    konorok reacted to D00B3R95 in PC Racing Wheel Software   
    Are there any kinds of software to ease setting up a racing wheel for Windows?
     
    With this I mean ones where you could set the pedals as inverted or centered.
            I haven't been able to find any, and since 1 pedal shows it's inverted I need something to switch it around.
            Already looked all over the internet and this is the last place I will ask.
    (in case you are wondering) I have A Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback(a VERY old racing wheel.)

    konorok reacted to apav in Calibration Retry Count error on HDD?   
    Hey guys,
     
    Just noticed my external HDD shows up having a Calibration Retry Count error, and the Data value is 5.  According to Crystaldisk, it also reads 5 under Data, but Recalibration Retries is blue instead of yellow (meaning it's normal) and my health status is Good. I have no idea what this means, only that potentially it could be a problem. I ran an error scan but everything was fine. I also ran a short drive self test and a short genereic test in Seatools, and both tests passed. Looking the error up says it is a sign of a potential drive failure. Should I be worried? Also side question, is there a way to backup 560 GB of data on that drive into a much smaller size with a backup software? How small could I possibly get that backup (containing all 560 GB of everything on that drive) to be? I've never backed up a drive of that size before.
     
    Thank you! Oh and here's a picture in case you're wondering:

    konorok reacted to GoodBytes in IPS vs AH-IPS   
    AH-IPS is a sub type of IPS family. In reality there is no "IPS" panel by itself, it's always one of the following variation:
    -> AH-IPS, H-IPS, P-IPS, S-IPS, eIPS (economic IPS), E-IPS (Enhanced IPS), AS-IPS, IPS-Pro or PLS (Samsung version of IPS).
    They are all pretty much the same at the end of teh day. Any advantages point they mark, are always on the highest end (read: Professional grade monitor) models. At the consumer level, even high-end ones, there isn't much difference. It might be 5-10% better at something, but also 5-10% worst at something else.
    That is why, people regroup them as just IPS, as the differences isn't noticeable, unless you seek something very specific. That is why also, Samsung tried to name their IPS panels to PLS, as an attempt to difference itself, as a new panel technology, but in reality, it's just IPS, and has nothing really special, as, like I mentioned, what ever percentage its good at doing, it's about the same percentage worst at doing something else. The differences is just to avoid patent disputes, mostly.
    The big difference is that eIPS are always 6-bit panels, while the rest CAN BE 6-bit panels as well, but can also be 8-bit, and some types can be true 10-bit panels and even higher. So, doesn't mean that a panel is AH-IPS panel, that is necessary is an 8-bit panel, it can be a 6-bit panel.
