I bought two new monitors today.
Is 6 MS huge or will I not even notice?

Are these good monitors?

When I opened my computer my HDs minus the 3TB was in dynamic. SO I assumed that was standard- when I called about why the 3 TB wasn't in dynamic they said windows 7 64b is limited to 2tb dynamic drives.

I went with Asus VG248QE
They are 1msGTG monitors 144MHz
I don't believe there is a better monitor on the market within that price range, the next one up as of 2 months ago was an additional 200$

Response time along with most monitor specs are meaningless.

The default is basic. There is no limitation on size for dynamic disks afaik.

How can you say that?

the MS on a monitor is an additional lag to whatever your displaying?

IE: In StarCraft a 5ms monitor vs a 1ms monitor would give the lower MS monitor owner a 4ms advantage--unless my logic is flawed from a factor I haven't considered.

He means it like this:

The specs the manufacturer mentions are worthless.

The actual latency you will see in practice needs to be measured with some sort of external device. This measurement shows what's real.

You can't compare two monitors with the specs they have on paper. You will have to look up reviews that determine the real latency.

The response time measures how quickly the pixel can change from x to y. There are about a billion ways to measure things and there is no universal standard to measure response time or contrast ratio. Most manufacturers just take the lowest or highest number for marketing purposes. Starcraft II isn't a fast pace game so a 1ms monitor wouldn't have an advantage over a 4ms monitor.

I figured this, or I figured that anything below 3MS wouldn't be noticeable to the human eye.
either way, I like this response (:

While what is on paper is usually misleading- the reviews I read form amazon say the 1ms claim is legit.
I'm not sure about the above posters monitor.

We do love to be told what we want to hear.

That being said there is nothing wrong with the specs of what you posted, I was merely suggesting a more optimal one if your interested while your return may still be valid.

Enjoy your new monitor

Why would you read Amazon reviews to gauge performance? If I said my Pentium 4 is faster than an Core i7, you'd believe me? -_-

It's 100 euros more for better MS and MHz (I know that matters, but I've never experienced it; so I figured I'd save on costs)

Don't care about playing games on it (as long as it can handle BW).
Reliability is probably my number one concern. (edit->) Portability second.
What laptops should I check out?

Yeah, I guess the question is what you're doing in those Adobe programs (and which?). I assumed it was something relatively intensive or else it's not worth bringing up, though that could be a bad assumption.

And I should have specified quad core i7. That's my bad.


Specifically at the moment it would be Photoshop & Illustrator & Dreamweaver all simultaneously. Also animation software separately.
Those business class laptops are petty awesome, although kindof clunky looking and heavy (ones i saw) except the zenbook.

Zenbook and the lighter stuff use low-power dual cores that might not be as suitable for running all those things. Depends on the usage though. Also, the Ultrabooks tend to have SSDs, and you're not going to find something with sufficient storage space (with an SSD) for all those huge Adobe suit programs plus scratch space for projects, the OS, etc. under $1000.

If building around performance and portability (unfortunately reliability is less certain), something Clevo W740SU-based seems possibly suitable.

http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np2740-clevo-w740su-p-6201.html


Though really, going with a quad core may be overbuilding on specs if you're not constantly using heavy operations. I mean, how fast do things run now, and what hardware are you running those things on right now?

I shipped my PC from EU to UK and I bought a 15A powe (kettle) cord here to plug in my corsair builder series 430cx. First it worked fine but now I get short BIOS beeps (meaning power error on the gigabyte ep43 ds3-l). Should I buy a low amper kettle cord or have I just ruined my PSU already ?

Any power cord like this is just a few strands of wiring. The power rating is something you're not supposed to exceed or else the voltage drop across the cord is excessive and it heats up too much. The thicker the cable and the more it is rated for, the less it heats up. It has practically no effect on how much power is drawn by the computer.

No, changing the cable changes nothing.

It's probably that some connections got knocked loose during shipping. Plug everything back in. Or some physical shock from shipping knocked some faulty electronics loose such that the power supply or motherboard is now defective and won't run. You could try a different power supply.

I removed the psu and board from the case, put it back together and now it seems to run fine (I've been running it for a good 3-4 hours now, installed updates, watched some video and listened to some music but mainly just let it run by itself). Thanks a lot, I was getting panicky because I really wouldn't have the budget for a decent rig right now.
I have buddies who used to work at airport parcel services so I prepared my machine accordingly ^^

Does anyone knows if i can get a cheap laptop with a 'rainbow' keyboard? I've already searched for a bit and the cheapest one i found was this one: http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX42868 but it's already out of stock and specs are way higher than what i need.. but they only seem to offer that thing on high end laptops? If it's really the cheapest one on the market, can we usually get really good rebate on black friday or boxing day for laptops like this or it's probably going to be around the same price?

sorry if its the wrong thread to ask this kind of thing ;o

What's the best way to have a vertical and horizontal monitor setup? I know its preference in the end; but I'm trying to figure out how to enjoy games without going off the screen when edge-panning (like in Dota 2), but also maintain a comfortable flow of dual-monitors (one that is vertical and the other is horizontal).

Not sure if I'm being clear here :x
