Downloading a bunch of DEFCON talks. I didn't realize there were about 150 talks just in DEFCON 18. My connection is not ready.
[QUOTE=BlkDucky;31849945]Wouldn't that make everything unbearably tiny?[/QUOTE] If it were 30" perhaps, or if the OS run on it had decent custom DPI support. Windows isn't really too useful it corrupts on some displays I think. I think Mac's have better support in that way.
[QUOTE=mobrockers2;31849797]Still no reason to pay that kind of money for a monitor.[/QUOTE] The monitor is the most underrated part of a desktop setup. A larger, high-resolution monitor with great quality and so forth may cost a lot, but it's worth it in the end. The difference between a monitor is that you can keep a monitor for many years but a computer needs to be replaced every couple of years to have it run the latest games, operating systems and so forth. If you're working on a computer, a larger monitor is invaluable. It's worth the price even if you just want the extra screen estate. If you're working with media, the true colors et cetera makes it awesome. There are reasons to pay that kind of money for a monitor.
[QUOTE=Wiiunite;31849950]Wait, does it only run at 1920*1080?[/QUOTE] 2560x1600 4.1megapixels versus 2.07megapixels for 1080p.
[QUOTE=brandonsh;31849627]Do any CIPWTTKTers know of any alternatives to TVCenter? It's just a horrible program, and I wondered if there was anything else I could use with a PCTV Nanostick.[/QUOTE] KMPlayer should work. There's a newer version of the program under a different name, though I can't quite remember the name. [QUOTE=milkandcooki;31847848]Do any of you guys have parents that like videogames? I told my dad about Tropico 3 and he was interested and might wanna play, so that made me kind of happy.[/QUOTE] My mom plays a lot of Peggle / puzzle games on the PC. My dad used to be addicted to Hot Shots golf of the PSP and played a bit of Lego Batman when we got an Xbox 360 about a year ago.

I have an urge to grab the nearest DVD and throw it at the perfect angle in a random direction. So far, I'm holding the urge rather well. I'll probably fall asleep and forget about it before I do it.

PotPlayer is sweet as fuck
[QUOTE=brandonsh;31849897]I would, but whenever I open the bastard program it starts messing up my MP3 ID tags, which is pretty damn annoying. :v:[/QUOTE] Remove your music folder from your Win7 music library and Windows Media Center shouldn't even see your songs anymore
[QUOTE=TehWhale;31850125]PotPlayer is sweet as fuck[/QUOTE] also you should use it because it has pot in it's name
[QUOTE=wlzshroom;31850149]also you should use it because it has pot in it's name[/QUOTE] I think I'll give it a try. v:v:v [editline]21st August 2011[/editline] Wow, PotPlayer is a horribly broken program. Brings up 3 windows to view, then doesn't find any channels. :v:
why not just use VLC like every body else
I hooked up my old HP 15" 1024 Low Emission in clone mode to see how my current monitor does in input lag. So far it's pretty good. Want to see how it compares to the Dell. Hopefully my current monitor is shit at like 30ms or something so that the U3011 will be faster.
[QUOTE=zerosix;31850712]why not just use VLC like every body else[/QUOTE] Yeah, VLC handles everything you throw at it.
[QUOTE=Dr. Deeps;31850851]Yeah, VLC handles everything you throw at it.[/QUOTE] You trade quality for compatibility, unfortunately. I find VLC ruins most things I run in it.
Just saw Portal 2 being listed as a Shoot'em Up in a store. What
[QUOTE=BreenIsALie;31850942]Just saw Portal 2 being listed as a Shoot'em Up in a store. What[/QUOTE] Shoot dem walls bro. They're gonna get you if you don't.
[QUOTE=zerosix;31850712]why not just use VLC like every body else[/QUOTE]VLC takes a good second to pause anything you play and continues playing sound while the video stops. It takes the same amount to go to any point in the video, PotPlayer doesn't do any of this and has more codecs.

It's always had this problem, and the people I talk to about it have it as well, PotPlayer doesn't do this. VLC also tends to play static when I'm playing FLAC files whereas foobar2000 and PotPlayer do not
Welp, tested my CRT and my LCD and both seem nearly dead identical in performance. Which worries me. I was hoping my current monitor was bad with lag so that the U3011 would be even better... It's dark because I had to get 1/1000th of a second to test it in MS close enough. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/CTGsU.jpg[/IMG]
[QUOTE=Dr. Deeps;31850851]Yeah, VLC handles everything you throw at it.[/QUOTE] MPC + K-Lite handles everything I throw at it. Better quality, too.
