Under the advanced display properties you can set the profile. But yeah, I think double clicking adds it to the options.

In my opinion, while indeed the Spyder 4 is better at calibrating screens with varying backlighting, the Spyder 3 I have does almost as well. At least it certainty is much improved over the default. I guess there's a bit of a sensor lottery with the devices, so your's might not calibrate...

Yeah according to the Spyder 4 profiler, this display does 96% of the SRGB gamut. That's pretty good for TN and 120Hz.

Here's my profile for those that requested it. I got a Spyder 4 Pro, so the profile changed. My settings. Standard mode Brightness: 0 (this gives you 120nits) Contrast: 50 Gamma 4 User color mode: 96 green, 100 blue, 100 red (that's to get 6500k before calibration) Then apply the...

It's a very nice monitor. I'm considering getting a second to replace my old 17" samsung that pales in comparison to it. I saw tftcentrals review of the calibration, and they did an ok job. With my Spyder 3 calibration, these were the best settings: Brightness: 2 Contrast 50 Gamma 4 Color Temp...

Apparently in the hotdeals forum Dead Space 2 download was on amazon for $5 today. Anybody see it? I don't. A link would be appreciated considering all the different versions of it. I would post in the HotDeals forum, but I don't have 50 posts.

I call bullshit. What makes super computers powerful isn't the amount of nodes, but the extremely low latency inter-connectivity. Sure you could rent out Amazon's whole infrastructure, but with 10s of seconds of latency to share the computational workload, you aren't going to be doing...

I wonder what other features the top of the line board will have? Hopefully it comes with decent onboard sound (X-Fi?) and I already spot a Killer NIC. I'd be willing to sacrifice 4 DIMM slots if it means the board already has all the features built in and I don't need plenty of add-on PCI-E...

Interesting scaling, but what is your configuration? I would love to see a comparison between: Microsoft AHCI vs. Intel Matrix Driver AHCI + Windows Software raid Matrix + WIndows Software raid The intel matrix driver makes a big difference, or at least used to compared to the default AHCI...

False Positive: It turns out it is just a PXE packer.

IE8 is finally looking comparable to Firefox and Safari/Webkit. Of course Firefox wins because of plugins. But at least IE8 is much more standards compliant to make web developing easier. I just ran IE8 x64 vs Firefox 3.1_32 vs Webkit Nightly on the Sun Spider benchmark...

@Kyle or Brent. 1. I see you already addressed the fact that Edge-Detect was introduced a long time ago. 2. I use edge-detect with adaptive aa with "application settings" and 2x AA selected in TF2. It seems to work fine at 2x. Are you sure it won't work? Or maybe it's just a limitation of...

I work for the IT department at my college, UCSD. We require our residents to take a "p2p, antivirus, firewall, complex password" quiz before they are allowed to register for quarterly internet access. Yes, the questions are dumb and easy to answer, but they are only there to illustrate...

Update: Catalyst 8.5 adds a fix for secondary monitors not waking up. So far all my problems with the G2400W not waking up have been fixed. Another thing: According to my Lagom LCD calibration: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ Brightness: 100 Contrast 38 Gamma (display drivers): .80 or .75...

I always run with vsync off because of the 60Hz limitation in most LCD montiors. Even though it introduces tearing, for me this is preferable because the teared frame at least represents a part of an old frame and a new frame, thus FPS games are smoother because you see more updates instead of...

I see there are a lot of questions about this monitor's TN viewing angles. I have to say that yes, the brightness of grey does shift, especially on the HardForums color scheme. However the Hardforums are pretty much the only place I can see this easily. Does it bother me day to day...

http://ordorica.org/misc/samsung_710t_vs_benq_g2400w.jpg Please ignore the grainy picture, thats just my 4mp camera trying to deal with low light. On the left is my old 17" Samsung 710t (DVI) and to the right is the benq g2400w (DVI). Both are connected to a HD3850, and surprisingly I...

uh, i got ahead of myself, I see mac was hacked first. Duh. :confused:

I'd say Linux first. Hackers can study the source and find an exploit before the event. Then once they get there just execute it (assuming they will be using a fully patched 2.6.24 kernel). Linux is only as secure as you make it, and hardly anybody bothers to actually study the source. But...

Oh yeah, and ATT drops out for some people too? It sounds like somebody is messing with teh interwebs.

I think there are a lot of rumors going around, but there might have been a fourth cable severed! http://www.khaleejtimes.com/DisplayArticleNew.asp?xfile=data/theworld/2008/February/theworld_February77.xml&section=theworld&col 1st: Accident 2nd: Coincidence 3rd: Suspicious 4th: right....

Good point. I agree intels 45nm architecture is top notch. Their "tick-tock" strategy is hard to beat. But I still think that Centaur has outdone themselves too for a 65nm design. This chip has many advanced features that intel still lacks. And their will be a huge savings because their...

Actually, I believe the cost of the actual fiber optic is very cheap. Its essentially just purified glass. The trick is in mass producing this fiber optic cable. Copper is actually quite expensive (and a limited resource), heavy, requires more maintenance, and requires repeaters over long...

nice... you provide a link which debunks tax protesters by using court cases in which the Judge failed to adhere to previous supreme court cases. When the supreme court becomes irrelevant in the eyes of certain Judges it's a clear case of breaking the constitution and everything this country...

More more thing. Please watch this video before all others. Theft by Deception: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7521758492370018023 It's very dry, but it digs all the way down through the regulations and shows you exactly what the law says. It even goes throw the entire history of...

The sad thing: Most people don't realize the IRS has no legal authority to collect taxes. Go ahead, read the Statues and Regulations of the Congress. The average American has no obligation to pay taxes. Of course, the word "voluntary" is on the tax forms for this very reason (otherwise they...

Whats even more redunkulous is that the anydvd author cracked the new MKBv3 without actually owning Matrix 2 and 3 (the affected titles). When it all comes down to it, the Processing Key must be in the register of the CPU to decode the video at some point in time. You cant decode video...

Go ahead and raise the rates again.. sigh. 1. people are using electronic communication and less paper. 2. USPS raises rates to make up for the loss in volume. 3. higher rates drive people to use even less paper. 4. rinse and repeat At what point will sending mail become too expensive...

no edit? anyways, I should also mention that my NF3 board's RAID/SATA controllers are not supported by Vista either. Which means i'll be forced to upgrade unless I fall back on IDE. Who do I blame? Nvidia. They should and could easily add in support for my board in one of their SATA drivers...

and what is wrong with that? A real SATA/RAID controller should always present itself as a normal generic IDE device that doesn't require drivers. Usually if you need drivers that implies your CPU is doing the processing instead of the hardware. Expensive SATA/RAID cards don't need drivers...

i'm interested to see if this is a scam too :P anyways, you guys should stop translating with online translators, they are too literal. I see nothing wrong with the names or the address (from a spanish perspective)

Has anybody considered trying out the 680i board with linux? Or any other supported OS's? I do not personally know if the 680i's components (SATA controllers, etc) are supported under linux yet, but that would be a valid test to determine if it's a hardware or driver problem. If you still...

unfortunately for me, I have a Nforce 250GB board (nforce3) and I get great SQ (especially headphone mode in games) and no clicks/pops.. but I DO get random freezes during gaming.. its usually when a sound is about to be loaded in an FPS games, like a gunshot sound. At that point I am forced...

stay away. I have an extreme music version of the card and it randomly BSOD/Freezes/Pops/Clicks.. Please take the time to read the Creative Sound Blaster Forums and discover the truth for yourself.

you guys forget.. most of the world's computers still use PATA. And no.. they aren't any slower than SATA drives with everyday usage. Only their burst rates are higher. But yeah.. SATA is the right way to go with NCQ and a serial interface instead of an 80 pin parallel one.

i have this router.. it actually has better range then most routers I have tried (even compared to much larger full size routers) However, throughput is around 20Mbps on an open and strong connection. No where near it's 54Mbps theorectical peformance. (and that is tranfering files between...

Wait.. what do you have against screws?? :P

I picked up five packs because I've had great burns with any fugifilm media. One of the packs reads. Made in Taiwan Nero CD-DVD Speed: Disc Info Basic Information Disc type: : DVD-R Book Type : DVD-R Manufacturer: : unknown MID ...

you have to remember that with digital you either get HDTV or you don't get any channel at all. There is no in between static images like there is with analoge. I too live about an hour and a half away from all my local broadcasters (Los Angeles). They all have HDTV content, but my cable tv...

when i had my CRT i used 1024x768 all the time too, but as soon as I got my LCD i switched over to 1280x1024. Basically, lcd's look their best at their native resolution and anything else is blurry or not as bright (at least in games). I just picked up my 710T yesterday and I am amazed by it...
