I have a Logitech G502 Lightspeed that's wireless on my powerplay mat. The one thing I hate about it is whenever it comes out of sleep the resolution is always set to horribly low and it takes a few seconds to kick back into the right settings. As a result, I find myself constantly having to...

I have a dual monitor setup and I'm going a bit batty trying to resolve the symptom I'm seeing. My "main" monitor is an ultrawide (LG 34GP83A-B) and to its left is my side-monitor (AOC AGON AG271QX). I just installed Windows 11 and trying to adapt. Here's what I'd LIKE to have: -LG is seen...

I've been using sound cards longer than pretty much anyone posting here going back way before even the Ad-Lib cards of 1987. However, I've grown a bit tired of a few challenges I'd like to meet: 1. I'd like something that's easier to work with on my desktop. 2. I'd like something that can...

I just got a brand new LG 34" ultra wide and the DP cable it came with is just 6', but works great. The several other DP cables I have all result in flicker on the monitor. Can someone recommend a sure-fire DP cable that's 10' long that will drive this monitor without concern for drop-outs and...

Just got started with this combo. Had the mouse going for three days first as the pad was delayed in shipping, but now they're humming along. I had considered the Corsair offering, but liked the feel of this mouse much better (my son owns the G900 so I had something to try for a bit)...

I have a venerable HP w2408h 24" widescreen TFT monitor that's been the main monitor on my system for many years now. This morning it powered on with a green vertical bar that's coming from the monitor and not the video card (thankfully). Unfortunately I'm strapped for cash at the moment and...

I just don't get it. I own a 1070 that's working fine for me. Solid card. I also have three devices plugged into it: 1. My main display (an aging 27" HP). 2. A Sony Projector that drives my home theater and that turns on and off throughout the day/week. 3. An even older Acer 22" display. In...

I have a fairly new install of Windows 10 after a full system upgrade (mb, ram, cpu) and now the system refuses to pay attention to my power settings so my monitor never turns off. If I boot into Safe mode it turns off after 1 minute which is exactly what I have set (If I get this working...

I own a GTX 1070 (Gigabyte) and recently changed my motherboard/processor/ram. Prior to that upgrade I had things more or less working as I wanted. I have an average 27" HP monitor that connects to the card using an HDMI to DisplayPort adapter (DisplayPort side goes to the card). I also have...

I was deciding between several mb's when this option went on a major sale. I like what I see so far. However, I have one odd, nagging problem. I installed Windows 10 Pro over a previous install and (which went okay), but then decided I really wanted a clean install and UEFI support (which I...

My ancient but enjoyable Creative/Cambridge GigaWorks S750 system is on the fritz. I can get it worked on but it's getting to the point where it's not going to get much better. It's the old 7-speaker setup (which still work great and sound perfectly fine -- except for the dead control unit...

I have a GTX 770 (works great for my needs) and it's hooked up to two standard PC monitors using both typical connectors. I also now have the HDMI out connected to my 70" TV. My PC sees it as a third monitor which is quite nice. Now I'd like to find a way to get it's audio passed to the TV...

I currently have an HP w2408h that I really, really enjoy. However, it's getting old now and thinking of replacing it. 24" size is fine. This one is 1920x1200 and I suspect I'd like to keep that resolution unless someone has an idea on why I should change. I also love the stand as it's...

Planning on getting an i5 4670K and putting that on an ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO DDR3 2800 LGA 1150 Motherboard. The main use is for X-Plane, some streaming to a Roku and general PC use (browsing, Office, etc.) X-Plane likes memory of course. My budget is between $150 and $185 for RAM. I'd like...

Guys, I'm about to do a system rebuild and want to add a new video card but don't need it to be cutting edge. I prefer AMD over Nvidia (PM me if you want to tell me why I'm nuts but I went that way twice and back to AMD twice). So then it comes down to about a billion R9's and R7's. I've...

I have an Antec 1000 watt TruePower Quattro power supply. The fan in it died. I'm somewhat handy and have an EE background (I can solder and know all about the danger of capacitors) so I took apart the supply (out of warranty now anyway) and it has an 80mm 2-pin fan. I'm finding this nearly...

Guys, I hope someone there can point me in the right direction and pronto. I got a 240GB Intel SSD. I was transferring a 300GB Velociraptor (which I shrunk). It worked. However, once it came time to swap, nothing worked. BOOTMGR Is Missing is my only info. The partitions...

I have a new Intel 240GB 520 showing up today and it's going to take over for a WD Velociraptor that was holding my C drive (Win7). I'm looking at a few of options for migration: 1. Use the Intel Data Migration Tool from Acronis. This will require me (as I understand it) to shrinking my...

Guys, any advice or links would be greatly appreciated with this. I own a D-Link DIR-655 that's been solid as a rock for us and I'm on a FiOS 25/25 plan. However, suddenly I'm getting what feels like lousy performance. If I go to a speed benchmarking site everything looks just fine. 25/25...

Guys, I used to use No-IP for my dynamic DNS needs but lately that's got two issues that bug me: 1. It uses a client on my PC which just seems unnecessary; 2. Now it's become MAJOR nag-ware. So I realized my D-Link DIR-655 router supports client-free Dynamic DNS and I got it running...

Okay, so this one's been driving me insane and I just don't get it. I've had FiOS for about 2 years now. Been through a few ActionTec routers. A few months back I had them switch the ONT over to Ethernet mode and now have the ActionTec set up as an IP (192.168.1.2) behind my own D-Link...

A friend is looking to get a new printer that works with her iPad (which supports something called AirPrint). I've convinced her it was time to dump ink jets as she spends a small fortune on ink while printing about as infrequently as I do while I haven't paid for replacement toner in over a...

I have a P180 case. I love the case as I'm not into all the modding and just like a nice quiet durable case. The P180 fans are: - 1 rear (standard) 120mm TriCool Fan with 3-speed switch control - 1 top (standard) 120mm TriCool Fan - 1 lower chamber (standard) 120mm x 38mm (thick) TriCool...

Guys, Been a while since I've bothered upgrading my PC. The current system has been rock-solid and is now running on Windows 7 64-bit as will the new setup. The idea with the new one is that, while I'm a gamer I'm now 46 so I'm not all that concerned as I was about getting every ounce of...

Just in case someone here has seen this: I just got my HP w2408h and really, really like it. The one oddity I've been dealing with is that certain games, when I exit them, change my desktop wallpaper setting from "Stretch" to "Center" for some reason. I have no idea why and nothing I...

I've had my new monitor for about a week. I got it from Amazon. I actually had an old DVI-HDMI cable lying around and it worked great even though I didn't think it would. However, I'd already ordered a cable from Monoprice and it was longer (which was needed) so it all worked out. The first...

If I end up with an HDMI monitor I need to get from my Nvidia 8800 DVI to an HDMI. Which type of DVI do I need? I was on Pacific Cable (great prices for cable) and they don't seem to have DVI-I to HDMI cables which made me think that's not right. I believe I need: DVI-D Male to HDMI...

First I had my eye on a Samsung but then read all the trouble about the panel lottery. I then had my eye on an HP 2408 which I think would fit me just fine except the price was a bit high. I then got excited because I read about the HP 2408h which seemed to be the same monitor but slightly...

After some time looking around and based on my needs and desires I focused my attention on the HP 2408h. Both the 2408 and 2408h got decent reviews and even more impressive is that the 2408h started out at $100 less (at $499) than the 2408 (at $599) so I figured I had a better shot of getting it...

Okay, I currently am using a Viewsonic VP191b LCD. It's 8ms refresh 4:3 and will only be used on my PC to do daily work and play games. I watch movies and such on a serious home theater setup. The Viewsonic has been very good for me. The colors seem fine and the 6-bit dithering doesn't bug...
