    Affordable Vizio 4K Ultra High Def TV Now Available

    That's why this is special. It does have 120hz in the edid. AFAIK it's the first tv to do it (other than that one seiki?). 240hz, otoh, is terrible market-speak. I know Sharp has some 1080p 4ms panels, but still...not a common average pixel refresh/persistence (especially with any kind of...

    Vizio P series (Sept 24th) + GTX 970/980

    According to vizio manual, hdcp 2.2 is on ports 1,2, and 5. So...could someone try 3 and 4? Unless vizio is completely punking us, that should still be capable of 1080p120 (in theory), right? (Yeah, I know it's not HVM, yes, I know it will be 4k30 [or potentially 4k60 4:2:0] but...worth a...

    Vizio P series (Sept 24th) + GTX 970/980

    I went ahead and ordered a 65'' P. I needed about a fingertips touch to push me over the edge, and reading (the verge? I forget) an article they mentioned at the launch party they had the 65'' P going against the 65'' 8500 with identical settings (so I assume they could verify it's wasn't...

    Vizio P series (Sept 24th) + GTX 970/980

    I would love a 65 ax900...if it ever comes out...and if it ever comes anywhere even remotely approaching these prices. 65'' (hopefully higher-quality, ie closer to 192hz like better LG models than 165hz like their lower-end models, ie 5-5.5ms rather than 6-6.5ms) ips with full-array (local...

    Vizio P series (Sept 24th) + GTX 970/980

    Thanks for all the updates, guys. Any luck with modding it through cru/nvidia's drivers? Has anyone e-mailed nvidia/vizio about the issue (especially 4:4:4 for nvidia on top of 60hz)? For the guy that asked why 4:4:4 is important: Video is encoded in 4:2:0, so (if they get that...

    Vizio P series (Sept 24th) + GTX 970/980

    Dammit. You're telling me 120fps-encoded dvds still won't work!? All none of them? But I've been waiting like 15 years...:( (But seriously, that's probably for 120fps mpeg video which you prolly know often isn't actually 720x480 in many cases. I don't know if anything like that commercially...

    Vizio P series (Sept 24th) + GTX 970/980

    Huh. I looked long and hard at those Red cables (for this approx setup) and decided it was one more thing that could potentially go wrong, or I would wonder about. They seem very intentionally specced per use, vs a thicker dumb cable in which that shouldn't be a problem. Obviously my...

    Vizio P series (Sept 24th) + GTX 970/980

    Very excited for you, brother. I plan on stalking this thread tonight. I (probably like you) have been waiting for this setup (P + 2.0 video card) since the January announcement. Pretty stoked to see how this all turns out, as while I ordered a 970 (as an initial card to get everything...

    Need Help Finding a 4K 60FPS TV with no "smart" features

    I have heard some *interesting* stories as well (probably from a select vocal few) on the net, but I figure those possibilities (like damage/screen problems they could blame on me when not my fault) will fall in the time I can return it to store. I have also heard their direct support has...

    Need Help Finding a 4K 60FPS TV with no "smart" features

    I can understand completely. A one year warranty does suck, but coming from a guy that has always used LGs, I have given it a lot of thought, especially since their lower-end series this year is winning the praises of everybody and their cat. Consumer Reports says their returns are as low as...

    Need Help Finding a 4K 60FPS TV with no "smart" features

    Luckily for you it seems you're just finding out, the rest of us have been waiting since the announcement in January at CES...You only have to wait approx a month (slightly more or less, launch party is supposedly end of month, and 55/70 can be pre-ordered at amazon). *edit: apparently you...

    Anand from AnandTech Retiring from Tech Publishing

    This to the nth degree. It will be sorely, sorely missed. I appreciate what guys like Ryan at PcPer and Scott at Tech Report do, but Anand really knows how to ask the pertinent questions, and get key information out of people without going into bias. He also is very in tune with the zeitgeist...

    IPS-based gaming monitor - what to choose?

    +1. Coming from a guy that went from crt to crt to tn, to old va, to currently LG ips, my next panel will be a AHVA (auo) unless they are substantially worse for RT/lag than their other (non ips-like) tech, which seems doubtful...auo has gotten pretty good about making the right compromises...

    Need help upgrading my video card

    It's slightly farther down the foodchain...but is still the type of card I would recommend. It should be pretty solid for 60fps at 1680x1050 on high settings in BF4. It will also keep it above 30fps min at 1920x1080 even on very high settings...pretty much what you want. The 270x is a decent...

    270/280X to be slower than 7950/7970GHz

    Pretty much...but consider possibilities. For instance: The reality is 760 was purposely clocked to compete with a 1536sp part at 1ghz*. You can expect at least 1ghz/5400...likely slightly higher in one regard or another to match/slightly beat where most 760 cards perform...up to...
