    OLED Computer Monitors?

    Well that turned out better than I expected. JeffDC = banned LOL. Praise the [H] mods! sethk: 4k 40" LG TVs (not OLED) are selling for $600 now. Not too long ago they were almost as expensive as the 55" LG 4K OLED (I think?). I am very hopeful that within a year or two we will have 40" 4K...

    Of course he won't take it back. His fragile ego would shatter. And he CAN'T stop himself from making stupid requests, that's what stupid people do. :D

    Looking for cheap, bassy headphones

    Shure 750DJs are the best bass lover's headphones I have ever owned. They go on sale for $88 (more than your stated budget but I think they are a steal at that price since normally they are around $150). I have purchased almost every pair of under $200 headphones over the years and these are...

    Best 32" 1080p IPS HDTV for ~$350-500 to be a monitor?

    Alexdi, no problem. Sounds like you are going through the same choices I was. I actually planned on ordering the LG you mentioned on-line but then I found my Panasonic locally (only 1 in the whole city). They price matched Best Buy so I was happy (I live in a small city with no Best Buy)...

    Best 32" 1080p IPS HDTV for ~$350-500 to be a monitor?

    Hi thepoohcontinuum, looks like it does not: "2011 Panasonic TC-L32U3 FAIL P1" Edit: I did the "quick and dirty method" listed in your link and I can BARELY see the magenta, all the other colours I see clearly. So that confirms what the chart (that I quoted above) said.

    Apple 27" Cinema Display for gaming?

    My roomie is VERY picky and he games for hours (WOW) everyday on a 27" iMac (same screen as the ACD right?) and he has zero complaints. And he often complains about things I don't even notice.

    Best 32" 1080p IPS HDTV for ~$350-500 to be a monitor?

    I have been using a L32U3 for 6 months now (around 2.5 feet from my face) and I am totally happy with it as a great all around monitor (got it on sale for $450). Previously I had 3x 23" Dell Ultra-sharps and I prefer this TV in every way. For gaming it is flawless to my eyes. And the colours...

    Must watch video about MMO's; Documentary “Gamers”

    Words of wisdom. I often wonder if I am the only one in the world who has "reflected deeply" on what truly leads to happiness or not. The easiest way I have found to clearly see it is to ask oneself "If I was alone on planet Earth what would I do just for the pure joy of doing it?" So...

    Completely stuck, really need some user input on a 30"solution

    So true. I think 10 years from now we will look back at these "mirrors" and laugh. My 13" MacBookPro was awesome but I sold it because that screen was a nightmare.

    Ummm, hit a nerve did I? LOL :p First, I never said what shows I watch. Second, the posters below you made valid points, without being emo, proving your assertion "The only thing you'll get better at from raiding is doing more raids" to be wrong. So... nice double fail on your part. :D...

    We Will Soon Live in a 100 Gbps World

    Yeah I hear you. For some reason on the west coast of Canada many small towns around Halifax (up to 2 hours away) have 100mb-160mb connections! I was looking at cheap houses online and stumbled upon that fact. When I saw them list 100mb in a town of 2000 I was like "sure". But I did some...

    Official World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Thread.

    Just jump in. Compared to what PUGs are used to, I know you will rock as a tank, since you even know that such sites exist! I was worried about not knowing my way around dungeons since it had been years since I ran the vanilla ones and even then I ran them very rarely since in the old days I...

    Official World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Thread.

    I have played WOW on and off since launch. Before WOW I hated fantasy games. If it was not FPS or Racing sim I was not interested. Then WOW came out and almost every site was gushing over it. I was still not impressed until I learned there were no load screens when travelling for hours! I was...

    Must watch video about MMO's; Documentary “Gamers”

    Yeah. People get all emo about it but if that is the biggest problem in someones life it's a pretty easy fix. How many people watch TV 2-4 hours everyday? At least in WOW you are interacting socially, if you are in a guild, and if you do high end content you actually have to use your...

    Judge says WikiLeaks' Founder Can be Extradited

    Hey great reply, honestly. I agree with most of what you said. I think there needs to be a way for information that may save lives to be made public regardless of it's protected status. I would err on the side of disclosure and it seems you would rather err on the side of caution. But after...

    Good opinion article on PC Piracy

    Honestly I think it is a shift in the perception of information. The old analogy: is reading a book in a library piracy? People learn sharing is good and then later in life they are told, well... sharing is good but don't share music or DVDs etc... I think this makes people feel that copyright...

    Judge says WikiLeaks' Founder Can be Extradited

    I am not pro Demo or Repub so lets not get into that lol. The problem with your stance is that any corrupt government can just label any damning info as "classified" and then they can do what ever the hell they want. My stance is that any damning info that is classified MUST be made public. How...

    New MacBook Pro's - Including Thunderbolt and Quad core cpu

    I had the 2010 13 MBP and the specs sucked (from a PC geek viewpoint) but that thing rocked way faster than the specs would make you guess... I think it is mac magic... or Macgic. So my lesson to everyone is this: Just buy a mac based on looks and don't worry, the Macgic will take care of...

    Ummm, anyone that exposes lies that caused Americans to lose their lives is someone who should be considered a hero.

    We Will Soon Live in a 100 Gbps World

    I had an actual 20mb/s connection in rural Japan (by actual I mean compared to in Canada where my 15mb/s connection was normally 3mb/s) and after 4 months and a full 2TB ext HD I was having trouble thinking of things to download. :D So in my mind 100mb/s would be more than enough unless you...

    Eyefinity Configuration Suggestions

    That is a tall order... I honestly can't think of a better solution (that meets your requirements) than the monitors you chose. I think in your shoes I would just wait and try again with Frys since they were so cool about no restocking fee.

    Dell U2711H vs 3 x Dell U2311H vs 2 x Dell U2410

    That's true. For the OMFG factor Eyefinity in portrait is still the best bang for the buck. 3x23" in P is bigger and 3 times the res of my 32" that is true, but the bars are really a bummer in P with the skinny 23" 16:9 screens. In L they are not an issue but I can't see 50% of my side...

    Why Eyefinity is not for me.

    I agree. After using a 3x U2311 set up for 100 days the thrill has worn off. I plan on getting a 32" 1080p IPS TV and selling my 3 dells. I know that a 30" Dell is better than a 32" Panasonic but honestly not 3 times better (but it is 3x the price) so the "bang for the buck" makes me go HDTV...

    Dell U2711H vs 3 x Dell U2311H vs 2 x Dell U2410

    I have 3 of the U2311Hs and I find that I liked my single 32" 1080p TV better overall. For the past week I have only been using one of my U2311Hs and I don't really miss Eyefinity (moved my setup to a new room and never bothered to set up more than 1 monitor). Just my $0.02, in fact if...

    Hi, yes they are. To my ear they sound great and I am only using my ASUS pro onboard sound with a digital coax cable to the z5500. My best friend has a Denon receiver with Paradigm speakers + sub and "bang for the buck" the z5500s with these Polks are a GREAT deal. He was kind of bummed when we...

    Dell U2311H

    Thx, they are these: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882290202&cm_re=polk-_-82-290-202-_-Product They go on sale a few times a year for $129 which is a great deal. My last speakers were Klipsch RSX 5s and these sound as good to my ear but speakers are very subjective.
