    34" 21:9 UltraWide Displays (3440x1440) - LG UM95/UM65 & Dell U3415W

    Never heard of this rumor. Probably not true. Can't find a legit source about this.

    27" QNIX QX2710 Evolution 2 impressions

    I don't know why people are going crazy about 4K monitors. Unless of course, they own the new Radeon R9 295X2.

    34" 21:9 UltraWide Displays (3440x1440) - LG UM95/UM65 & Dell U3415W

    18ms input lag is excellent for a 34" IPS monitor. Not sure if Q-BZ is serious or not.

    Most Reliable 3-4TB HDD?

    I have had 2 Hitachi Ultrastar HDDs in the past year and one of them died on me. The other one makes a weird rattling noise when NOT under load. It's actually getting quite annoying. I've replaced the other one with a Seagate Barracuda 4TB and it's been rock solid for 6 months. I'm going to...

    Wow so the Galaxy S5's camera is better than the HTC One M8 camera in both video quality and photo quality (both in daylight and low light conditions). Thanks for posting a review that actually presents measurable and tangible evidence.

    It depends on how long you're willing to wait for the Galaxy Note 4. IMO from the information you provided in the first post you should upgrade to the SGS5.It feels soo much better and more premium compared to the SGS4. For example there are more hardware in the SGS5 including the...

    Again you're just cherry-picking articles and not seeing the whole picture. The iPhone 5S fingerprint system was hacked in 2 days after release. The Samsung Galaxy S5 fingerprint system was hacked 5 days after release. I don't know why you're so pro-Apple but did you know that buying Apple...

    But the iPhone's fingerprint scanner is more hackable than the Galaxy S5's fingerprint scanner. Let's not forget that.

    The S5's fingerprint scanner and heart rate monitor ARE reasons why people but the S5 believe it or not. Most people would say they're not features they'll use everyday but they're intrigued to but it because of the extra hardware features. I mean when you have 2 phones, the SGS5 and the...

    HTC One M8 or Samsung GS5?

    A smartphone camera should be at least 8MP. 4MP is just way too low... I've tested the camera on the HTC One M8 and the photos it took looked good when not zoomed in, but even with the slightest zoom in, the photo quality got very poor.

    Advantages of Super AMOLED compared to LCD Superior motion performance (higher refresh rate) Infinite contrast Deepest black levels (0 cd/m^2 by definition) Saturated/vibrant colors Enhanced battery life in advantageous situations (such as Samsung's Ultra power saving mode) . i.e. when screen is...

    HTC One M8 or Samsung GS5?

    Honestly the Galaxy S5 for me (this is purely my opinion). But here is my relatively objective opinion: The Galaxy S5 has more hardware features 16MP ISOCELL sensor, heartrate monitor, fingerprint scanner. How useful they will be I'm not too sure but it just shows me that Samsung was more...

    From what I've seen the new TW UI seems a lot simpler than previous TW versions. The Galaxy S5's AMOLED display seems much brighter than the Galaxy S4's. Also the colors seem less saturated (i.e. more accurate colors). The overall size difference is not huge, I can still fit it in my pockets...

    Galaxy S5 way better than expected

    Yeah but those Samsung phones that are made in China are made in Samsung factories. 90% of Samsung smartphone components are sourced internally from Samsung-made components. Even the 16MP ISOCELL camera sensor in the SGS5 is sourced from Samsung now (previous Galaxy smartphone cameras were...

    Galaxy S5 way better than expected

    Well didn't they do a comparison test a while ago showing that iPhone touchscreens have poor accuracy? This is what happens when you make your smartphones in China... sorry but manufacturing QC at Foxconn factories must be terrible. Unless of course Apple intentionally made the screens lacking...

    AMOLEDs have infinite contrast. This is a characteristic of AMOLED technology which makes it superior over LCDs. You have to understand AMOLED is a new technology and is still evolving whereas LCD quality has been plateauing (for example, the HTC One X back in 2011 had one of the best displays...

    Usually the results should be consistent if Samsung uses standard QC protocols.

    Galaxy S5 way better than expected

    IMO from the tests I've seen the SGS5 surpasses the LG G2 and matches or even exceeds the Galaxy Note 3. I highly doubt the HTC One M8 can match that. I would like to see the results though. Seems like the Galaxy S5 beats the Galaxy Note 3...

    IMO get the SGS5. Seriously can't go wrong with all the new hardware specs and the best smartphone display according to DisplayMate. Also battery life on the SGS5 is claimed to be the best compared to competing products. This is because Samsung vastly improved the power efficiency of their...

    Galaxy S5 way better than expected

    But the Galaxy Note 4 is still more than half a year away from release though. For now, nothing can compete with the SGS5 in terms of features. The closest competitor would be the iPhone 5S still (because it is still relatively feature heavy). Then the HTC One M8. The Nexus 5 may still sell...

    Galaxy S5 way better than expected

    IMO the HTC One M8 is just a larger HTC One. Pretty much the same camera sensor (+added camera) and an amber flash. The same design. Pretty much the same UI (some minor refinements). No heartbeat sensor, no fingerprint scanner, no AMOLED tech, no LPDDR3/LPDDR4 RAM tech... For me, the HTC One M8...

    Err why would it be an April Fool's joke when it was released on March 31? And it was done by DisplayMate (the most reliable and objective display reviewer). The SGS5 screen is different from the SGS4 screen as mentioned by the DisplayMate review.

    Galaxy S5 way better than expected

    Yeah this news really surprised me as I thought DisplayMate favored LCD displays. Seems like AMOLED display tech will be the future benchmark display technology. It took Samsung 5 iterations to make AMOLED definitively better than LCD.

    Phone decision time..

    LG G2 by far is the superior choice. I've used it a number of times and the quality of the display, UI responsiveness and feel are top-notch.
