    why is there no regular poster in here posting in the gaming forum?

    People posting on the gaming forums are totally different breed from the guys here. They are actually far worse over there. Most of them are quite extreme in their views, and often seem to be only a little more mature than children. The worse of it is that the majority of them steal games and...

    DiRT 2 will not have Full DX11 Support

    AMD DX11 Cypress is Radeon HD 5870 & HD 5850

    Wow, it looks like Nvidia put a gun to your head, and threatened to rape your family, unless you bought their products? Cut this bullshit. If there are people willing to pay $500 for video cards, then it is OK for Nvidia to sell them at that price.

    GTS 250 or ATI's 4770?

    Guys, I really appreciate the replies, especially from cusideabelincoln. I just checked and the 4770 and the 4850 are practically the same price here where I live. The GTS250 isn't bad either. So between the GTS 250 and the 4850, would I still be better off with the Nvidia card? From...

    GTS 250 or ATI's 4770?

    I am sorry, I think I was confusing CUDA with PhysX. The 4870 seems to be coming in 512 and the GTS 250 is in 1GB. That probably won't make a huge difference I suspect on his 17'' monitor though. I live in Asia, and can either get the XFX 4770 512 or the GTS 250 1GB for about 15 dollars...

    GTS 250 or ATI's 4770?

    Hey guys! I am looking to get my young brother a video card for some gaming. His 7950GT recently died, and his birthday is in a few days, so I am looking to get him one of those two cards as a present. He games on a 17'' monitor, so either of those cards should be sufficient. Trouble is...

    Samsung is offering a swap - should I take it?

    Congrats OP. You made me log in. I had the T220... and it was absolutely terrible!!!! It has a nice gamut for a TN, but the accuracy is poor. There is terrible uniformity... I am a graphics designer and that was just a bad monitor. It looks really good aesthetically though.

    [Retired] The LCD Thread

    I got the "Dell S2409W" yesterday and if you look at my post history, I have never been satisfied by the numerous monitors I have purchased. This however, is *fantastic*. The viewing angles are the BEST I have seen on a TN panel, period. The colors are above average, the contrast is excellent...

    Hey, The Samsung T260 was suddenly available to me. Is it worth a purchase? I am note entirely happy with my T220's color uniformity.

    Getting a new sound card - Creative X-FI Xtreme or Titanium & how useful is the onboard memory on sound cards?

    I got the X-Fi Ti (normal version) the other day, and the installation was seamless. Creative have come a long way in their driver support.

    ATI 4890 vs nV GTX 275 reviews

    Dude I know you have a GTX280... but seriously, you are making yourself look like an ass here. The GTX275 beat the GTX280 quite obviously.

    Xtknight, why aren't Philips more popular in North America? Any ideas? I am considering this LCD: http://www.consumer.philips.co...CD-monitor+230C1HSB-00 Would you guess that's a good panel?

    [Retired] The LCD Thread

    Hi there, I have the T220 for my own home use. As a graphics designer I like the color gamut the monitor has to offer (for its price), though the viewing angles aren't brilliant, and there are some weird after glow effects -- that I have now gotten used to. These issues can be fixed mostly...

    Thank you for your help xtknight!!! :) The aspect ratio boggles my mind a lot as well. I don't get it. The monitor you pointed out isn't available to me. I am kinda stuck between the HP 19'' and the HP 20''. :P

    Hey! Need a bit of assistance. I am looking to buy my sister an LCD, and can't afford something too expensive. Basically, I am stuck between "HP W1907" and "HP 2009f". The HP 2009F http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfr...roduct=3884698&lang=en Is almost the same price as the HP W1907, so I...

    If anyone is interested, I took my T220 back today, and tested the T220s to note that the lack of color uniformity wasn't limited to one unit. Then I had a look at the LG227WT. While it was very fast... its colors were really really off. I don't know if it had to do with the calibration, but...

    Well the lack of color uniformity is still there. Everything else is perfect though. I am going to see about getting a better version of the T220 tomorrow though. And I haven't noticed any issues in my games after turning RTA off. Oh and DVD playback on this is quite good.

    Thanks. Well mine hasn't automatically turned on, so I am glad for that. :) Anyway, Digitalversus recommended it stay on for the T220.

    So something strange happened. I was watching a video on my comp and I was getting a lot of weird shadowy crap like before... and decided I'd try without the RTA option... and lo behold... the shadowy crap is GONE. The T220 is far more tolerable now, except for the weird color uniformity...

    First of all, I really appreciate your answering my question. I have to say, that in terms of color, the T220 is quite quite good. When I look at the colors submenu on photoshop, it looks quite good. But other problems have now popped up. For example, if I move my mouse on a light colored...

    Ahhh need some help here. I sold my VX2235wm and bought the Samsung T220 solely because of this review: http://www.digitalversus.com/article-358-3448-36.html So the monitor looks gorgeous, and there are no dead pixels... but I have a problem... and I think it is a big one since I am a...

    Which of these monitors would you choose?

    Of those, the VX2255wm has the best image quality AND the least ghosting. Do NOT go for the Samsung. Trust me, I saw two of those running side by side, and one looked like it was behind a blue filter; it was a very obvious blue shade. I wouldn't have believed the extremity, had I not seen it...

    nVidia GT200 Series Review Thread

    So I went through the web's benchies, and laughed a little. I bet all of you boys who bought your 7950GX2s are really pleased. I predict the price will go down to $350 pretty soon on the 280.

    problem with 9800GX2 and Viewsonic vx2255

    I've own two Viewsonics before and they've all had the same issue you are describing. Viewsonic has a problem with its DVI for some reason. Both of my monitors fixed themselves after a restart and video card port switch. You probably will have to return yours.
