Found this comment inside a monoprice review for a DP to HDMI cable. Something to investigate anyway.... Before you buy, make sure your video source supports dual-mode DisplayPort (NOT just regular DisplayPort) and is compatible with PASSIVE adapters. I didn't do my research, and it didn't work.

This is a TN panel. A very good one mind you but it won't have the image quality of the 2415.

Bought a 750 G2 for my son's rig a couple days ago based on positive feedback (and good price off ebay.) Subjective rating is very high after install. Glad I found this thread to confirm PS quality before throwing down the $. There is lots of junk out there and it's difficult to know what to...

I think the high frequency of some "gaming" monitors is so they can produce images beyond 60 FPS. If you are not gaming this feature is of questionable benefit. The "ultrasharp" Dell monitors are the ones to target if image quality, not gaming, is important. A larger screen might be the way...

I've got a U2415 and love it. As far as I know it was released in late 2014 so the design is about 5 years old not 11. Dell still sells it so that should tell you something. It still seems to be top of the heap of Dell monitors at 24". It's got a terrific panel that has a little more...

Shopping for a new vehicle so signed up for Consumer Report for access to their reviews. Narrowed down the search and then requested quotes via the CR TrueCar link. Within a day or so I had written quotes via email. TrueCar has historical sales price data so you can compare your quote...

Clean it up, top off the oil, and keep going. You got nothing to lose at this point. Even if you needed a new engine that would be cheaper than a new mower.

I'd do it. Marine grade Sta-bil and go to the max dosage. The alcohol in the fuel absorbs moisture in the air and then the raw steel in the fuel tank and lines can rust from the inside. The Sta-bil is designed to ward against this sort of damage.

When performing a restoration and needing parts I used to go every week. I'l leave the tools in the car and make a scouting trip walk through. If I found something I needed I'd go back to the car and and put on my jumpsuit and grab the bucket of tools. Ah, the good ol days.

With a budget of $6000 you can get TWO bikes! 1) Suzuki 1200 Bandit. The swiss army knife of motorcycles.;) 2) Kawasaki KLR650. Around the world in 80 days. Ready set go!

Okay, so lets recap a little here... My recommendation (as presented earlier in this thread), which was attacked by Mr. JulesMaximus as "horrible advice" -drive car around the city with liberal use of throttle, but nothing crazy. This is to provide some load to the rings to help them seat...

JM presents himself as someone lacking knowledge. Adjusting valves isn't rocket science, but it does show some eptitude. Too bad that doesn't translate into him recognizing good mechanical advice from bad.

Wow, congratulations! Posting a video of the vehicle starting after performing routine maintenance! That's quite an accomplishment! Carry on...

Hey JulesMaximus, what do you do for a living? Just wondering, because it's clear you don't know anything about engines. Have you ever held a wrench in your hand at all? Do you take your vehicles in to the dealership for oil changes?

If you think the recommendation to keep the rpm's down on a new motorcycle is based strictly on what's best for the engine then you are an idiot. The mfg'ers guidelines include a heavy dose of conservatism aimed at the rider getting accustomed to the vehicle before exploring the upper reaches...
