    Buy SAMSUNG TOC T260HD? or?

    There's a couple of cons to this monitor that you probably already know about. The stand isn't VESA compatible and isn't height adjustable. There's also a very subtle backlight bleed along the bottom. Actually, bleed isn't the right word - it's more like an unevenness to the lighting. It's only...

    Thinking about getting a Blackberry

    Oh, come on. You're comparing a device from 2007 to the latest Android handsets. Of course it's going to be slow in comparison. I can't comment on the App World vs. Market though. After comparing web browsing on EDGE on my Dev Phone 1 with 3G on a couple of devices, I've gotta say, 3G is...

    BFG RMA questions/stories?

    Just wanted to let any of the watchers of this thread know that FedEx dropped off a package for me this afternoon with a pair of BFG 9800 GTX+ OC 512 MB to replace my non-functional 8800 GTX OC2 768 MB cards. I've installed one for now, though I haven't stressed it out yet. My total RMA...

    T240HD Tilt

    Mine has a nice matte screen, but the bezel is high gloss. Actually, it's annoyingly high gloss. Maybe that's what they were complaining about?

    BFG RMA questions/stories?

    I think it's pretty unlikely that your hardware is killing your cards, though that thread about the 191 drivers is pretty interesting... I'd say, pop the card in and boot into safe mode so the nVidia drivers aren't loaded. Check what version of the drivers you have installed, and if they're...

    T240HD Tilt

    The strange thing is, I was pretty sure mine didn't tilt. I tested it before responding, just to make sure, and lo and behold it did! Perhaps there's some kind of tilt-lock button?

    T240HD Tilt

    Bought my T240HD back in April of '09, and it definitely does tilt. Good monitor for the price, despite the lack of VESA compatibility, and assuming you can stomach the look of a TN panel. The selling point for me was the cable TV input on the back since I was buying it to replace a good old...

    BFG RMA questions/stories?

    I'm a little bit unclear about what you're saying. I take it you had a failure and had it RMA'd, but the replacement you received didn't work either. You RMA'd the replacement, and got a second replacement that didn't work? Then, you tried the replacement in a friend's computer but it did work...

    SLI and 3 display systems

    nVidia has a pretty good description of what you can do with multi-monitor support on their site, but it's a little bit buried: http://www.slizone.com/object/sli_multi_monitor.html The short story is, with SLI on, you get two monitors only, using the outputs of your master card. The outputs of...

    What is so hard about making a bezeless display?

    My understanding is that there is a certain amount of dead space on every panel around the functional part of the display. It seems to be an artifact of the manufacturing process that leaves a border of non-functional pixels, so the bezel is both for structural support and to cover up that dead...

    EVGA RMA heart-ache

    Wait, what? I wasn't slamming anyone. I was just observing that my computer was making that same strange squeal as his.

    T-Mobile 9700 Bold = best phone ever

    I think it's hard to compare them directly because they also use a different processor architecture. In addition, there's the difference between OS 4.6 and 5.0. They look really similar, but there's been so much behind-the-scenes work that the new OS feels like a whole different beast.

    BB and syncing IMAP show all messages as New

    iirc, the BB will only grab headers for the past few days' worth of new e-mail, so I wouldn't worry about excessive data usage. The only way that I know of to clear those messages would be to have the user hit the menu button while focused on the date separator above the most recent unread...

    EVGA RMA heart-ache

    Oh, so that's where that noise is coming from! I had a pair of 8800 GTXs, but I was wondering if it was the PSU making that noise.

    My video card collection, not completed..))

    BFG RMA questions/stories?

    ssnake323, throwness, I'm actually in a similar situation as well. Bought a pair of BFG 8800 GTX OC2s in May of '07. On December 12th while playing a game, the system locked up with a bit of artifacting. I figured it may have been a fluke - I've always had nvlddmkm.dll BSoD problems with these...
