    LG 48CX

    I was having the same issues as the rest of you. Discovered you have to turn off "Fast Startup" in Windows 10 - https://www.windowscentral.com/how-disable-windows-10-fast-startup With HDMI 2.1, it seems to take longer for the handshake to occur. Booted up normally with TV on first try after...

    The [H] RTX 3080 owners thread.

    Received my EVGA queue notification Thursday evening for a 3080 FTW3 Ultra. I ordered immediately and it shipped out yesterday. I signed up on 9/17 at 9:01 AM PST.

    MSI Gaming N780 GeForce GTX 780 3GB $490 After $10 MIR

    Hah! Yeah. When it gets here and if the games aren't in the box, I'll probably be contacting them. When I bought the card, it said in green on the item page that it included 3 free games. It didn't add them to my cart when I checked out though, so I don't think the certificates or whatever...

    MSI Gaming N780 GeForce GTX 780 3GB $490 After $10 MIR

    Mine was the same, but just recently changed to "shipped." I agree it definitely took longer than I can ever remember it taking for Newegg. Was worried they ran out of stock or something.

    r9 290 for $399

    Add me to the list. I put my Sapphire 7950 up yesterday for $360 with $15 shipping and it sold much faster than I was expecting. I'm now kicking myself for not putting a higher BIN price. Ah well...paid for most of the GTX 780 I have coming.

    MSI Gaming N780 GeForce GTX 780 3GB $490 After $10 MIR

    Also worked for me, and I'm doing the same thing...selling my 7950. For those interested, it's showing in-stock at 6:00 a.m. Central and now has a $20 rebate.

    LG 55" LED 1080p 120Hz HDTV 55LN5100 $500

    Got this TV all set up. While the Panasonic plasma I have definitely offers a better overall picture (especially the blacks), this LG is fantastic for the money. In fact, regardless of the price, it just offers a great picture period. If you don't need all the "smart" features and they offer...

    Dell Latitude 3300 13.3" Core i5, 4GB, 64GB SSD Laptop $350

    I've ordered two "refurbished" laptops from the business outlet and both looked new when I received them, and are in fact still going strong. They're a solid deal.

    Alienware MX11 for school?

    Thanks guys!...I hadn't even thought about looking at the business laptops. I wound up ordering a Vostro 3300 from their business outlet, which fits the bill perfectly with a 13-inch matte screen, a weight of 4 1/2 pounds, Core i5, 4GB RAM, 320GB 7200 hard drive, dedicated 512 MB Nvidia 310M...

    Alienware MX11 for school?

    Hi all. I'm on the hunt for a smallish laptop for school. I'm of course looking for the most bang for the buck in a smaller package that's easier to lug around. Does the MX11 fit the bill? It's a little smaller than I was originally wanting (originally looking at 13-14" laptops). Is it hard...

    Live ID expired, Gamertag killed?

    This same damned thing has just happened to me. I'm now wanting to upgrade to gold so I can start streaming moves with Netflix, and tech support tells me the email address associated with my account has expired. WTF!?!?! This is obviously going to become a major issue with more and more...

    2407 release date

    Neodark, I would appreciate hearing your thoughts between the 2001fp and the 2407. I currently have the 2001fp and have been itching to upgrade to the 24"...just not sure about the differences with the PVA panel. I love my 2001, but would like more space for windows and stuff...as well as the...

    Oblivion First Impressions Thread #1

    You have nearly the same computer setup as I do (AXP 2500+ that can run at 3200+, BFG 6800gt, 1 gig mushkin ram). Please report back on how well it runs on your system. In particular, my LCD's native is 1600x1200 and I hate the vaseline-smeared look of lower resolutions. If you could, tell me...

    Who has a Dell 2005FPW with *no* backlight bleeding?

    Ummm...Isn't your monitor in standby mode in that picture? Otherwise, you have no bleeding I can see. I agree that people shouldn't expect the Dells to be perfect at these prices. In fact, I only bought the 2005 (even after all the hub-bub about backlight) because it was so cheap ($360...

    Who has a Dell 2005FPW with *no* backlight bleeding?

    I received a 2005fpw on Monday...I shipped it back on Wednesday. I think the bleed on mine was more restrained than on others (just the upper right-hand side of the screen), but it also had dead pixels and the right lower corner of the bezel (near the buttons) looked like it was detached and...

    Dell 2005 on sale for $396.75 with free shipping...

    Search Ebay for "dell $35 off coupon" Just pay a buck for the coupon and save. I'm sure you can find them free at some places when people give away their codes (people post their codes on fatwallet sometimes), but I just bought one for a buck and saved the hassle.

    Dell 2005 on sale for $396.75 with free shipping...

    2005 here I've been holding out to see the new models, but with one of the $35-off coupons from Ebay, this may just be too good to pass up. I think I'll hold out through today and see if they accounce the new models at Cebit. If not, I'm going to be ordering this tonight.

    price being about equal...Dell 2001FP or Viewsonic VP201B?

    Yep, I wound up ordering the Dell as well. While it's a significant amount of money, the Dell was what I was waiting for until I found out about the Viewsonic deal...just wish I lived in a state where they don't charge tax. :p

    price being about equal...Dell 2001FP or Viewsonic VP201B?

    Well, Monitorsdirect.com just canceled my order for the Viewsonic VP201B...turns out it was a misprice. So, now I'm considering the Dell 2001fp, even though I would have to pay tax. Still, at $811 shipped for the 2001fp (w/tax) compared to the $715 shipped for the Viewsonic before it was...

    price being about equal...Dell 2001FP or Viewsonic VP201B?

    Well, I just ordered the Viewsonic. Dell charges tax in my state (Texas), but it didn't state that when I clicked on "calculate shipping and tax" on their order page. It only applied the tax when I was ready to input my payment information. After taxes, it was $115 more than the Viewsonic...

    price being about equal...Dell 2001FP or Viewsonic VP201B?

    Currently looking at my LCD options and have run across a couple good deals. The Viewsonic VP201B can be had from Monitors Direct for $715 shipped. In looking for reviews on the Viewsonic, all I've found is the one at GamePC (which was glowing) - here. Today, the Dell 2001FP can be had for...

    Please ignore the above poster. He's upset because I decided I didn't want to sell to him. After five days and a total of 26 e-mails between the two of us, I decided I just didn't want to do business with him. Here's how it went: Day 1 (1/30) - Sent e-mail requesting how much I would...

    Been wanting one of these for a while...course I would also have to buy a second XBOX to hook up to my computer, which has held me back (don't want to move my other from the main TV, where my son plays). I'm pretty much waiting until the price drops on the XBOX and then I will pick up either...

    Faster7, I just send you another e-mail and PM regarding the things you wanted. I'm about to run a few errands, so it'll be a couple hours before I check my e-mail again. If you go ahead and pay, I'll have it shipped out today and shoot you the tracking number. Bo.
