I'm planning on purchasing a new monitor in the next few months and the Samsung C27FG70 was on my list. It was low on the list because of the low 1920x1080 resolution for a 27 inch monitor. I'm looking for one with 2560x1440 resolution and Freesync like the Asus MG278Q, 279Q or Nixeus EDG 27. The Sa...

I'm not in a hurry. If I wait 6-9 more months and my new PC is getting 2-3 more years lifespan, I'll wait for that. Don't wait! Build it now! If you keep waiting for the NEXT BIG THING to come out, then you will never build anything. Yes, there are rumors the GTX 1080 may be released this summer bu...

Maybe someone at AMD can talk to the screen manufacturers and get them to produce monitors for Eyefinity. Without bezels in the middle! I'm talking resolutions of 5760x1080 (3 landscape) or 3240x1920 (3 in portrait) or 5760x3240 (3 on top, 3 on bottom). Samsung's MD230 models came close but they sti...

Several people have mentioned the M-Audio AV40 speakers. I have 2 pairs of them and they sound really good. I use one pair for my computer and the other with my television. Sometimes I combine the 2 with a set of Creative T20 speakers for surround sound with my computer for games or with my TV for m...

What's R&P? Rants and politics? Here's my wishlist for my next monitor: - 24 to 30 inches - IPS panel (or really good TN) - $300 to $400 - 120 Hz - Adjustable height, tilt and rotate - Thin bezels (just in case I want 2 more for an Eyefinity setup) - 4 port USB hub - 1920 x 1200 res or higher - ...

I always feel like I need a shower after we go there. Take some hand sanitizer and use it every 5 minutes. :lol: I don't hate Walmart because of their cleanliness. I boycott them because of their business policies and practices. Half of China would be unemployed if Walmart shut down... Ok that's an...

*Anything* but dead center when looking at a TN panel introduces color / brightness shift. You may have an older LCD because I haven't noticed significant color/brightness shifting. Of course I don't lean back in my chair and put my feet up on the desk. I'm not at home right now so I can't try that...

Lock On: Air Combat Simulation is the original version. There was an expansion called "Flaming Cliffs" that included the SU-25T, a more advanced version of the Frogfoot. About 3 years ago Eagle Dynamics and The Fighter Collection released "DCS: Black Shark" which added the Russia...

There are some flight sims out there, but they are few and far between. Here are some suggestions. - Lock On: Platinum - This game is about 5 years old but the graphics are really good. You can fly the F-15C, A-10, Mig-29, Su-27 and Su-25. I have seen it on the shelf at Best Buy for $20 and it's ava...

Well, I download and install Vista updates when they become available. But I downloaded and tried to install SP1 a couple of weeks ago. It would not install because of some corrupted file and I haven't taken the time to find out which file it is and fix it. I thought about reformatting and installin...

Does anyone have an Asus Xonar DX card? Or a D2X or a D2? Some background... I installed the Xonar DX card last week and I've mostly been playing Battlefield 2 and using Winamp. I bought the Xonar card because I was using the onboard audio (which has no EAX effects). I am getting some weird results ...
