    Is IPS glow unavoidable in $200-300 monitors? Should I return my new monitor?

    Glow AND bleed? Damn. I'm returning it to bestbuy for a replacement. Not a fan of having to do the monitor lottery but I'm hoping the next one isn't this bad. I can tolerate a bit of glow, but that lower right of the screen is like all bleed and its very noticeable.

    Is IPS glow unavoidable in $200-300 monitors? Should I return my new monitor?

    Picked up this Acer G247HYL IPS monitor and I'm absolutely loving the rich colors, however I'm noticing the right side of my screen, specifically the bottom right, is quite bright. It's hard not to notice it. At times it doesn't bother me, but I'm curious if my case is more severe and if I...

    Which of these 3 monitors do you recommend?

    Ah, you learn something everyday. I wondered why they all had fixed 1000:1 yet a larger differing number next to it. Am I safe to assume that the ASUS I linked would be a quality upgrade over a 6-7 year old LED with 12:1M, even if that number is generally useless? I've noticed for months that...

    Which of these 3 monitors do you recommend?

    Hey all. I noticed that the backlight on my old 12M:1 LED Gateway FHX2402L is giving out. I'm at the point where I'm going to upgrade but want to make sure I'm making the best decision. I'm going for 60hz as I rarely play FPS games and spend a lot of time playing games that hover around 45-55...

    Can I mix these ram sticks? (4GB + 8GB)

    I currently have: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 4GB DDR3 PC 12800 1.5V / Timing: 9-9-9-24 / CAS Latency: 9 I also have a stick of this: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB DDR3 PC 12800 1.5V / Timing: 10-10-10-30 / CAS Latency: 10 Both obviously run at the same speeds, DDR type and voltage so I'm...

    GTX 970 Crashes with OC - Do I need more voltage?

    After almost a year of reading about OCing my card, I finally decided to do so. I have an MSI GTX 970 4G and have been playing a lot of ARK Survival Evolved as of late. Before now I never seen a purpose to OCing as I could nearly max my other games with max fps but since OCing I've seen upwards...

    Faint humming coming from computer, but from where?

    I think the easiest solution is replacing my heatsink's fan and the fans on my case. A few are giving out anyways. I managed to get my CPU fan below 700 RPM and the noise is still present and just as vague and faint as ever. At this point I'm convinced it's the GPU (perhaps a very, very faint...

    Faint humming coming from computer, but from where?

    Doesn't appear to be the PSU as the noise is more around the middle/top of my case, but again super faint and always seems to vanish when I put my ear to case. When I'm sitting at PC typing it can get quite loud, oddly! I've been using HWMonitor to correlate fan RPM. I have a feeling it's the...

    Faint humming coming from computer, but from where?

    For the past few days I have noticed a somewhat persistent very faint humming sound coming from my computer. It's not always present, it seems to fade in and out as though my GPU fans are starting up and then turning off, which is not the case. It's not exactly loud, but it is detectable from...
