Hello, I received a Samsung S24E510C monitor today and noticed a strange issue with the way text/images are presented on it. Rough jagged lines and fringing artefacts are evident on the edges of certain on screen elements. These blemishes appear on images/graphics but are particularly apparent...

Hi, I recently got an IPS monitor with FreeSync functionality. It only supports up to 75hz but I decided to give it a try none the less as I own an AMD card (albeit a very old one!, 5850 HD). Once I turned it on I noticed a bunch of weird glitches on screen including some flickering green...

Hi, I recently discovered a pretty significant colour difference when viewing YouTube videos in Chrome and Firefox. Colours appear much more desaturated, washed out and yellow/green tinted in Chrome compared to Firefox. After searching online for an explanation for this someone suggested...

Thanks for the answers guys, I think i'll just keep the monitor and hopefully my eyes will adjust eventually. Sometimes it's just reassuring to hear that you don't have a defective product! It's probably best to avoid returning it and asking for a replacement as i'm sure the results will be...

I should also say, the monitors name/make/model is the LG 23MP68VQ. Link to it here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/LG-23MP68VQ-23-Inch-Class-Monitor/dp/B01F1PSHVW/ref=sr_1_22?srs=1648522031&ie=UTF8&qid=1478752962&sr=8-22

Ok I think I figured it out using some guides online. The black lead is hooked up to the "COM" socket and the red lead is hooked up to the ohm reader (VΩmA) just like in that pic. The reading for the "000" resistor is "001" using both sides of the meter leads. The reading for the 5V diode is...

Thanks for the replies, I backup my work on a constant basis (to the point where its borderline OCD) so this is a rare scenario for me. It's just the very recent stuff (past few weeks) saved directly to the desktop (for convenience sake) that I need to get back and its only a few hundred mb's...

Hello, this is a call out to all IT wizards out there! Yesterday morning I powered up my PC to be greeted with a message reading "Internal Disk Error", a message I had never seen before. After having a quick look through the BIOS I noticed that the machine had suddenly stopped recognizing the...
