    Samsung S27A950D 120Hz

    The 3m version is in stock on Amazon. There doesn't seem to be any certified mini-DP to DP cables, but there is an adapter, here, made by the same company that is claimed to be certified for AMD cards.

    Samsung S27A950D 120Hz

    I found a fix for the displayport issue, well both displayport issues with this monitor. First, to fix 3d mode turning off: Turning off GPU scaling worked for me Second, to fix the screen randomly losing connection: it apparently has to do with uncertified cables. There is only a single VESA...

    Frustrated.. why would AMD do that

    Who buys $1100 dollars in video cards without doing any research?

    Samsung S27A750D 120Hz

    I wonder, has anyone experienced this issue with regular non-mini Displayport? I haven't had a problem yet with my 15ft DP cable from Monoprice hooked to my 5870s' full-size port.

    Samsung S27A750D 120Hz

    Have you messed with the Response Time setting? The Fastest setting feels great in motion, though you must remember to set it to Normal when using 3D modes.

    Samsung S27A750D 120Hz

    It should have the name of the monitor in Device Manager and not a generic driver.

    Samsung S27A750D 120Hz

    It only takes a quick press to turn on the glasses; holding it for that long will cause it to resync. You'll see the button turn green within a second or so of pressing it. They will turn off when you leave 3D mode.

    New 27" 120Hz monitors.

    There's the Samsung S27A700D, which is a S27A750D with a traditional case/stand and DVI-D instead of Displayport. I'm unsure as to when it will be released.

    Samsung S27A750D 120Hz

    If you haven't yet, make sure to install the monitor drivers on the CD it came with. You should be have access to 120Hz after that. On the 3D issue, I don't have a solution. It happens to me as well. Strangely I do remember it turning itself off one time, while I was messing with Catalyst...

    Samsung S27A750D 120Hz

    Side-by-side fits both views onto one 1080p image. Your monitor, when set to the appropriate 3D mode, splits the image, stretches each half from 960x1080 to 1920x1080, and converts that to sequential 3D for shutter glasses. This works ok for the most part, but the extra aliasing is noticeable...

    Samsung S27A750D 120Hz

    I would wait on that 5870 right now. There's a problem with Tridef and HD5000 series graphics cards' Displayport output. I have a 5870 crossfire setup and at the moment I'm limited to Side-by-side mode 3D with the newest Samsung-specific Tridef software, which is the only driver that gives me...

    Samsung S27A750D 120Hz

    Well, it looks like it might be an AMD driver issue? I retract my previous statement that the regular version of TriDef 3D doesn't work. It did say that a compatible 3D display was not connected. That is, until I did an uninstall/driversweep of Catalyst 12.1 preview and installed 11.5b. Once...

    Samsung S27A750D 120Hz

    That is the method I use currently. In BF3, the glasses are working; I'm just getting a 2d image. In every other game I try with the Samsung-specific TriDef, I get side-by-side. I also have yet to see any automatic transition to 3D mode. What version of Catalyst are you using? To Burpy, that...

    Samsung S27A750D 120Hz

    I received my S27A750D from TigerDirect today, 4 days after I ordered it (it was backordered then as well), so you shouldn't worry about waiting long. I have been blown away with how fluid 120Hz feels! Unfortunately, I have yet to get 3D working. I'm have two 5870's in Crossfire, and I'm...

    LG IPS 27inch 3d/120hz 2560x1440 monitor!!!!

    Polarization avoids requiring 120Hz by limiting alternating horizontal lines to each eye instead of alternating frames. You still get 60Hz per eye, but only at a resolution of 1920x540. While this may be an acceptable compromise on its own, there's other related issues that may sway you the...

    LG IPS 27inch 3d/120hz 2560x1440 monitor!!!!

    I'm pretty sure it will not accept a 120hz input, so HDMI will be sufficient. This isn't anything really new; they're just applying their passive tech to IPS screens. Hopefully it will come with the same polarization as their HDTVs and not their other monitors.

    LG IPS 27inch 3d/120hz 2560x1440 monitor!!!!

    Watch out before you get an LG Passive 3D monitor. LG's HDTVs can use RealD glasses, while their monitors cannot. This is because their polarization is not the same. They are both circular polarized, but 45 degrees rotated from each other. If you use the wrong glasses on either, they will fail...

    5870 for 150 shipped

    Mine has the reference cooler and looks identical to my reference XFX 5870 I purchased right after it was released. I haven't looked at the PCB itself to compare, though.

    5870 for 150 shipped

    I received mine on the 28th. I see nothing wrong with the card; it looks brand new. It's sitting happily next to my other 5870, blowing my face off with the performance I'm now getting in games. Metro 2033 is finally playable at max settings. So beautiful! :)

    5870 for 150 shipped

    I went from a 4870 to a 5870, and I saw temperatures and noise drop a good bit. With pretty warm ambient temperature I get around 45-50C idle and around 75C in a demanding game. The fan isn't spinning nearly as fast as the 4870 at these temperatures, though.

    dvi vs vga

    How is VGA better than DVI? I'm not sure it's based on the user. At best they won't be able to tell the difference, but DVI will never be worse.

    You will get a better picture with DVI, as you won't be converting to analogue and back like you would with VGA.

    Dell's IPS and multitouch ST2220T finally shipping

    Does anyone have any experience with infrared multitouch screens? I have never seen one in the wild, and would like to know how well it works before considering this monitor. The only thing I know of that uses them is Microsoft Surface.

    Why do IPS panels look like?

    To what reiterate what LC155 and albovin said: What you're most likely seeing is the anti-glare (AG) coating on that particular IPS monitor. Your TN panel has a less aggressive AG coating, or none at all. The type of panel has little to do with it. You can find IPS panels with no graininess as...

    Logitech G3 if they're still selling it. Same shape as the original MX300 but with better internals.

    Desktop blurry and oversized in native res on HDTV over DVI-to-HDMI adapter?

    It sounds like overscan to me. Check your HDTVs settings and look for a zoom option and play with that. You should be on "Fill" or the equivalent right now. You're looking for a "Standard" setting that makes normal TV have black bars on each side. If that's not an option I think the nvidia...

    Hot? 64GB $75 AR

    Not quite. For example, I have a 64GB SSD with 40GB used. If I delete/change a file I will have the last 24GB plus whatever extra there may be to wear level. For your example to be true, there could only be 1 cell being used for storage ever.

    Questions for people who know about displays

    What you are probably seeing is temporal dithering, which flashes between two colors to fake a different color. Static dithering doesn't flash but looks worse. You should try borrowing another LCD and see if your problem persists.

    Questions for people who know about displays

    It isn't really advertised at all, sadly. Your monitor is using a TN panel, which all use some form of dithering. If you want to avoid dithering altogether you will have to look at PVA or IPS panels. They are much more expensive and relatively harder to find (you won't find a 19" without a TN...

    Questions for people who know about displays

    Sounds like it may be the type of dithering used to get more colors than the panel can normally do.

    16:9 vs 16:10

    They serve different purposes only because you choose to do so. Not every HDTV can work well for PC but the option is there and it is not something to dismiss so easily. 16:9 monitors are replacing 16:10 so that difference is going away. The dot pitch issue is moot because it's up to how high a...

    16:9 vs 16:10

    What would dot pitch tell you at a given screen size other than the native resolution? The only thing you're saying is that PC LCD monitors have higher resolutions at a given size. They are still both the same technology. I'd go as far as to say that the majority of people couldn't even utilize...
