    ATI Display Brightness Issue

    I updated to the newest CCC/Drivers on Saturday. Radeon 5770 1 GB card. DVI interface. Ever since when I boot, my display is really bright. But if I click on CCC it goes back to normal. I don't have to do anything else, just open the app. Is there a setting I can change?

    HDMI on LCD Not Crisp

    Ati Radeon 5770 HD 1 GB on an Asus VH242H monitor. Tried HDMI cable and text is blurry. Anything I can do for that? I am using the DVD-D. Movies do look better though with the HDMI, though hate having to change cables.

Now what am I...

    Is this PSU total garbage?

    you said it was cheaper quality, just quoting what you said "However, if you're looking for a cheaper quality PSU, check out the XClio 450W with dual 12V rails for only about $50!" Anyway it's not in stock and I want my desktop back ASAP. I am going to see Tuesday if I can pirate something...

    Why get a worse quality when I can get an ANTEC in stock with my $15 discount plus the shipping comes to $47
