  1. Actually I wonder if using powerline affects it as well.
  2. Ok I'll look into it. But I think you're right .. all responses and research points to like un-clean power source or signal.
  3. I have been having issues on trying to diagnose this problem for my speakers. Basically, I get loud static noise randomly (see video). Usually it's from me watching YouTube videos but I suppose any audio for that matter. My current setup for the speaker can be seen here. Also, for met to get rid of the noise, I would have to play the YouTube video while audio is on mute, or I can restart. My initial thought would be from like not using insulated cable or if they're too long or whatnot. Grounding issues? loop back? My hardware is listed as: Asus Xonar DX 7.1 SVS subwoofer Audioengine a5+
  4. I can use this and watch movies in my room!!
  5. lol, well i was thinking of selling .. but then i may have to find all the parts and screws that it came with ahahaha.
  6. Just a quick question ... what do you guys do with your old cases? I want to change, but not sure what to do with it ...
  7. haha, yeah well .. no problem.
  8. why not just connect them to DVI. Linus does a few episode that DVI carries more bandwidth than HDMI the only difference between the 2 is that HDMI carries audio signal as well. don't use VGA, or you should avoid.
  9. You confused me with this. Are you saying you want to connect the monitor with VGA/DVI for office and then switch to HDMI for game? But don't use VGA lol. If i had 3 options between VGA, HDMI, and DVI .. I'd pick DVI because DVI can carry more bandwidth than HDMI if I remember correctly. Displayport is technically better than all the 3 connections that was listed.
  10. I just realized that the new monitors only have DP or HDMI for connection LOL. Maybe that's why people are complaining they can't see the full range. But from what I understand, it is not the monitor but the GPU itself. You do what these guys have to do enable the full range (http://blog.metaclassofnil.com/?p=83), and I believe that there are fixes out there for that. Also, one of the guys commented that they issue has been fixed with the latest Nvidia driver (347.09)
  11. I personally like having more real estate to work with. I program and work with spreadsheets, so it is easier and beneficial for me to have more verticals too (so I don't have to scroll too often). I use the Dell 2713HM. Ok, so I just checked the problem that people are having with Nvidia DP and HDMI cables. Maybe the reason I don't have any issues with the monitor and Nvidia card is because I use DVI cable instead of DP or HDMI.
  12. It say according to your amazon link, the resolution of the dell is 1920x1080 which is a 16:9 ratio. If it was a 16:10, the it would be a 1200p monitor (1920x1200) I am currently using my dell monitor with a Nvidia card, no issue. And where did you hear that about that? why would a gpu not go well with a monitor?
  13. well, no but those are like one of the pluses over the other monitor that you have posted. Dell comes with IPS screen too so color reproduction looks very nice. for gaming, i use a 8ms gtg response time, and I don't notice much blurring or ghosting.
  14. I usually have it something like this if you want to have a more umph for the bass. http://jrs-s.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/pualseaudio-eq.png
  15. lol, stupid ipad, .. i was saying Shure! .. it autocorrected to share
  16. lol, that's some weird equalizer setup you have. it's a bit hard to type from my iPad, but I'll give you a short lesson about eq or at least my exp. The left part of the ex resembles the bass, the middle are the mids, and the right is the trebble. now I know you want to have less trebble, but when you don't have enough treble th sound will be very muddy. the usual audiophile eq for those who likes bass looks like an inverted mountain. I'll elaborate more when I go on a comp
  17. I would look into share products, I hear they have good in ear.
  18. I have a xonar ... the way for me to get the front panel port to work was through the software of Xonar essence...

    Steelseries 3hv2

    I'm pretty sure that steelseries make gaming products, so I'm guessing it should work. I personally don't own one, but that's what I think. the computer software should be able to detect your product and it will probably find the driver for it to work
  20. ok , you need to change the equalizer for this ... basically it depends on how you like to listen to your audio. the number on the bottom: 30, 60, 120 ... etc. are referring to the frequency range I believe. therefore, if you want to have more bass, you would increase it. the middle are for the mid sounds and the higher one are for treble. for footsteps in game, I think that would refer more to the mid and lower parts.
  21. I think 1080p should do you good
  22. Out of those two, I'd definitely recommend the Dell. one of the biggest reason is because of ergonomics as you have tilt, swivel, and rotation; whereas the asus don't.
  23. Nah man, even with a backpack ... carrying a 7lbs laptop gets tiring after a while. But then again, I do a 1 hour commute to my school using public transit.
  24. I own a dell monitor and I can say that their customer service is superb. Between those 2 monitors, I'd pick the dell, just because of their customer service. Now, I'm from CAD, so it may be different if you're not in the NA. For response time, to me, I don't really notice the lag when I game (I believe mine is 8ms). Just an FYI too: when you purchase products that you use everyday, you may want to consider ergonomics, warranty, and customer service as well. Don't focus too much on specifications.
