doesn't have the brightness problem. Ofcourse a lot easier to be content when I've got the...

Yes, I'd say it is no better and no worse than previous revisions. Only difference I've noticed so far is the touch sensitive controls are less bad than rev A01/A02.

Well got the new monitor through and no dead/bright pixels at all. Rev 04 this time which is nice, no idea what the difference is though. Unfortunately exactly the same problem when it comes to the brightness issue :( Atleast I know it's the monitor technology type/make now though so I wont...

It's cool to know that more that other peoples 2709w's do this :) To get three monitors in a row doing it would have been very strange indeed. There's one thing that concerns me now, a replacement is being delivered tomoz and I'm sure it's going to have exactly the same problem and there's now...

Thanks that would be great. Remember it only happens when the monitor has warmed up and is particularly noticeable with green :) I think the fact you haven't noticed it at all by now means you don't have this problem though.

When I'm not moving around there's not a problem, everything looks fine. Took that snapshot just to try and better illustrate my point - which parts of that particular picture are effected with the problem. Even if I drag that snapshot of that picture around on the screen it's only really the...

I'll request a new monitor for this monday coming and will let you know how I get on. If I get the same problem this time something very odd is going on.

Fortunately I have two years left on the waranty so can get another swap, the only problem being I might end up with one with dead pixels and the brightness problem :(

It's done this since I've had it. I've tried DVI, VGA and HDMI. I've tried with onboard intel gfx, Nvidia 8800GTS and ATI 4800 and still does the same :( I also get the same effect using an XBox 360.

I have tried both an Nvidia and ATI card and dropped back drivers to older versions on both and it hasn't helped. I have just noticed when I resize this browser window down and drag it around the screen the brightness changes on exactly the same parts as it does in the game. Thanks all for...

I have had the montor for a year now and didn't buy from Dell direct so don't think a refund is an option :( The issue occurs in all games but is particularly noticeable in 3d games which have grass. I also get the same effect in movies. Nice example is the opening of Braveheart flying over...

Here is an example pic below. The parts of the screen that don't move the brightness remains the same regardless of what I do, as does the white snow. If I move forward all the green trees will go a brighter green. The grey sides of the hills surrounding the trees also change brightness but...

Dynamic contrast is definately off. Switching between white and black screen doesn't do it's gradual brightness change that would happen if dynamic contrast was on. Never happens when just looking at normal desktop, only seems to happen with movement and seems to show up with the colour...

Hello, I've had the Dell 2709w for over a year now and am having a problem that no one else seems to have. When something moves on the screen the brightness changes. Take World of warcraft and Oblivion for example. When standing still the grass looks fine, nothing wrong at all. When I...

Cheers for all the replies. I guess I was just being stupid thinking Asus would make a card out of NVidia spec - in saying that, spending £310 on a card gives you every right to be paranoid! :) Few people here have had a good experience with the card which is cool. Three year waranty also...

Looking to upgrade in a couple of weeks and have my heart set on an 8800gts, price is still very high at the moment but my job is terrible and need a little reminder as to why I am there :) I've noticed I can get an Asus Extreme 8800GTS graphics card for £310, this is quite a bit cheaper than...

Been looking to upgrade for a while and this X1950XT 256MB looks just the ticket. I'd prefer a 8800GTS but just can't afford to spend that kind of money atm, currently using a 6800GT which has served me very well. Anyone actually bought this X1950XT card yet and can say how it performs? So...
