    LG 48CX

    Hi, I got a strange question. I just received my 48cx today. I brought it from Best Buy. I was mounting it on the stand when I noticed on the bottom of the stand it had markings in black marker around the screws and where you put the 4 screws to secure the tv. It was a bunch of circles and some...

    Alienware AW3418DW 34" G-Sync Monitor for $899 - Newegg eBay

    Actually, the good thing about eBay is that if they side with you then a shipping label from the seller is provided. Also, I'm not sure if anyone here is also part of their concierge program but they been really helpful.

    Alienware AW3418DW 34" G-Sync Monitor for $899 - Newegg eBay

    It says no returns but I’m wondering if you get one with a bad display then can you make an eBay claim for help in getting another one. Anyway, price was attractive enough for me to buy but here’s hoping between eBay and my credit card protection that there’s some kind of protection. Thanks to...

    BenQ BL3201PT 4K monitor

    Hey guys, I'm not sure if this will help you but I initially had some flicker issues and couldn't consistently get 60 Hz. The monitor kept defaulting to 30 Hz and couldn't change it in the control panel. I was using a mini-displayport to displayport cable. I brought a displayport to displayport...

    Best Monitor Choice for Vision

    Yeah, I got really lucky with my Dell u3014 monitors. Both turned out with no problems. Actually, I'm only keeping one of the U3014 as the other one is going to my wonderful lovely wife who lets me indulge my techy side without complaining or wanting something in return. :D I'm trying to...

    Best Monitor Choice for Vision

    Hi, I have both the Asus Rog Swift PG278Q and a Benq BL3201PH that I need to decide between which one to keep. Here's my current rig: 3930k, 32gb and gtx 690 quad-sli with two Dell u3014 monitors. I work in front of my computer late at night about 4 hours or so sometimes. Here's the...

    gtx 970 sli vs gtx 690 quad sli

    Thanks guys. I think after reading the comments and thinking about things then I'm going to hold pat for just a little bit longer. It's just that the 970 is priced so nice it tempted me as a placeholder card. I'm pretty happy now with my current setup except that's it's a bit louder than I want...

    gtx 970 sli vs gtx 690 quad sli

    Yeah, I was thinking tri sli but that sort of defeats my purpose of noise and heat. I was hoping 970 sli would be better but not so sure. Audio equipment sure is pricey so if no real improvements then $$$ saved for that. Thanks again.

    gtx 970 sli vs gtx 690 quad sli

    Hi, I need some help on deciding if I should ditch my 690 quad sli setup for a 970 sli setup. I've got two dell u3014 as my monitor setup. The logical side of me is saying probably not and at most this would just be a lateral upgrade with not much if any improvement. The I want new gear side is...

    The Offical - Who is buying a Haswell-E 5960X, 5930K or 5820K Thread

    Hey, will the X99 platform allow you to run 2 Intel raid setups on the 6 ports? I know that the other 4 ports will not allow any raid setups. Looking to migrate over my raid 0 of two ssds(boot drive) and raid 5 of four hard drives (storage) from X79 setup until my raid card arrives. Thanks.

    The Offical - Who is buying a Haswell-E 5960X, 5930K or 5820K Thread

    Thanks guys! I'm on the fence about upgrading. I've got a new DAC coming so I wanted to also optimize my pc for audio. However, right now I don't really bench anymore or play as many games due to work. My pc is mainly for work and listening to music. So, if not for the fact that I needed to...

    The Offical - Who is buying a Haswell-E 5960X, 5930K or 5820K Thread

    I redo things in my pc about once a year. So, I'm about to rearrange things again in my pc and was originally going to skip this iteration but I kind of caught the upgrade bug. I've seen everyone keep saying if you run sli dual gpu cards then the 28 lanes might not be enough. I'm running an...

    29" Ultra wide displays for MMO gaming ?

    I agree with the above comments. I have the vp2770 as my surfing monitor and main one for work while the lg29ea93 is for gaming/movies plus when I need another monitor for work. I came from a 30 inch Dell monitor and was going to pick up the 3014 until I saw all the problems it had. I can't...

    3240x2560 thoughts

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking if it would be too tall. I'm thinking I might just stick to my original plan of keeping both a VP2770 along with the LG29EA93. I've tried this out for work and it's not too bad but I do have to admit I think two VP2770s would be better for work but the...

    Hi, I'm in the process of choosing new monitors for work and gaming. I'm moving from a Dell 3008 driven by quad sli gtx690s to a new setup. Currently, I'm testing a combination of a Viewsonic VP2770 and LG 29EA93. I must say I love both monitors since I got ones that don't have any...

    Non-Korean 27-30" sRGB LED IPS or PLS with no scaler?

    I haven't tried their CS yet but I don't think it will comparable to Dell/HP. Dell is pretty good. All of my monitors have been Dell except for an HP 24incher and this one. I choose this one over the Dell monitors because of the response time. However, if you buy through Amazon and use a good...

    Non-Korean 27-30" sRGB LED IPS or PLS with no scaler?

    Pretty good. I used the settings found in the VP2770 thread along with the ICC profile there and am a happy camper. I'm in front of my pc working from home most nights for another 4 plus hours after the office so PQ is very important to me. Also, I like to play games so I've got quad sli gtx690s...

    Non-Korean 27-30" sRGB LED IPS or PLS with no scaler?

    I just got mine from Amazon recently and no dead pixels but very minor backlight bleed. The color is amazing compared to my 3008. I miss the 30 inch real estate so I'm debating whether to pick up another one or try out the LG 29ea93.

    Best way to connect three ASUS VG248QE

    Hi, I've got quad sli gtx 690s. I'm going to pick up three ASUS VG248QE to see how I like them. What's the best way to connect the three monitors so that I can optimize their performance. Is it dual dvi or Displayport? Also, how would I do it? A little confused on where the...

    LG 27EA83

    Ok, I've been eyeing this monitor for a while along with the new Dell U3014. I need some advice. I'm currently using a Dell 3008 monitor driven by quad sli gtx 690s. I'm constantly in front of a pc from about 9:30am to 1:30am. Recently, I've been told that I have some axial...

    GTX690 vs. GTX680 sli - User Experiences

    Wow. Go away for a little bit and see what happens. lol. Actually, I wasn't too concerned with micro stuttering. I had 580 sli and if i could live with them then it shouldn't be a problem here. I'll probably end up keeping the gtx690. Appreciate the offer, but SSDs is kind of my thing as...

    GTX690 vs. GTX680 sli - User Experiences

    It looks like the gtx690 will probably win out. Going watercooling on the chip and just picked up a Seasonic Platinum 1000w psu so silence my be golden in this case. Thanks for your comments.

    GTX690 vs. GTX680 sli - User Experiences

    So true. I guess because of my ADD compulsion to upgrade things then my definition of "foreseeable future" is 1.5 years at most. My current setup of GTX580 sli is the longest I've keep cards. I'm just too addicted to this hobby. Thanks!

    GTX690 vs. GTX680 sli - User Experiences

    Hi guys, I'm building a new rig. I have two gtx680 cards in front of me but just got a great deal on a gtx690 from a client. So, I wanted to find out from users who either went from gtx680 sli to gtx690 or from gtx690 to gtx680 sli their experiences and views on which was better. I...

    Need Help with 4tb external drive not working

    Yup, it's one of those drives. I've emailed them a couple of times for help, but no answer. I'm never by my pc during their telephone hours. From the post above, it looks like I may have a little bit of trouble. I've just been so busy with work that I haven't been able to build my Areca Raid 5...

    Need Help with 4tb external drive not working

    Hi again, someone mentioned to me that they think my NTSF boot sector for the external hard drive might be corrupted. Waht do you guys think? If this is the problem then does anyone know how to fix this. I figured I'd ask here first before going home to google some more. Thanks.

    Need Help with 4tb external drive not working

    Ok, I'll look into that. From my limited experience, this does look like a Raid problem? My external was connected but I was updataing Windows and it restarted without me shutting down the external properly. I was thinking the Raid setup got corrupted. Thanks again.

    Newbie - Need Advice on water cooling 980x

    I was looking at the Rasa kit but I wanted a setup I can just bolt on or drop in without modding my case. I have two 140mm fans at the top of my case. I was going to go distilled and Nuke. Is silver coil any better? Thanks for you advice!

    Hi, I looking for advice and opinions on setting up a single loop to cool my 980x. I've never ventured into serious water cooling because of my work schedule. However, I finally want to give water cooling a shot. Currently, I've chosen the lazy man way of cooling it with an H70. It's stable...
