I'm not sure I understand your question. What kind of computer monitor do you have? Are you actually considering getting a $100 card just to save money and use the same monitor for your PC as you do for your console?
I know you like the idea of capturing the occasional console screen, and...
I seriously doubt that, and if you have any information to back up your statement I'd love to see it.
Lite-On is not claiming there is any "sophisticated trick" to speed things up, and the only thing I can imagine that would actually help would be a Kenwood True-X-esque multi-beam laser...
Exactly. DVD media is not like CD media. DVD-Rs need to use a totally different write strategy for 4X+ burns than they do for 1X and 2X burns. The concept of a "deeper burn" at 1X doesn't even make sense. For example, older burners were incompatible with 4X+ media, and using that media could...
I would consider that a "decent screen," actually. I'm just saying it's worth putting more effort into it than pointing it at a random beige wall.
A friend of mine has his projector aimed at a $100 overhead projector screen, and I have to say it's hard for me to tell the difference between...
Well, the two most practical ways to go that I know of if you're worried about dead pixels:
1) Just research the actual screens. Certain brands and certain models have dead pixels half the time when they show up. Certain ones have about 100+ reviews on NewEgg with maybe one guy complaining...
Come on, now. That's a prefectly legitimate criticism. Projectors just suck in well lit rooms.
My dad, my brother, and my best friend each have projectors. Two of them are newer InFocus models. They're definitely nice, but most people I know are more impressed by my 32" Samsung panel...
You'd really be better off looking for specific info on http://www.avsforum.com/
You mentioned you're getting a projector to save money. Don't forget how much bulbs cost. Bulbs are so expensive that your sub-$1000 projectors are often disposable since the cost of the bulb is about half as...
OK, I guess it's not worth worrying about if it's so random what you get.
I see where you're coming from. This guy doesn't need much of a computer, but the bottom line is that he's a millionaire and a good friend. He's also really cheap and a hypochondriac. An interesting guy to be...
A friend of mine wanted to get a Dell and was asking my opinion of what to get. He doesn't really do anything that needs much power (he's using AOL over his DSL connection -- that kind of guy), but he tends to keep computers for a very long time (he's upgrading from a P3-550).
I was...
erwos:
That doesn't even make sense. HDTV is by definition 16:9. All HDTV streams are 16:9. If something is 4:3 and is being broadcast in HD, it is actually being broadcast as a 16:9 stream with pillarboxing. This is why all HDTVs are 16:9.
I mean, right this second I'm watching...
I don't know how much the release of Conroe is going to affect the lower end of the spectrum ... and he's talking about $1000 for everything including case/monitor/keyboard/mouse. I'd build something like this:
CPU: Intel Pentium D 805 Retail $111.9 (ZipZoomFly)
mainboard: ASRock...
There were never $3000 consumer DVD players. Even when they were first released, you could get them under $400. Are you talking about DVD-Rs? The professional ones were around $3000, but that's the case with everything. By the time Pioneer 1X consumer DVD-Rs
were released, they were around...
Seeing as you're from Illinois, could you at least make some attempt at proper use of the English language? You're asking for help here. Let's try to make things readable. How about just the topic?
Topic Title: hmm have to configurations one going to be oced or normal p4d rig or opty 165...
Yeah, seriously ... Am I the only one that remembers paying $15-$20 for a blank write-once CD-R in 1997? Once they got down under $10 my 2X SCSI burner was cranking out PSX games like Hong Kong.
16:9 and 16:10 might be pretty close, but they're certainly not the same. If you're going to use something as an HDTV, you want 16:9 because that's the aspect of HD broadcasts. It seems pretty irrelevant you bringing up TV which was shot in 4:3. That's not exactly the type of source people...
