Thanks a lot for your answer. I did contact the manufacturer now, but I don't expect them to be able/willing to help me. I also found another potential solution, which is that there appear to be panels like this in the shape of DVD drives for 10-15 bucks, including the audio ports, USB 3.0...

So my headphone socket on the front of my computer has been broken for a while now after tripping over a headphone cord. As you can see the mic socket is still intact. I'm not technical at all, so I don't know how the hell I'd go about replacing it. I don't have any tools beyond screwdrivers and...

Thanks a lot. I have a panel of 5ms at the moment and have no problem gaming at all. Frame sync isn't important either. Unfortunately both screens you mentioned aren't available in Europe. I used PCPartPicker to look for more but the only ones even close to my price range are all TN screens with...

Most stores have it for 300 euros here too so it's no surprise to me that it's 300 dollar in America. I don't care about higher refresh rates whatsoever and wouldn't mind a higher input lag either. Would you say that screens of 230 dollars or less won't have noticeably better black levels or...

The BenQ EL2870U caught my eye. One store has a low stock and is selling them for 220 euros, which roughly translates to 220 dollars in the U.S. markets. I'm wondering if I should go for it, or if there's a model for the same price or less with better colors and black levels. I don't mind to...

I really despise this TV set. After a lot of research, I came to the conclusion that this is the one to buy, but then I found out that it does not exist in Europe. Now all other options seem utterly inadequate.

My desktop that's about one month old has a wi-fi adapter (Qualcomm Atheros AR9287). I never had to use it because I had a wired connection, though I did test it 3 weeks ago or so. I moved yesterday to a place with no wired options and only wi-fi. However, my desktop is not detecting any wi-fi...

Thanks a lot for the encouragement and the recommendation from Blackbird. I'll take my time and do it myself.

I really hate the idea of digging into computers and the most work I've ever done is install an extra strip of RAM (which was frightening enough). But here I am with a newly imported system and a PSU that is remarkably noisy (630W Thermaltake Berlin 80+). Sending it back for repair/replacement...

I've been looking into this for a while now, but I'm not very confident about the information I've found. The threads and articles I find are all rather outdated. I have a non-wireless router and a Windows PC connected to it by cable. This PC has no wireless network card. I would like to create...
