    970/980 Coil Whine

    I must admit I am kind of surprised that someone has not figured out some sort of DIY mod (even if risky or requiring a lot of skill) to muffle or supress the noise coming off of the inductors, given that this is such a popular and awesome card except for the coil whine issue. I had a GTX 275...

    Asus VG248QE 144hz 3D Vision 2: The Official Thread

    Hi I just have one question on this monitor. Is there much whining or squealing with the brightness turned down? Does it emit much noise? Thanks in advance..

    Asus VG248QE 144hz 3D Vision 2: The Official Thread

    Great review, Vega! I would be very interested in hearing how it goes if you decide to remove the matte antiglare coating and apply a protective clear coating on the screen. I really like glossy screens as well for their extra brightness and clarity.

    Asus VG248QE 144hz 3D Vision 2: The Official Thread

    I know there are some people that have removed the AG on their monitors using a certain procedure where you dampen the AG for a few hours and then peel it off. I wonder if that would work on this monitor? I really don't like AG coatings, but it seems they all have them these days :(

    Asus VG248QE 144hz 3D Vision 2: The Official Thread

    I agree. I need something to replace my ASUS VG236HE which has a couple bright pixels now. I can temporarily cause them to go dark for about a week, then they're back. This panel has had a lot of issues with dead/bright pixels, otherwise it is a great 120hz monitor..esp. if you like glossy...

    120hz gaming monitor help

    I have the ASUS VG236HE (same as VG236H but w/o 3D glasses), and I think it has excellent picture quality. The only problem with this model is the odds of getting a stuck pixel seems to be higher than with other LCDs. If you can go a month without any stuck pixels, you are probably ok. For a...

    60hz to 120hz, and my unfortunate experience

    I'm going to chime in on this since I just bought an ASUS VG236HE to replace a 60hz LG 23" monitor. To me the difference between 60hz and 120hz is very noticeable, even just moving the mouse cursor on the windows desktop. I do believe some people are more sensitive to detecting changes in...

    LG L227WTG-PF now available

    It's pretty typical for most LCDs that use a TN panel (as this LG does) to show that color shifting from top to bottom that you are noticing. I have the same LG LCD and notice that on mine as well. I've actually noticed it on many LCDs I've looked at, so it's normal and not a defect. However...

    LG L227WTG-PF now available

    Yes, there is an option in the menu to turn off 1:1. It defaults to off from the factory. When I first booted up with the LG, my windows desktop (set to 1280x1024 from my old LCD) was stretched to fit the entire screen.

    LG L227WTG-PF now available

    I just picked up a LG L227WTG-PF at best buy last night. It was on sale for $289.99. I have always dreaded purchasing a new monitor even going way back, as you never really know if you'll be happy with it until you get it home and all hooked up and adjusted, and I hate having to box it all up...

    Mini review of the NEC 70GX2

    Well, I know large screens are the thing these days, but I had a 19" monitor that was dying and it seemed a 17" LCD was just about the same size, so I picked up an NEC 70GX2 LCD. It's 17" and it does seem just about the same screen size as my old monitor. So far I am really impressed with...

    Who has a WORKING 7900?

    I've had my evga 7900GT oc'd to 530/830 for 2 months and not a single issue. I just picked up an NEC 70GX2 LCD monitor to replace my dying Sony G420S and I am in gaming bliss!
