    LG 48CX

    Yeah I feel like a complete idiot about it. I have the 5 year BB standard warranty to cover burn-in, but obviously I would like to avoid having to use it later on down the road. I'm also within my 45 day return window (pro elite plus account or whatever with BB), so I'm weighing the risk of...

    LG 48CX

    Oof, so I got my brand new 48" LG CX and promptly tipped it over on my desk during setup. My GF's thumb and a power cable seem to have broken its fall. Pure negligence, but.. the panel appears to be undamaged. In fact, it's perfect. Zero dead pixels, no banding, etc. I've been using it for the...

    Obscure games that you loved

    Not sure if this first one is really all that obscure, but.. MDK by Shiny Entertainment (PC, PSX 1997) It's a third person action shooter with each level starting out with the main character (Kurt) skydiving from low earth orbit onto gigantic alien bulldozers crawling across the Earth. He...

    Review the game you finished recently.

    I'm gonna do three games since I've just finished them all in pretty rapid succession. Assassin's Creed III (PS3, PC) I'd picked up and tried to play this one a few times since its release, but never finished it until very recently. I experienced constant bugs on both the PS3 and PC versions...

    Acer Predator XB271HU - 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB 144hz

    Yeah, that's my account on OC.net. The overall quality is substantially better than the XB270HU's I tried before giving up. That said, it's one sample, so who knows.

    Acer Predator XB271HU - 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB 144hz

    I've been using mine for a couple days and it's honestly the best of the G-Sync 1440P monitors I've used. Zero dead/stuck pixels, no dust, perfect uniformity, solid build quality, only a couple very small, very faint bleed spots, and only one spot (bottom right) with noticeable glow. Also, you...

    ASUS PG279Q 144hz 1440P IPS G-Sync

    I replaced two XB270HU's and got one refund from Amazon no issues at all. I just filled out the replace/refund form online, submitted, printed my return shipping label, and shipped them back. Should also note that I have Prime, but not sure if that effects any kind of flagging mechanism Amazon...

    Official Acer [XB270HU] 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB Monitor Thread

    Out of curiosity, those of you lucky enough to get issue-free (or close to it) panels, from where did you order yours? I noticed some patterns between Newegg and Amazon. Both panels I ordered from Newegg had either dead pixels and/or dust behind the screen and a small amount of back light...

    Official Acer [XB270HU] 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB Monitor Thread

    Sending back panel number five to Amazon today, this time for a refund. I'm done. I feel like an idiot for even trying this many times, but man this panel looks sweet when there are no dead pixels or dust particles and I can stop paying attention to the back light bleed. If I felt confident...

    Good gaming reviews/news websites?

    Gonna toss in www.gamerevolution.com Nothing particularly remarkable about it except that I've found the reviews often line up with my opinions of various games over the years. Also, they don't give every AAA title a fawning, ridiculously perfect score.

    Mouse lag on LG HDTV

    Well, I hooked HDMI back up, removed VGA, grabbed a new mouse, and labeled the HDMI 1 input as PC and my mouse is consistently snappy again even after logging off and back in and rebooting. Now for some por--err, youtube! :D Thanks for the tips. Also, can anyone give me some tips on how to...

    Mouse lag on LG HDTV

    I recently picked up an 32LE5300 32" 120hz TV to use for gaming and the PC. My mouse lags on it though. I'm outputting the native 1080p resolution via VGA with Gaming mode enabled, but my cursor is still lagging a bit making it floaty. Now, what's strange is that if I fire up Team Fortress 2 or...
