Just an fyi... I just happened to open the LG software today and it indicated there was a firmware update. It upgraded my firmware from 3.20 (what my monitor came with) to 3.26. I didn't notice any obvious differences but I didn't look really hard. If I had to say anything I would say it's...

The HDMI cable and the Displayport cable that ship with the 43UD79-B (at least the U.S. version) are approximately 6 feet (1.83m) long. I measured the HDMI cable, now I have to try to reconnect it (anyone else find it's a pain to connect these without being directly behind the monitor?). I was...

Did you install the LG software and connect your monitor via the usb-c port to your computer to check the firmware it is on? I think 3.20 is the latest. Anyway, at least up until now, I haven't had a problem with the screen blanking out, I'm hoping it was fixed in a firmware update.

Thanks for mentioning that Costco has this on sale for $500. I just received mine from Costco on February 26th. Prior to this new sale they had it on sale for $549.99. Costco.com has a 30 day price match policy so I can get a credit for the difference in price. I would have likely not...

My main display/pc uses the displayport. I have a couple other computers hooked up through the HDMI ports. HDMI 1 and 3 is what I've tried so far. Using my photoshop ruler, I figured out the large PIP screen measures 1920x1080 pixels. The medium screen is 1366x768 pixels and the small...

I've had this monitor for about a week now. It's taken some getting used to but I don't think I could go back to my 27" WQHD at this point. Anyway, anyone have any tips on using the PiP feature? I can get it to work, but no matter what I do I can't get clean resolution out of the smaller...

In my occasional free time I enjoy browsing this forum. I don't post very frequently but Idefinitely enjoy reading about a lot of the topics on this forum. The one thing that has always bothered me is the default display options on a lot of the forums is only one day, which I thought could be...

I upgraded from an 1100T to an 8350 and noticed a big difference with encoding in Handbrake (at least the difference of having 2 extra cores). I don't overclock so this was strictly comparing standard specs. Handbrake is the most cpu intensive task I run regularly, I don't play a lot of...

I don't think it's a coincidence that the third party price has gone up quite a bit recently and Dell's website has been showing that it won't ship until the 2nd week of March. Today it's saying one to two weeks so it's most likely that the monitor stock was simply in short supply recently...

That review seems to be a copy of the review from MacWorld.co.uk that was mentioned in the other NEC EA244WMI thread we have going on here. I'm likely to bite the bullet on this monitor this weekend based on that review, but I wish I had some more information to go on...someone has to be the...

This monitor is slowly starting to appear online for sale. I think I found what might be the first real review of the monitor, although it's barely more then what's in the marketing brief: http://www.macworld.co.uk/digitallifestyle/reviews/?reviewid=3425752 Also, in the Any semi-gloss 24" IPS...

Anyone ordered this monitor from Dell lately? I've been checking their website and it looks like they're out of stock and estimated arrival is in March. I know if I call Dell I can probably get a good deal on this monitor. Does it make sense to order directly from them as opposed to other...

MaximumPC reported on a new monitor from NEC that I didn't see any mention of in the forum. Here's a snippet from the NEC website: Here is the Maximum PC mention. As the MSRP is expected to be about US $349 according to MaximumPC, it would seem to be in direct competition with Dell's...

Interest in this review has kicked up a bit since another thread was recently created about it and the review was mentioned in another thread getting some responses. I just thought I'd bump this thread back up since the review was pretty well dissected here already. My own take is that I hope...

This is a duplicate thread. This exact review was already discussed in detail previously here. Anyway, the non-trolling consensus seemed to be that this review may not be completely legit as the Trinity APU showed more promise with basic piledriver cores while supposedly the desktop piledriver...

I thought of that. It's a fairly solid flat desk. I've had my 19" Sony Trinitron on it for the last 6 years and of course that didn't budge because it was so heavy. It seems that purposely shaking the desk yields nothing visible on the desk itself moving but the kinetic energy is amplified...

THAT EXPLAINS IT. I was noticing the left side seemed a little dark but upon looking more closely it seemed to go away. I'm glad this was mentioned so I won't be so paranoid now. Is there anything that can be done about the wobble of the monitor? I'm guessing that's probably the caveat of...

Based on the information on this forum I ordered my monitor from Christa on Monday. I was told it would ship by the 7th but it shipped the next day and I received it on the 7th. If it means anything, my model is an A01 manufactured December 2009 in Mexico. This was an upgrade from a 9...

This thread kinda fizzled out. There seems to be a much more livelier discussion, including more information about the F2a beta bios, bios corruption issues, overclocking problems here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=200053

I mentioned memory problems in the "megathread" that was started for this board, but thought I'd mention it in the review section. Anyone have this board working well in 1066 memory mode? I have some OCZ memory which is rated for 1066 that I consistently get errors with in memtest+. It...

I wasn't sure what the best forum would be to post this so I thought the overclocking forum was the closest considering all the benchmark references. I have a new machine that I built running Windows XP SP3 (32-bit version) with all the updates. For some reason Sisoft Sandra will not start...

Thanks for the review link gigaxtreme1. Anyway, where is the official BIOS update for this board? Anandtech had that beta bios dated from early August. It's now nearly September, it seems like a good new stable BIOS should be out soon.

Thanks for the reply. I understand that it's better to install the OS with the drivers in the first place, I was curious if non-os drives are ok being used without being reformatted. From everything I've seen that seems to not be a problem. I googled and found a fairly decent article on...

I have a question that perhaps could be answered by googling, but thought it was worthy of this thread. Does switching from IDE mode to AHCI mode affect the existing content of the drive? The IDE mode/AHCI mode is just how the OS interacts with the drive, it doesn't require reformatting the...

Anandtech has a followup to their article from last week with some updates on the 790gx: http://www.anandtech.com/weblog/showpost.aspx?i=476 The main reason for posting this article is that it includes an updated beta bios for this board. (Please read their disclaimer before attempting to...

Yes, the memtest86+ seems to be what the software I've been using "memtest86" is based on but is much better updated and maintained, I'll stick with this from now on. It detected the CPU and memory timing exactly correct. I'll run a pass with that at DDR800 and then test it at 1066. I did...

I've always used memtest86 (www.memtest86.com) since you can boot right into it. 3.4 is the latest version but it does not seem to recognize the chipset or cpu correctly. Anyway, I tuned the memory down to run at 800 last night and re-ran my testing with Memtest86 3.4. So far over night...

I ordered this board on later afternoon Monday but didn't receive it until Friday. I ordered parts for an entire new system including a Phenom 9950 and 4GB (2gbx2) OCZ Platinum 1066 memory. After getting the system built I didn't even install a hard drive and am testing the system with...

I wonder if we should start a dedicated thread for the GA-MA790GP-DS4H board? Your post was very enlightening and I'm sure we could come up with a lot of other good information once we start pooling resources. I have a Phenom 9950 (big upgrade from my Socket 939 4400+) but with only 2GBx2 of...

I think it kinda sucks that the other 790gx boards showed up with free shipping, but otherwise I don't mind paying more for the Gigabyte board. From everything I read about the 780g boards, they made the best. The Gigabyte board has one additional PCI-E x1 socket, this is the most obvious...

I pulled the trigger on the Gigabyte board from Newegg. This is the one that I was seriously looking at anyway based on all the pre-release boards from Computex. Well if Newegg has two boards in stock for sale this sounds like it's going to turn into another HD4870 situation where AMD just...

According to this French article, the 790gx boards are scheduled to be released August 6th: http://www.pcinpact.com/actu/news/45119-AMD-790GX-SidePort-Phenom-HD-3300.htm The reason for the non-existant coverage of 790gx is due to an NDA. There is also corroboration that the release is...
