    Question about using HDTVs for the computer

    Well, that's where I'm curious. Imyourzero didn't mention actually turning it off. All he said was "I switched the AVMODE to "USER" and it still adjusts the contrast." I don't think he actually turned OPC off.

    I just looked in the manual, located here: http://www.sharebigfile.com/file/127720/LC32-37GP1U-OM-pdf.html On page 27, it shows that you can easily just turn OPC off.

    Radeon X1950 Pro

    My current card is an X800 XL. Will I see a HUGE difference in performance if I upgraded to this card? I'm curious because I can get this card for $150, so it wouldn't really damage my wallet too much.

    Computer turns on by itself

    I dunno what would cause this, and I hope there's an easy fix. Whenever I shut down my comp, it turns back on by itself maybe 15-30seconds later. In order for me to turn the comp off, I have to shut it down, then flip the power switch on the power supply. Help please :)

    ATI Radeon X1900 XT...

    This card just keeps dropping and dropping for this employee purchase program. The x1900 XT is now DOWN to $209.40 They recently added the X1900 XTX and it was at $329, and now it is DOWN to $239.40. Is this because of AMD buying ATI? Or is ATI coming out with a new card? I'm a...

    Computer Locking-up when Idle?

    This happened with my newest built computer too. Turns out I just had a crappy motherboard. Came home from work one day and it was locked up. It didn't like my ATI card too because it'd like to crash a lot during games.

    Annoying lil thing with Firefox

    Sometimes when i middle mouse click on one of my bookmarks, it'll "restore down" the window for some reason. Any reason why it'd do this? Should I just un-install Firefox? And is there a way to save all my bookmarks?
