Hello all, My Canon ip4000's head wouldn't move to the "replace cartridge" position, and in the process of trying various combinations of pressing and holding the power and "resume" buttons, I suspect I accidentally entered service mode and somehow told the printer that it's an ip4100 (the...

I saw another user with a similar problem. This is an excellent TV / Monitor for the price, but after I got it home I realized it didn't tilt back and forth. And yeah, Circuit City isn't doing returns. I'm not sure that I'd return it anyway, it just needs a better stand. Is there a 3rd party...

I recently purchased a HP LP2475W. When viewing a completely white screen, the lower left corner is greenish and the top right is pinkish. The color variation blends from one corner to the other such that there is essentially a neutral diagonal line from top left to bottom right. The...

First off let me pose a general question about computers. Why does purchasing computer components suck so much? Especially for monitors? Of all the annoying return policies and warranties monitors have the worse. New Egg for instance won't take back a monitor unless it has 8 dead pixels. I...

Hey I was wondering if any one knows where I can find resolution comparison screen shots of native resolutions. I would like to see a comparison of 1680x1050 native vs 1920x1080 native AND 1680x1050 native vs 1920x1200 native (Obvisually the 1680x1050 has to be on a 22" and the other on a...

ok, i have 2 monitors that are exactly the same and just got a new vid card which supports dual monitor. I just set it up and have a few questions about it... 1. How much energy does a monitor use? I'm afraid I may be jacking up my electric bill a bit by having 2 monitors like this, especially...

I just ordered two Acer LCD monitors one a 22 inch and a 24 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009154). When they are both being used on the desktop they look perfectly normal; however, on either monitor when I play a game dark horizontal lines (usually grey in color) run...

I recelntly bought a G9 laser gaming mouse, how do I program keyboard keys onto the mouse? Like make the keyboard button SHIFT work on one of the generic buttons on the mouse. thank you

I am looking to get a new monitor. I want a really, really good one and I am willing to spend the money for it. Which monitor provides the best picture without an outrageous price? I am leaning towards a 24" as that seems to be the best balance and it has a resolution that I think I will be...

This is probably a noob question to the experienced people here, but I am trying to upgrade my monitor and don't quite get something, or maybe am just missing it. I have a NVidia GeForce 9800 GX2 video card which has Two Dual Link DVI outputs on it. I am looking to get a Dell UltraSharp...

So, I'm currently looking at this for a Gaming build... And am completely stuck on a monitor. I'm really hoping to settle on what to buy within the next two days, because of the 20% discount with the promo codes that ends on the 26th. I'm not particularly picky about size, and I would much...

Hi ive been using a 19" CRT for several years and am finally deciding to upgrade to a widescreen LCD. I primarily play games, so quality is important to me. There are 3 LCDs im currently looking at, and would like to spend under 300$...

I notice there is a lot of opinions when it comes to which LCD's are best for gaming and which are better for multimedia (watching movies)... which have fast response time - to keep ghosting down ...what about the pixel pitch? Are there any good ones that excel ALL AROUND? I have a really...

Hello. This is my first post here. I have a LG Electronics L204WT Monitor. It is a digital widescreen with a native resolution of 1680*1050. The problem is, I can only achieve a resolution of 1600*900. I have tried adding custom resolutions, but it says "This custom resolution cannot be added"...

My dad has asked me to look for a decent flat screen monitor for our home PC. He would like it to be 19" and wants to spend no more than £200 or about $380. He wants it to be future proof if there is such a thing in monitors. Any help that anybody can give me would be good. Thanks

I want to go wireless with my mouse, keyboard, and headphones. I need to know whether RF or bluetooth is better as far as music quality, responsiveness, and battery life. (All these will be used at the same time sitting in front of my computer) Also, would you recommend recharging docks or...

I have a monitor with only vga in. I have two vga sources, but need to switch between them without replugging the cables every time. So I looked into VGA switch boxes. I have heard, though, that there can be quality degradation, and some weird problems with some. Has anyone had any experience...

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?) I've lost one color and also lost segments for other colors. A new print head costs $80 or so. I've read that these Canon print heads don't last long. Is this printer worth this expense or is there a newer printer that gives better...

I've got an MX1000 and was thinking about vinyl dyeing the plastic (blue part) white. Anybody had any experience dismantling the mouse? is painting it possible? I haven't heard any stories either way. I want to make sure it will work before i void my warranty.
