Thanks man, the LG one works great. At first it has a faint smell similar to the Acer one, however after a couple of days, the smell completely went away. I think the smell is actually the anti-glare chemical treatment or something, which Acer added way too much. But very satisfied with the LG...

Thanks! I think I will replace it. Even with the bottom vents both blocked, it doesn't work for me. The smell is faint and I think if used with a desktop, wouldn't be a problem. However, with a laptop, the fan is on the desk and siphoning air from the back and bottom, so this chemical plastic...

Hi, Sorry for the late reply. I figured out what the problem is. I'm wondering if you or anyone can give me advice based on the new information. So what made me think this is not a new monitor smell was that it was actually fine when I first got it and progressively got worse. What happened...

Depends on the reason you are selling him. Is this a business or just for friendship? If I am building a computer for a friend, then I would only charge him for the parts and my labor is completely free. Basically I'm doing him a favor, helping him build a computer, but he's paying for the...

Unfortunately no, it is just me. It is actually very strange. I had a Samsung monitor for over 10 years, but it never produced any smell. Though I did notice when I woke up in the morning, my mouth would be very bitter. But I had always attributed that to simply morning breath. So one day, the...

ahh 3 months is 90 days, just about the end of the warranty. but i suppose i should be able to tell if the smell is becoming fainter in that time? If this really is just a new smell thing, I don't want to exchange it b/c it just means I have to start over. Yes, the smell is very faint, but at...

I bought this: https://www.costco.com/acer-24"-class-fhd-ips-monitor.product.100674589.html About 30 days ago and it works beautifully. However, there is a faint, I mind you, very faint, odor that smells like plastic. It doesn't smell like "burning" plastic, just heavy plastic smell. At first...

It's the Acer 24" Class FHD IPS Monitor K243Y bi So it will run 59/60 Hz even if it is 75 Hz? That is great!

Hi, I have a HP Dv6t-7000 Quad edition laptop running Win 7 with a 2nd monitor in extended mode. The GPU is Nvidia GT 650m in optimus with Intel HD 4000. So for a better part of 10 years, I have been running with a Samsung SyncMaster 2494HM and it ran beautifully at 1920x1080x60Hz. I am...

Since the 1070 is newer than 970, so you would expect it to use "less" to do the same work. I mean if it helps, go into NCP and change the power management to "maximum performance" and see if you get what you're looking for. But I don't actually recommend it b/c if the GPU does not need to be...

My bad, it's RAID 1. Edit: Wait, oh I don't know. Too confusing. It's whatever Intel RST uses to cache a HDD. Just a bad idea I found out the hard way.

From what I understand RAID 0 configuration turns the SSD into a flash cache. Setting it in the BIOS should not have wiped the disk, but this varies from BIOS to BIOS and really depends on what your BIOS did. It "could" have wiped it out. Did it give you a warning before it allows you to change...

As I've recently tried a similar thing, using a NVMe for a RAID 0 configuration, I ran into a bit of a snag. Intel RST won't recognize the NVMe. I read through several articles and I believe the conclusion is that NVMe is not supported in RAID. With that said, there were other hit and misses...

Sounds like a driver issue. I know it is cliche, but upgrade to the latest driver. But also, and I admit I might be a little outdated, but Radeon RX is an AMD GPU. From my understanding in the past, AMD products work best with AMD products, they always had compatibility issues with other...

There is a lot of info missing, but from a general stand point, if everything is working except your monitor, have you confirmed the monitor is the culprit? I recently took my laptop apart and put it back together. The monitor wouldn't show up, that's the built in laptop display. Turns out I...
