Oh I see. haha Well I was just curious. Thanks guys. @ imyourzero haha I guess your right. I was just taken aback that its only been 2 or so years since I looked at computer monitors and now they already have 120hz AND 3D; like I said, its been awhile! Its sort of a bummer that 3D PC...

So I was browsing the CompUSA website and I came across this monitor. It has 3D capability AND 120hz? That sounds crazy to me. I wouldnt expect a monitor to have both . :confused: I havn't looked at monitors in a long time as I currently have a 32'' Bravia set, but the fact that this has 3D...

I feel ya! Yeah this sounds awesome! Been waiting for something portable to be able to decode HD youtube, Hulu, 360, and such! The most I'd be willing to pay is $300, but thats just me. Ten hours sounds too good to be true! As you can tell by the exclamation marks, Im hella excited for something...

I'm not interested in 1080p playback, but can the single core ones play YouTube HD or HQ vids?

Thanks for inputs guys.I went to BB today and came across this: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9382535&type=product&id=1218095770804 It claims to have a 7 hour battery life. Im not 100% sure I'm going to buy a laptop/notebook/netbook/whatever, any time soon though. What can you...

I would consider that Acer, but it seems to be worse (specs wise) against other netbooks. I really doubt it can play youtube HD. I never knew that HP/Dell had shops; gonna look into this. I would be all over a netbook if it could play youtube HD or Hulu HD without stuttering, trust me! Would Ion...

I do have a MicroCenter nearby! Oddly though I've never been there lol. Decided to go to their website and they dont have anything in my price range under $500 that meets my requirements. I think I'm going to put this laptop/notebook on hold for now. Maybe I'll get lucky and find a decent...

Its not that my folks think Dell is sketchy; its the thought of using online to purchase things. Any thing not crappy at retail? One

Its not that I have a phobia or something for buying things online, its that I cant; my folks think its really sketchy and I can't really do anything about it. It sucks, believe me I know but I gotta make do with what my options are. Wow that Dell looks sleek! A little more than what my...

Hey guys, I'm in the market for a small portable laptop thats going to be mainly used for school work and some light gaming (think Doom II, Diablo I and II etc). Here are some of my requisites. I'd like to have a resolution of 1366*768, but 1280*800 will suffice. I'm not terribly picky on...

Ahh thanks.

Which model can play Youtube HD and Hulu etc? Is it out yet?

Early bump?

Hey guys, I know these threads keep popping up, but I need help. :rolleyes: *Before I start, wouldn't it be better if there was a thread specifically for these types of questions? Just a thought. Anyways I'm looking for a laptop sub 500 that needs to be at a retail store like Best Buy...

Sounds good to me; thanks for clearing that up. I saw a vid on the Lenovo and COD4 was playing. It ran pretty smoothly. Granted I dont really game on PC, but its just a heads up for those that do. Supposedly these newer netbooks can play current games well.

The ones I mentioned have a high res. The Samsung N510 is 11.6'' with a res of 1366 x 768 while the Lenovo S12 has a res of 1280 x 800 on a 12'' screen (something along those lines). I'm on the fence though, between these newer models or a laptop. Is the nVidia Ion better than whats found on...

I'm in the same boat. When I found out that HD videos didnt work on most netbooks, I was left to wait. I know netbooks arent/werent made to be usedheavily for multimedia purposes like HD Youtube, Hulu, etc, but it would be nice to have that availability. Sorry for jacking your thread, but I...

Thats what I did. I got myself an IS and bought the red and black silicone case. I was worried about lint, but really I dont get that much at all. I was also looking at the Wave Case. But an iPod Touch with an IS can't fit into one of those, plus those tend to scratch the back of the iPod...

Theres a same thread over at AVS Forum. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1156808 and another one specifically for the 2333HD; http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1092250 Its got some pretty good feedback albeit its a very short thread. So far the "problem" with the...

That helped a lot Odin! Thanks again bro. I knew some of the audio stuff, but Im way far from knowledgable in that are. lol You cleared up what I get confused with from reading around here and other forums. One2The3

Alright thanks guys! I'm gonna try out both ways just to see which one I prefer. I doubt the hiss will bother me, but you never know. Once again thanks for all the help! One2The3

Yep I was gonna say that but Odin beat me to it. :) RCA = CD quality where Headphone Jack = ...better than CD?

Alright guys thanks for answers. I'm probably gonna use the headphone jack as I'm not incredibly picky about aesthetics as long as its for a purpose ie sound. What I meant by connecting by RCA was using HDMI to get picture, but using the composite (or component) cables the PS3 came with and...

Thanks a lot Thor and leetpyro! Quick question though. I was on CompUSAs website and looked up the Sammy, and its got an HDMI/PC/DVI-D Audio In and like you mentioned the Digital Audio Out; How come I can't use the HDMI etc. Audio in? Another question (bear with me lol); Is there a loss in audio...

So I would be able to connect the speakers like you said and forget about the adapter completely? This would output sound for my PS3? The PS3 has the option of either outputting digital sound or like I listed above in the example.

As you can probably imply from the title I'm looking to connect the Logitechs to get sound from the PS3 and Monitor (is that right?). The Samsung has speakers so I'm guessing I can output audio from the monitor while using the Logitechs. The Logitechs do come with an adapter to connect the PS3...

I'll try to give my two cents and hopefully answer your questions. I've got a 32'' Sony Bravia; its an HDTV, not a computer monitor like say a Samsung T240HD. It is 1080p and works perfectly with PS3 Games (Same with 360), and Wii is outputted to its correct aspect ratio with no distortion. It...

Arms reach from a 32''? For me thats about 3 feet and a little more! Isn't that hard on your eyes? I mean when I had my 32'' like that, I could not stand it causing me switch out for a monitor instead. It was great for awhile, but man when my eyes started to strain, I switched out as fast as I...

Hahahah :D Nice way to put it.

You can take the composite cable that came with the PS3, plug it into the PS3 and connect the red and white ends to some speakers; all the while the HDMI is connected. As mentioned, change the audio output on the PS3 menu.

Thanks PgHammer for reenforcing my thoughts on buying either set. Yeah I know BB doesn't carry the X variant, but I checked out CompUSA's website and it's there. I'm thinkin I could visit today to see if they have it (also have the H variant) and come to a decision. Thats the one of the things I...

Thanks Nighted. I could care less about aesthetics as long as it retains image quality. I've got some speakers anyhow too! Think I'll pull the trigger on the X233H sometime soon and hopefully report back. Thanks, One2The3

Anybody know the main differences between the Acer X233H 23" and the H233H bmid? I'm guessing its just the speakers, but is the quality the same? Thanks, One2The3

I hate to admit it. But you guys are right. Yeah I did screw up by making a post like that. Its just from personal experience though of buying "the other brand"; which shouldn't hold back anyone else. :rolleyes: Anyways, I say take your time researching whats best for your situation. Sorry for...

I wasnt trying to persuad the OP to screw over Vizio entirely bro. I was giving him a really good point of view on it; you buy what you get I'd say. For a starting HD tv it should be fine, unless you are considering a monitor by any chance.

Heres that post I was talkin about. http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=ps3&thread.id=3548551&view=by_date_ascending&page=18 But yeah as mentioned you should check out AVS forums for help on tvs moreso than monitors.

What is your budget? I'm guessing $400 is your max? Stay away from Vizio's; yes they are decent tvs, great for your first high def television, but the thing is they really are 'cheap'. I wish I could find the post in a Post your PS3 setup at Playstation.com, but this dude stated to the point how...

Got a question to anyone; Would this Hannspree be the same, minus the 2ms of its big brother, from Best Buy? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9218777&type=product&id=1218061081819 Deciding between this set or the Acer H233H. Thanks, One2The3

I was going to go for this Sammy too, but the thing that turned me off was Samsung's "Game Mode" doesn't allow you to configure color settings or anything for the set. I went for the Sony XBR6; its about $800 so its $200 cheaper than your range. That Samsung, from what I read over at AVS, has...

Is there a headphone out (dunno exactly what its called) to listen through headphones on this monitor? Also how are colors? I've heard good, but I won't be using it for PC at all; just PS3. I've heard of SpiderPro (something like that lol pretty vague today) for color calibration. Would that...
