People are tired of going blind looking at the miniscule pixels?

The Google hits come up as a notebook on the first few pages. Who makes the monitor with the same name?

:rotfl:

I thought you would all get that reference. :D

I would be more worried about diseases from the standing water, or is that a problem?

Mainly I wonder if Eugene died or whatever did happen? I have lost interest in the minor differences between hard drives. When I started reading SR in 1998 hard drives were a major bottleneck in computing performance. Today with 24GB of RAM (and more to come) it really doesn't matter much for...

If the old laptops are working fine now, would you send them in?

Come to think of it, most forums don't last very long. I've been posting for 12-13 years and the majority of sites no longer exist or the forums were recreated. I've probably lost over 5K of posts in 8 forums, that is not including the MBF. I'm only active on 2-3 forums now. :(

I don't think it is very good for the human eye to be forcibly multitasking in extrenme contrast all the time. It only gets worse with age. There is no way I would be on display in the window on a public street either. Some HDTV monitors have autobrightness, no? I think you could start...

That is an awful way to work on a monitor. :sqnt: Ideally the background should be evenly illuminated and relatively neutral gray or white in color with minimal distractions. If you want to look out the window once in a while to rest the eyes consider placing the monitors at an angle to the...

That 2.6K was after the SR MBF?

I mean each of you here.

How many posts is enough? If I have 18,000+ posts, should I continue to 20K? What is the most number of posts that you have on any forum?

Of course I meant within each color. :farao:

Flash. ;)

Dare I mention the "F" word? :errr:

I turned off all the protection and the site was there after rebooting. I did not realize that there were subpixels in the LCD TVs. It makes sense given the relatively large size of each pixel in a large 1080i panel compared to a typical computer LCD with 0.22-0.27 pixel pitch.

A magenta and blue dot revolving around each other?

It looks like the off-axis limitations are partly mitigated by having some pixels in each diagonal direction. Interesting.

So Samsung is still considered a good manufacturer? Would the LN46C670 be a good choice? It is about as expensive as I'd like to justify on a TV; it's not like a camera lens or something critical. How do you feel about other brands, for example the quadraphonic color of Sharp or perhaps a...

So after adding two TVs in two weeks I'm on a bit of a roll. :) Now I seek an LCD TV in the 42"+ category to replace the 1990s 27" CRT. I can probably fit in a 46 incher if I move a few items of furniture, but I have no interest in a larger one. The main criteria are obviously the image...

Thanks. It is not worth trying to build a delay timer into the startup since it is not straightforward to open the devices I don't want to lose the warranties just yet. I need to start another thread about more TVs. :)

FW is dying out in consumer applications now. I think it might be difficult to replace in a few years.

I have several kinds and they are not as good as foam if you simply want noise reduction. The noise cancellation only works at some frequencies. I usually use the low volume range on the mp3 player to avoid potential damage.

I have a couple of USB 3.0 adapters which seem to work similarly. I think mainly an NEC chipset is used. One of the adapters was SIIG as was the 2.5" enclosure and fan-cooled toaster. I figured that being the same brand they would work well together and they have. Now my new system has...

It is not "the lens," but a compromise that might help. Are you mainly trying to show the plays or the players?

Have a look at renting the Sigma 120-300/2.8 next time.

Where is Intel in all this and how do they handle the SSD write cycle limitations? :bsmurf:

:puke-r: Don't eat where you ****. :tounge:

180/2.8 is the cheap way for decent speed and AF. f/3.5 is 2/3 stop slower and AF is - well you know how that lens is. 70-200/2.8 would be fine for most purposes and is more versatile.

Why exactly do the digital TVs take so long to turn on? :rant: We all know that an LCD panel only takes a couple of seconds at most to illuminate. This TV turns off after some minutes with no signal, and those ~8 seconds until power on are annoying. My 1972 Trinitron was faster.

I don't either. All of my notebooks are Centrinos or whatever it is called now. There are probably some of the old Dell Latitude notebooks at work, but I doubt they'd do anything about it at this point.

It is a little late. :-x

This is not the master bathroom either but it is more conveniently located. I would not put all that electronics in a bathroom with the humidity generated from a shower. :eek3:

:beer: Blake 4K.

I have no money for nor interest in fancy toilets. TV is obviously unusual, but I see them advertized for kitchen and bath. You don't have a clock in each each bathroom? This bathroom has no window so the cheapie emergency light doubles as nightlight and flashlight. Unfortunately we have...

The TV and receiver are set up semi-permanently in the bathroom and working well. :thumbright: I had to unplug the telephone and clock for the time being, leaving the emergency light. From observation I think the cheap LCD TVs are basically a laptop panel in a box. The vertical viewing angle...

How fast will that controller kill the new 3K write cycle SSDs?

Did those boxes get flooded out or perhaps the post was intended for Something Random? :crnval:

Yeah. There don't seem to be as many different cards as in the past and the 1U is another limiting factor. :???:

Surely there must be other controller cards with different chipsets that you could try. Maybe Marvell?

You must be doing something or they are not posting. Anyway there is no nasty spam yet. :)

It is deactivated. Bleh. :frowner:

Could it really be that awful?

Opossums sure can fight back, for example against a smaller dog. They have a huge mouthful of teeth and quite a loud growl too!

I've had at least 5 of those cheap cards in various systems, at one point even three on one motherboard, and they all worked fine with hotswap. Maybe there is some hardware incompatibility with your motherboard.

I have the product now. The transmitter and receiver are fairly basic, with only a power switch and 4-channel selector. The directional mini dish antenna is nice. It works well at the closer distances, but picks up noise and zappies through more than one wall. The audio level is quite low...

Maybe because it is not out for two months?

Here is a cheap 1TB drive. How can I know for sure if it uses the advancing format?

You have to be there in person for a restore?
