I bought this one for my parents. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009588&Tpk=24-009-588 It was $170 with free shipping at the time. It's not IPS, it's a VA panel with 3000:1 native contrast. It's got a wider viewing angle than a TN panel, but it's not IPS wide. I...

My parent have a 27" FHD 1920x1080 LCD. The big pixels work well for older people.

Define readily available. Do you mean walk into Best Buy and pick it up, or easily ordered online?

So I got my R9 380 today. I had to use the drivers off the included CD because apparently AMD doesn't provide drivers anymore for Windows 7 32-bit. Who knew... Long story short with the same madVR render settings as before using my worst case scaling scenario (DVD -> FullHD) render times...

Yeah, apparently I should have read the webpage a little closer. It seems they're only supporting 64-bit now. Asus provided a Win 7 32-bit driver on the CD for it though. I was thinking to move the system to Windows 10 x64 now that madVR has 64 bit versions.

No, but I tried IE 11. It does the same thing.

So, I had no idea it was so hard to download drivers from AMD. I have a Radeon R9 380. I'm running Windows 7 32-bit. For the life of me I can't find a working link for the drivers. Not a positive sign. First of all I can't pick Windows 7 - 32 bit on the left hand side. Further, clicking...

Well, they probably have more platters too.

They're using a lot of 4K (or higher) cameras, but the Digital Intermediate (DI) is generally 2K. 4K DI's are the pretty rare exception, not the rule.

What are you looking for? I picked up an ASUS Radeon R9 380 2GB from Newegg on the 24th for $169.99 before a $30 rebate. I added a few SD cards that were at Black Friday price levels to pad out the order to $200 so I could use the Newegg/AmEx promotion for $25 off a $200 purchase. UPS is...

Then there will be a dearth of actual true UHD content since the DIs of nearly all major movies are 2K, not 4K. So the studios are going to upscale the video before encoding it. I hope HDR and the wider color gamut are enough to sell the format.

I'm in for pictures and video. That you and mounting it to a quad and starting a frenzy of UFO sightings.

Get a P3 Killawatt. Then you can measure to your heart's content.

That's because they go complacent and lazy with their Primecentric bargain focus. All they did was copy deals from Best Buy, Target, Walmart, etc instead of having their own unique deals. Those three retailers will ship for free regardless of order size without requiring a $99 a year...

So bad it took you 10 years? :p

I'm really tempted to try Ting. I currently have a 4 line 700 minute a month family plan with Verizon with flip phones, no data and no texting. It's about $95 a month which isn't bad, but it would be nice to have a smartphone with some texting / data capability without paying a $40 a month...

Huge lack of bass compared to what? If you've got a good seal to your ear canal with the tips they're decent in the low end for an IEM sounding fairly balanced across the spectrum. They certainly not bass heavy though. I can't say I really noticed them breaking in. What are you driving them...

Best Buy seems to have my number this "Black Friday" week with all their various promotions. From the $3.99 & $6.99 CDs to the BOGO Blu-rays and free shipping regardless of the order size or amount. I can't remember the last time I bought this many things from them. On the other hand...

Break it and possibly steal it.

:confused: A Core 2 Quad with a SSD is still a perfectly serviceable machine for the typical home PC uses. Current, no. But from a performance standpoint just fine. Or did you mean something else with the generally decent comment?

No, I wasn't that serious.

:erm: And you didn't think to share with the rest of us? :scratch:

No problem. I'm good at helping people spend money. Hopefully you will like them.

Totally impractical, but I want one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JVqRy0sWWY

Look pretty good. I suppose I should watch Avengers: Age of Ultron before watching that one.

For the most part, yes. The video card basically does all the video codec decoding in hardware. The CPU doesn't do a lot. Mostly just IVTC if you've got film based interlaced content with a telecine applied to it. The pixel shaders do most of the magic, and some of the routines are VERY GPU...

With skill aluminum can be welded. However, most places will probably tell you it can't be done. You'd also have to refinish that part of the wheel, though being on the inside the finish match isn't so critical. That's probably also the sort of thing you'd want to disclose when selling them...

So it seems I'm turning my HTPC into a space heater. I just ordered one of these to replace the Radeon HD 7790 I have in their now. What's an extra 105W TDP between friends? What did I do that for? Why for madVR of course. Yes, I know it's an AMD card, but they are much better performers...

That sucks. Does that wheel/tire lose pressure? Have you tried contacting Morr? I realize you're looking to move on to something else, but only having 3 good wheels will make selling them much harder / greatly reduce the potential price. You may be able to get it repaired, which at the very...

I'm not so sure about it. It seems to look a lot like a Miata.

It's pretty simple. Tell the salesperson you want to buy a car. You tell them the features and options. When they don't have one with the features you want on the lot they can check inventory around the country. If they can't get a car like you want, they will order it. They may try to get...

Were you also folding on the CPU cores? If so would that account for the PPD difference?

Yes, I know. I should have gotten a robotic mower. :owneddnce: I'm pretty sure that's a legal requirement in the US and has been for decades. They have to shut off if you don't actively hold the handle or at the very least disengage the blade. My current mower is an old Stereodude propelled...

It's not a car

So I bought a Honda today. 8)

I'd suggest programming within an Electrical Engineer or Computer Engineer context if you enjoy programming. Specifically C/C++ for embedded systems (microcontrollers / microprocessors). Savvy Electrical or Computer Engineers knowledgeable with embedded system programming are in high demand...

So you think we're mind readers? Why what?

I think it is a holiday special. From what I remember of last year, might have been the year before, pretty much all the retailers had the sale pricing, not just direct.

Per the e-mail I got from HiFiMAN the RE-600s will be $149 starting on the 23rd. The RE400 will be $59.

Renhcub, Renhcub...

Tortillas with shingles... Sounds tasty!

What speakers / headphones do you have / have you heard that you like? Let see if there's any overlap so we can see if we have similar tastes in fidelity or not.

BMW and Mercedes sell them. Chevy has a diesel Cruz. So there are still some diesel cars out there outside of the VAG umbrella. I'm not saying you necessarily should buy one. I was just saying that if I was trying to maximize fuel economy I'd rather have a diesel than a hybrid.

I'm not familiar with the Dunu DN-1000's. People are saying nice things about them, but frankly I'm not sure how reliable head-fi reviews are anymore. Some of the headphones I like get raves reviews there, but I've heard at least one pair of headphones that gets raves reviews at Head-Fi where...

I'd take a diesel over a hybrid any day.

Fuel economy

I'm a little tempted by one of these V10s. I currently have a LG flip phone (VX8600) from 2006 with texting and data turned off as part of a 4 line family plan. Now I've heard that carriers no longer provide discounts on phones and you buy them at full price, and that the sort of family plan I...

Not too shabby. Generally the sun behind your subject over the shoulder like your 3rd shot works best for outdoors. Add a reflector, something like this, to bounce light on the front of your subjects for fill.

Yes, but the public has to show up and buy them instead of thinking diesel is a dirty word. Hopefully they will.

That's pretty cool. Hopefully the VW TDI fiasco doesn't take down everyone's diesel ambitions.
