I'll play. My speed test results. Same upload speed as well.

Yes, I need to calibrate my lenses. I won't be going outside for at least 3 more months due to the heat here so anything photo related is on hold for the most part. Medium Format mirrorless is here. Only $8995.

My brother gets 25-28 mb/s download speed from his satellite connection. Latency is of course too high for games, but for "regular" web surfing it's pretty good.

I don't actually expect to get part below cost, just wondering why cost is 10x as much on one page vs another page.

Perhaps a bit OT. Anybody have any experience with LED replacement bulbs for flashlights that have "old/regular" bulbs in them? I have a 3 D-Cell Maglight and wondering if it's worth it to change the bulb to LED.

Goofy website behavior. http://www.bta-mall.com/ Anybody heard of this site or used it? Their listed address and phone: 1-646-657-8981 58 E 14th St New York, NY 10003 U.S.A Anyways I go to hope their home page. Type "21024413" (a car part I'm looking for) in search box and get a result...

As far as Lr goes I didn't know the difference between a "destructive" and "non-destructive" editor or the whole database thing. I'll probably never use Lr, when I actually start getting into photo editing, simply for the lack of a, File|Open {do shit} Save option. I don't want a database and...

I got a call from "Microsoft" today. Well, at least that's who the caller-ID said called. The number was 914-465-0874. I was sleeping at the time so didn't answer call. I hope it wasn't something important. Maybe something is wrong with my computer on the "back end" as they like to call it...

This video cleared up some confusion on how, exactly, Lightroom works. Two possible sensor cleaning products: 1) Swab. Wet solution. or 2) Gel stick. Dry solution.

Sigma makes a 200-500 f/2.8 that comes with a 2x TC. The 34.5 lbs may effect portability though. ;)

That's exactly why you'd need three.

Lunar or Tannin would love this. No more fooling around with a 1.4x TC on your 500/4.

Another question about photo above ^^^. White paper shot with direct sun appears purple in color. Exposure or White balance issue?

^^^ I'm not interested in the lens carrying gadget, just thought the image of someone swinging a big lens around is not something you see everyday. New business. My sensor is dirty. D.I.R.T.Y. Laid some copy paper on the ground in the sun, shot at ISO 100, 1/60 @ f/36 and this is the...

Fun way to carry your 400mm f/2.8 lens.

^^ Probably true of most public pools.

Seems are 6-7 month long summer was delayed a few weeks, but now the hotness is coming to town later in the week and weekend.

Send pic to the contributors via PM, or post it here.

For me, Political Science 6A, 6B, 6C (quarter system) taught by: A=Dean of Undergraduate Education, B=Dean of Political Science, C=Dean of Social Science; was more difficult than any lower-division 10-99, or upper-division 100-199 class. So watch out for the "basic" courses, especially if...

Sed's not a dinosaur like us old farts, using an O/S that's 2 version behind the current one. LOL. /snark

tl;dr I'm working A-OK now. Thanks again for the quick responses. Long version. DD, I never update video drives using windows update. Merc, it was one game. Sed, I powered off and restarted several times. And re-installed video driver and Directx 9 and 11. I upgraded my video driver in...

I've started to get a "Direct 3D Initialization Error" after starting a game. Game requires DirectX 9. I have DirectX 9 and 11 installed. I have updated video drivers and re-installed DriectX v 9 and 11. The game I was playing worked fine at 3840 x 2160 x 60 Hz for a day or two, now it...

True, except the 10 fps of the D500. The D8xx{whatever} would need a sensor with 45'ish MP to get its 1.5x crop in the 20mp range of the D500. Honestly I'd rather have a D8{whatever} with base ISO of 40 than a 45mp ISO 100 camera. Another 2/3 stop improvement over the D810, which already has...

Canon patent for a 20 to 1 super zoom. EF 28-560mm f/2.8-5.6. 45-900mm (1.6x crop) equivalent on DDs 7Dii. :D There's a rumor the 28-300mm was due for an update, but bumping the long end to 560mm. wow! This in addition to the 200-600mm f/4.5-5.6 lens. Canon is working on some amazing...

I found out about Ultramon while googling my issue, I'll look into it. I'm just frustrated that it worked before but not now. I tried putting secondary 24" monitor in landscape mode, it didn't fix issue. Here's a pic comparing the size of the Dell 43" Vs my 24" HP ZR24w. The bottom left...

After wondering for 30 seconds, "Why the fuck won't it turn on," I realized the power cable wasn't plugged in. I thought I re-connected everything. Doh. After I got that figured out, my already booted computer was displaying my 43" monster monitor at 3840 x 2160 x 60Hz via DP. FANTASTIC...

Monitor arrived. Box looks pristine. Of course I leave for work in less than an hour so won't get to play with it for a bit. I'll post some before/after pics by the weekend.

Same. I've been using "the script" as a guide for which updates are not safe for installing. It's a PITA. 40'ish KB updates now are listed as "contain W10 shit" that I don't want. Hiding updates is useless as they are always un-hidden on next update. I just want to run Windows Update...

Hopefully everything is finally fixed Handy. Funny, every time I read this thread and you guys talk about some upgrade option I'm thinking, "that {item} is worth more than my entire "car." :D As far as any credit card charge back goes, don't do it. Yes you are in the right, but...

As far as Dell shipping, I figured out the issue. Dell's email to me said the monitor was shipped on the 9th with a delivery date of the 11th. But actually Dell sent the shipping info to Pilot Freight Services on the 11th and was picked up from Dell on the 13th. Sigh. Estimated delivery is...

Dell's free 2-day delivery service is worth exactly what I paid for it. Shipped on Monday, still not here on Friday. Not impressed. Hopefully the monitor will deliver.

My ship date was May 9th with a delivery date of May 11. Credit card charged. Monitor still not delivered. Perhaps Dell is investigating the fake name I used in the "business" line of the address after all. Hopefully it will arrive on Friday for weekend fun. Edit: Not 30 seconds after...

If you read the [H]ard|OCP article regarding the Nvidia's Founders Edition card they mention the point that these cards will continue to exist for the entire life cycle of the card. Not simply a few card produced in the beginning then quickly go Out-Of-Stock. That way the larger system...

Absolutely. Thanks Merc.

D500 appears to be in stock at Adorama and Best Buy. B&H still OOS. Lunar? If I didn't just drop $1455 on a Dell monitor I'd consider it.

The pictures on the Ars site show the card with only ONE 8-pin PEG power connector!

Seems the Dell order form requires a business name!?! I just put "{first & last initials} Consulting." Hope that works. :D

Fantastic. Exactly what I wanted to hear. And yeah it's big. I have a 42" Vizio TV not 6' away from my computer desk, and when I step back and visualize that TV on my desk, I thought for a second, shit, I hope it's not TOO big. (that's what she said) I'll be ordering soon. Thanks for the...

4k gaming = GPU limited for some time to come. The slooooooooooooow pace of intel CPU upgrades means you can now go 5-8 years between cpus before you would gain much by upgrading. /snark Are we going to get 1080p and 1080i versions of the card?

Same types of things were said about Reagan. Trump isn't going to have a big red button on his desk to start WWIII all by himself. He's going to be surrounded by TONS and TONS of civilian & military advisors as well as the U.S. national security establishment that will guide him in his...

^^^ Glad to hear you received your Dell 43". Any issues? 3840x2160 @ 60Hz via DP? Excessive IPS glow/bleed? Color quality/uniformity? Input lag/gaming issues? Decent stand? Dell spec sheet says "VESA 100 mm and 200mm" is this accurate? Any show stoppers or caveats? Thanks again for you...

I'm in agreement with SD that the "entertainment factor" of the Trump v. Clinton train wreck can't be overlooked. Trump definitely scares the poo-poo out of the "moneyed interests." Clinton, just like Obama, will allow and give the banks/big business anything they want.

"Usually ships within 1 to 3 months." :scratch: I'll willingly pay the Dell price premium to receive the better warranty and adjustable stand. Once DD receives his and reports no "show stopper" issues I'll order from Dell.

I've calmed down from my initial excitement and will wait for your review. I realized that I'm going to have to completely change my computer desk/setup to accommodate a 43" monitor. I currently have computer and 22" monitor to my left, my 24" HP center (flanked by two speakers), and my HP...

Received an answer from EVGA and they said that the Display Port on my original Titan is a DP 1.2 port. They also quoted exactly the info from the NVIDIA site so I should fine at 3840x2160 @ 60 Hz using the DP port.

The 43" Dell is a "P" series monitor and not in the Ultrasharp line. Is the difference simply better electronics, calibration, features, etc or are there panel differences between the lines? I wonder if an Ultrasharp 43" will show up? When? Goddamn my OCD. I want this monitor RFN. Sent a...

Not good news if true. This specifications page lists "Maximum Digital Resolution"(1) as 4096x2160. Footnote (1) 3840x2160 at 30Hz or 4096x2160 at 24Hz supported over HDMI. 4096x2160 (including 3840x2160) at 60Hz supported over Displayport. Support for 4k tiled MST displays requires 326.19...

I created a "Dell Advantage" account and FREE shipping/handling ($-39.99) applied to checkout. Any other Dell coupon codes? DD? Not that I would guess there would be any for such a new item, but doesn't hurt to ask. Guess I should confirm that my original Titan will output 60 Hz @ 3840x2160...

Yes. Yes. Sure thing, but DD will have a review before me. I'm also happy about a VESA mount. No VESA, plus crappy stand equals a no buy. And with a 40+ inch monitor, mounting options/stand is very important. I'm not infatuated with IPS, but like you I don't want a TN panel. I'm not...

Oh baby. Dell 43" 4k display. OK. Time to start seriously thinking about a new monitor. I wonder if the $500 price delta over the Phillips will be justified. Edit: This will probably be my new monitor. Probably wait a day or two to cool down from the excitement. Finally a 40'ish inch 4k...
