    Samsung 730BF

    I am considering the Samsung 730BF, but the "LCD Buyer's Guide" links to an article by Xbit, which says it has serious problems. http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/other/display/response-compensation_15.html This I would be happy to accept, if it wasn't for the many other reviews that make...

    7900 what-have-you probable release date?

    Does anyone have a clue when the new cards will be released? Just wondering because I will be getting a 7800GT in a week or two. If the release date is soon enough, would it be worth waiting? Even for the price drop inevitable for 7800GTs? Thanks.

    Monitors... grrr...

    Monitors annoy me. They annoy me a lot. I'll be getting a new comp come xmas (sig), but because of my resonably tight budget ($2200NZ) I'm having to cut back in the monitor department. I'm looking at a $200NZ 17" CRT ? *waits for the groan of pain* Monitors these days frankly cost too...
