    Booting problem ...

    It is a Cooler Master Silent Pro M600 (I bought it in 2009). Yes, I have a volt meter, but I am no expert at all. I'd rather buy a new PSU, perhaps an EVGA one. Regards.

    Booting problem ...

    If I leave the PSU on and press the case start button it works properly. If I leave the PSU off for hours (and therefore the whole system) I have problems. I tend to think that the PSU is the culprit ... too old. Regards. Thank you for your help. PD. Sorry for my English. I'm from Spain.

    Booting problem ...

    Hello. Whenever I turn on the power supply and press the case switch button nothing happens. I have to wait for 20 seconds, press the button again and the booting process starts now. Is it a mobo problem or a power supply unit problem? It never happened before. Regards

    How frequent are dead pixels nowadays?

    I've had four LCD displays until now (VA and IPS, Samsung and NEC) and three of them have developed faulty subpixels. Does it occur so often or it's just I am unlucky?. Regards.

    Does panel uniformity improve over time?

    Speaking generally I'm very happy with my new 24" monitor: no dead pixels and no backlight bleeding. But (there's always a but) the panel uniformity on a white background is lackluster. It´s not very even and I can distinguish some sort of yellowish spots. Anyway it improves when the display...

    I have made up my mind about my upgrade: Dell U2410. I would have preferred a 26"/27" but the resolution 1600x1200 is not easy to find on larger displays, and my card is not very powerful. Regards.

    Why are 4:3 monitors disappearing?

    I prefer them for desktop PCs, because you are very near the display. 16:10/9 resolutions are good for TVs and movies as you are a little way away. Regards
