    Vertical Purple Line on 20.1 LCD

    I have not even had this new BenQ 20.1 LCD a week and I woke up this morning to a thin (about one or so pixels) vertical line running the entire height of the screen. I have power cycled everything, but no luck. Do I need to contact NewEgg about a replacement?

    New to Widescreen

    So, I now have this wonderful BenQ 20.1" Widescreen LCD on my desk, but I have a few older games that want 1024x768. Since I am at 16:10, and the game wants 4:3, the screen is stretched across the entire display, distorting the image. How can I get it to compact it into a 1024x768 box in the...

    New Monitor - Regular or Widescreen?

    My CRT has to go. I have had it for 10 years, now, so I think I got my money's worth out of my 17" Panasonic monitor. It has screen burn and cannot get a resolution higher than 1280x960 and still have a decent refresh rate. So, I am going to ditch it and go LCD. Over the past week, I have been...

    Geforce 6800 Heat Issues

    I recently sent my GeForce 6800 card back to XFX for warranty replacement. I am not sure what happened to it, it I had artifacts and all that mess during boot. At any rate, the card was pronounced dead and returned for replacement. Anyway, I get the new card back, and while playing America's...

    Video Upgrade Question

    My wife has a MSI KM2M Combo-L mobo, and currently is running her old Geforce4 MX440 64MB card on it. I would like to get a budget card for her. Since she is not the 3d junkie that I am, she does not need a high end card to run all the fancy Doom 3 and Half Life 2 type games out there, just...

    New Fan Needed!

    I just recently purchased and installed an XFX 6800 AGP 8X 128MB card, and man does it run sweet! Also, using Rivatuner, I was able to enable the extra pipes and shaders. I am doing no other OCing. However, I have noticed my heat levels are in the mid to high 70s under load. I am currently...

    6600GT or 6800

    Ok, so I finally got the money together for my video card upgrade. I have waited long enough, and I am tried of my MX4000 POS. Anyway, I can afford a 6600GT or a 6800 card (AGP) and I was wondering which one I should go with. My mind tells me 6800, but at the same time, I am wondering if the...

    Upgrade Advice

    Currently, I have a AGP GeForce MX4000 128MB card. Yeah, out of date piece of junk, I know, but it has done me well for a while now. Well, many games are starting to come out that do not support this card (Silent Hunter III, PoP:SoT, Republic Commando, to name a few) and I want to get...

    User Profile Question

    I am currently setting up a new in house domain to replace our old, outdated NT4 domain. The old domain was set up by a complete moron, so I just felt making a new domain on a new Win2k server was the way to go. Now, I am testing migrating systems from one domain to the other. I am using my...
