    Video card for 1080i Mediacenter playback?

    I was Google searching "3450 nbc hdtv stuttering" and came across this thread, which describes almost my exact scenario. The difference is that in my "control" case, I have an Acer Timeline with a 1.4ghz Core 2 Solo and Intel 4500MHD graphics chip which plays NBC 1080i smoothly. Meanwhile, my...

    Logitech Harmony 676 Universal Remote Control $59.99

    Um, it's $15 off of that price, free shipping, and from Amazon, not Jimmy Jackass selling it from his parent's basement. It is a hot deal.

    Logitech Harmony 676 Universal Remote Control $59.99

    Now THIS is a hot deal. Anyone who needs a universal remote, now's your chance. I have this remote, got it for $90, that was a good price when I got it. I don't think this price will last, check the other retailers that are all selling it for over $100.

    carbon steel Wok

    Wow, only kumanchu has any idea what he's talking about here. Carbon steel woks are what any good Indian or Chinese cook uses. The downsides of Teflon are a) possible cancer, b) surface degradation, and c) doesn't cook food correctly when high heat is needed. When you season it, it...

    Samsung 226BW 22" WideScreen LCD Display 1000:1(DC 3000:1), 2ms, DVI - Black, $272 shipped

    They do look worse, but only in terms of color. But if you read my review I just linked to, you can use the profiles I made on the "C" version to get great color. They do not have "so many more problems" as you said. I've already had over 100 downloads of the profile and several people on...

    [Retired] The LCD Thread

    Apt403: If it helps, I just posted a review of the 226BW "C" Version, that's Chi Mei or CMO, which NewEgg seems to be stocking nearly exclusively at this point. The colors out of the box have a bad blue shift, but I included color profiles in my review, made with a Spyder2, that have fixed...

    Dell 20' to Samsung 22"

    The viewing angle thing is the main problem with colors on TN panels. When you look directly perpendicular to the center of the screen, the top part appears dark and the bottom washed out, and this effects the color accuracy to a significant extent as well. This is minor and inconsequential...

    Samsung 226BW 22" WideScreen LCD Display 1000:1(DC 3000:1), 2ms, DVI - Black, $272 shipped

    If it helps, I just posted a review of the 226BW "C" Version, which NewEgg seems to be stocking nearly exclusively at this point. Maybe Buy.com as well? The colors out of the box have a bad blue shift, but I included color profiles in my review, made with a Spyder2, that have fixed mine...

    The Samsung 226BW 'A' panel EMOTIONAL HELP AND SUPPORT THREAD.

    How do you figure "vastly" superior? I just got a Spyder2, and it rectified the colors on my "C" version 226BW beyond my expectations. You can pick up the color profiles in the review I just posted on my site. I know Pantone is a big name in the color industry, but show me what says this is...

    ALIVE AGAIN: 47" 1080p Westinghouse LCD $1440 at BestBuy

    even on 37", you will be hard pressed to tell 1080p from 1080i, they AREN'T ever going to make 32" 1080p, there's no point.

    Halex bristletech electronic dartboard 75% off at Target - $17.49

    I found it, but for just 50% off totalling $39. I still bought it because I really wanted one! Thanks OP, but I wish I would've got your price. Maybe I should wait a few days and see if they lower it, then I can price match right?

    Buffalo WHR-G54S router $35 shipped buy.com with Google CO

    We should start a new Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 thread, as it is a better product and a much better choice IMO for only ~$5 more w/ GCO. The WHR-G54S is no doubt much better than 90% of the routers you could get, but with this $5 difference, you should really be looking at the HP. I have one here in...
